The competition version of Ford’s Mustang Shelby GT350R, the GT350R-C, will take to the track for the first time this coming weekend, in the IMSA Continental Tire SportsCar Challenge at Watkins Glen, New York.
-Like the upcoming street car, the GT350R-C is powered by a 5.2-liter flat-plane crankshaft V-8. Compared to the GT350R, the racing version utilizes a thoroughly revised suspension with a lower ride height and retuned springs, bushings, anti-roll bars, and ball joints. Campaigned by Multimatic Motorsports, the Shelby-ized Mustang will compete in the series for the remainder of this season.
