I saw a video that hints of an announcement on 1-12-18. Looks like the wait might be over.

Wonder what the weight distribution is, compared to a 350R? Will it be a drag strip special or a good track car? This question is actually code for “should I keep looking for an R, or start sucking up to dealers for next year?”

After the 2013 and 2014 GT500's had 662 HP, they'll need to really "take it up a notch" above 700 HP to gain traction in sales. Many alternatives out there now. Hopefully some kind of aggressive/retro styling?

You mean it's going to have the sagging rear end problem of the GT350R with too much weight again? This is a real problem that needs to be addressed. Gaps looked fine at delivery. Sits in an AC warehouse in Florida with 600 miles on it and the ass is sagging. WTF?
