There's no way it will be outgunned by The 13/14 GT500. You know that after all the cars and races you've experienced.
662hp Supercharged 3700lbs
cs
600+?? Twin Turbo (current 3.5 hits 90% torque by 1500 rpms) and it's rumored to weight just under 3000lbs
Even at 600hp even it wouldn't come close, much less the real number (im expecting it to hit 640s at least).

Outgunned... as in raw horsepower numbers, not power to weight.

Everybody likes big v8s and big power but seriously a supercar like this needs to be well balanced and there's such a thing as too much power. .......I should know, I've played forza....

Now the gt350R. Thats more intriguing to me. Only thing that stinks is, no AC or radio.
I read that for a little more scratch you can opt for the electronics package which includes a stereo and ac...
