Shelby GT350R vs. Z/28 MotorTrend Head-to-Head

Got heatsoak?

Here comes GM fiasco, heatsoak part deux.

OT maybe cause not talking about the GT350 at all buuuuuuuut....

There isn't any issues with the LT4 in the CTS-V. The heatsoak is attributed to the very small frontal surface area of the corvette. I'm sure it'll be just fine with the Camaro if they do put it in it.

I had been looking forward to getting the keys to the Cadillac CTS-V for a while. The seats look supple, the body lines look distinct, and the LT4 motor is touted as an unlimited tower of power. 640 horsepower in a Cadillac? Yes, please! Yet, as I was traveling down a long stretch of desert highway the day before, the car didn’t feel as I envisioned. It actually felt…slow.

During a few session out on the track, like the day before, the car went into limp mode and didn’t provide all the power it was supposed to have. This has become a reoccurring theme with both the Corvette Z06 and the CTS-V.

The LT4 motor just doesn’t like heat, and it especially doesn’t like being driven hard. Something that is annoying given each car’s power and handling capabilities. What’s interesting about this phenomenon is that the Cadillac should be immune from overheating due to its larger intercooler and massive front intakes. Yet, there I was, with the same issue.

The new Camaro does have three radiators, correct?

Yes, it does.

The LT4 seems to have been proven a rather unreliable beast. So much promise but keeps on tripping over cracks. My ideal Stingray would be a...well, Viper. But for seriously, the Z51 seems to be the C7 to have.

I saw the GT350R at SEMA for the first time and was amazed. Between all the cars in this price range this would be on the top of my list.

I do not have access to any tracks or racing circuits. For that I prefer the GT350 over the GT350R. I prefer the back seat, aircon, sound system, and luxury comforts. After watching the video the 5.2L FPC is all I want for Christmas.
