Yes, I'm very familiar with the differences between the 350 and 350R. Probably more than I want because I've already been busy ordering parts for Bert's 350R. He won't shut up about it.

Is it possible you're only going off of what you're read and never seen one in person? Early 350R's didn't offer stereo. Almost all 350R's produced today have stereo and AC. It's what they call the "electronics package." The 350R does have a trunk lining, which is very visible when you see one in person. But none of that really matters when you're only talking about 105 pounds of weight savings over the non-R anyways.

That's a different question than where we started. At first you said the 350/R sucked because of drag strip times, not track times. For a heavier car with 6MT and only 100 more whp than the M3, the 350/R looks pretty impressive to me, and that sentiment seems echoed by all of the independent reviews I've seen for it too.
