I second this. The Boss 302 is still an incredible car and was the pinnacle of the S197 platform IMHO. I still miss mine to this day & hope to add one back eventually.

Nothing on the next 500 is confirmed. As of now, Ford & SAI haven’t even renewed a licensing agreement. But to answer your question OP, owned both. 500 and it’s not even close.

Lol not coming at this from a purist standpoint. Was only clarifying because not a lot of people understand the difference. Didn’t mean any harm.

Should have clarified: all Ford OEM Shelby models. The Shelby F-150 falls into the same bucket as the Super Snake. These both start as run of the mill Mustang GTs and F-150s and are sent to Shelby American for aftermarket work. Neither of these are factory models.

If your question is does Shelby American have any involvement with the GT350/GT500, the answer is no. Both are solely a product of Ford Performance. Same with all Shelby models since the name was brought back in 2007.

I’m a bit bias because I loved my GT350 and had absolutely zero issues or oil consumption with it. I sold it with around 40,000 miles. If you’re looking to keep a manual, there’s no better option in my opinion. You only ever hear the bad with the GT350 and never the good lol.

I remember that…a dealer near me in early 2020 had so many Bullitts sitting, they were letting them go for $35k with Magneride & electronics package.

This is officially in the running for most ridiculous thread since I’ve been a member here.

No chance!

Alright, I’ll bite. What’s your angle here?

As a former GT350 & current GT500 owner, I have no anger whatsoever. I’ll admit…it took a lot upfront to ditch the 3rd pedal, but I haven’t looked back since. And I’ve had a 3rd pedal in all my Mustangs since I was 18 in my ‘03 Mach 1. I’m 31 now, so it was obviously a huge adjustment. The DCT...

I think we may set a record this week for most new threads about the BBQ tick 🍿

I seriously can’t believe new threads are still being made about this tick 🍿

Short answer: The curtain is closed for the S550. Marketing & support efforts will be shifted in favor of the S650 going forward.

Also in the Houston area (Cypress!) and came from a 350. Zero regrets. I would have kept both if I could have in a heartbeat, but there’s no comparison.

Cars are not investments. This is a terrible deal without cash on top. Hard pass.

Is this a faux R? To my knowledge, there were no comp orange GT350Rs.

2022, no question. Main reason oil consumption occurs is from improper break in. You’ll know it’s done right if it’s new.

No visual indicators on the car besides the temps themselves. Side note…3+weeks?! Lol what all are you getting done??

I’d love to check out your car sometime also! Just gave you a follow on IG. Beautiful ride. I followed Speed Advocates also. I’m not on FB much or post on IG, but I’ll stay on it for updates!
