If Shelby GT 350 was available in RHD would you buy?

Probably wise, the first 349 will have dodgy panel gaps and leaking oil coolers. :D :lol:
Bingo. Also having #350 of a GT350 would be cool. Also 500 of a GT500 or 550 of a S550 (Not that the CL cars went that high).

If not... 011/350 & 111/350 No particular reason just like that number.

Interesting poll and hopefully Ford are watching ;)

However, I do wonder if the GT350 will live on passed the '18MY. As we know, unlike the GT and Ecoboost, the GT350 is unchanged from the previous years, apart from 2 new colours.

We also know there's a new halo-Stang on the way. Many (including this forum) are calling it the GT500, although there appears to be a few in the know that claim it won't take that name. We don't even know what engine it'll have as reports state everything from a 5.2 cpc Supercharged V8 (probably the most likely) to a 5.2 Twin Turbo.....to a n/a 7.0 V8.

Whatever the next halo-Stang is, I really hope that comes over here (and personally the LHD wouldn't bother me, but strong sales would only come with RHD, I suspect).

I guess only time will tell :)

I'd love a GT500, whichever they bring I will buy it, so hoping we at least get one. GT500 for sure will no doubt be a 65-85k car though I imagine.

I've love a 7.0 NA V8, having driven the Corvette Z06 for a day with its mighty 7l it has to be one of the best engines I've ever experienced, only really trumped by the V10 in the R8 to be honest. As far as NA engines go the R8 V10 and 7l from the Vette are just amazing, brilliant sound and huge power and torque from any point in the RPM band, of course helped in the Vette as it was like only 1400kg.

As I've been beating the drum for the GT350 for a while now I voted no, obviously! ....... :thumbsup:

I require the 'R' with all the bells and whistles please Mr. Barratt. Silver, black roof, black OTT stripes, magneride, active exhaust, carbon wheels. I'll even go for LHD. Please put me on the list straight away :D.

I'd have bought a 350R instead of the GT if it was an option and i'd go out now and buy one if they were available. has to be the R version though not the base.

In yank land ford are restricting supply that much that dealers are just selling them for stupid money and its all markup its not extra services/features/fittings etc just pure mark up because they know people would pay it.

Since our dealers work slightly differently over here they wouldn't get away with a ford list price of 65k then selling at 100k+ but in the 70k bracket for a 350R would be about right any higher and you risk getting close to things that would destroy it.

I'm sure I heard/read somewhere rumours that the GT350 might possibly run right through to MY20? .... or maybe I imagined it? Anyway, I'm sure the a 5.2 supercharged GT500 would be awesome. But no FPC from what I understand, which means it would probably be a 'no' from me but never say never, and it would be great to actually get the choice here in the UK.

If it doesn't get th eMY18 update, which it don't look like it will.. That's possible. Although expect a GT500 to land some point in 2019.

the "My20" is because My21 will be the s650.

Voted yes.

Not ready to change just yet but in a year or so, if the GT350 came out in UK in RHD I would be up for it.

It does until it nearly puts you in the wall. :p

Yep how I would love Mustangs to come with BMW's M-DCT box, fucking work of art that gearbox with its separate logic that can be set independent to anything else in the car with 6 speed settings.

Hoping the 10-speed is somewhat similar.

Crazy idea perhaps, but how difficult would it be to convert a GT350 to RHD. You could use off the shelf parts for a lot of it, although imagine you'd need custom headers to accommodate the steering column.
