So I've seen rumors lately about the Voodoo motor being continued for a few more years which gets me thinking the GT350 nameplate may continue. SO here's a wish list I made up for it. Mind you, most of this will never see production, just wishful thinking. Feel free to add to the list.

One piece carbon fiber drive shaft
More aluminum (Take 100-200 lbs out of it)
Leather Recaros
PANELS THAT FIT TOGETHER!
A bit more power (540-560)
New gauge cluster
Hydraulic steering
No resonators for non R cars
Updated interior

What do y'all think? Add some wish list items to it or take some off. I'd love to see what y'all come up with.

Forged wheel option for non R , and R aero package available as an option on non R. More aluminum would be nice as well( or any additional weight savings for that matter. I'm happy with the power, and the no frills interior on my track pack is just fine with me.

Yep,

The whole allure of this car is pricepoint. Throw in all of that and you are competing with (or decreasing the spread between) more expensive and higher end cars.

Unfortunately hydraulic steering is becoming extinct. If you think about it, it's kind of counterproductive to ask for 100-200lb weight reduction and more power, then add the weight of hyd steering. A pump, hoses, and cooler. Not to mention how much power is consumed by running a pump constantly when it's really not needed 95% of the time

I personally don't think there will be a 2018 GT350. But less weight would be nice and more stripe color options and different wheel style/colors.

I will bet there will be 1more year of the 350 for '18 and the only updates we'll see is sill gaurds...
What i'll be jealous of mostly for the s550 maach1 and gt500, that they do get the updated body panels. Fitment will be 10x better as they know they need to re-engineer that cluster F^xĂ·=!
For the S650, i'm certain it will take on more aluminum, reduced weight and a turbo 6.

A better Stereo in the 350 is a must. My 2014 shaker 500 is better than the 350's.

Who wants an electric parking brake... probably the lamest part of newer cars :shrug:

You don't need more low-end torque if you're in the right gear, which is the lowest possible gear :D

And a tall 6th is the only thing that doesnt make this thing a truck on gas.. not to mention 5th goes to 170, 0 need for an accelerating 6th gear.

Clutch spring is already light as F from the factory, they should make it stiffer like the Steeda spring does, or more similar to the Corvettes clutch which is heavy and very linear/easy to use.

Better audio system definitely would be a nice touch, as a premium standalone option perhaps
