I am fortunate enough to own a 2007 911 Turbo I purchased used about two years ago. Last week I took delivery of my 2017 GT350. They are completely different cars, to be sure, unique in their own ways. For me, the sound of the GT350 is cool and even better with the resonator delete (they were removed Thursday). But to me there is no comparison between the two as drivers cars. The 911's acceleration in all RPMs is much more enjoyable that the natural aspirated V8, which to me certainly seems dead down low. You really need to push the GT350 out to high RPMs to enjoy its power comparably. Seems to me it makes a lot of noise but isn't going anywhere compared to the instant power thrust of the 911TT.I prefer the smaller, lighter 911 for handling as well. The GT350 handles well, for sure, but at in my mind not even close to my 911. They are different driving experiences, to be sure (and that is why I own both), but I'll take my 911TT without hesitation any day of the week over the Shelby. Of course if you were buying a new one, the 911 would be twice the price of the GT350, but bought used at the same price as the Shelby I way prefer the 911TT. Just my 2 cents....and I only have owned the Gt350 for a week....
