I hate auto correct. Good Luck

I've only driven mine 500 miles and I've already had this thought flash through the ole brain...but, i love the way this car hugs the road. So why not just keep it and add a little power? For me, the warranty will likely keep me from it...others may be in a better situation where that's not a concern.Keep the GT350 stock, drive it around and enjoy it, then when the new GT500 comes out, trade up for that.
My recommendation. Sign up for Track Attack. Then after your ride along on the Hot Laps with your instructor, if you feel you need more power, go for it. But in my opinion. This car needs nothing, other than a very competent pilot at the wheel, unless you are looking for a drag car. The extra power would do little to lower lap times, compared to a professional driver. And I have track experience.Just got my 2017 GT350...
So this car feels a little under-powered to me, especially on the low-end torque side. However, it does everything else so well I still had to have it.
That's actually a very interesting solution. I'm not going to go that route, but you certainly gets points for originality!Leave the car as it is and lease a Hellcat for $600 a month for 3 years. Keep the warranty on the Shelby and the drive it like you stole it!!! With supporting mods and install etc the procharger kit will probably will cost you 12-13k (I might be wrong on this but probably close). Hellcat will cost you around 21k excluding running cost but you would have 2 amazing cars.
Thanks for the info. My son goes to school and plays football in Indy, so I'm there all the time. I'll check them out!You know, May is a perfect month for a road trip from St. Louis to Indy. While you're here, swing by the shop in the thread below and talk to them about your options. They can pretty much build you whatever you want in terms of forced induction, if that's how you want to go, and just look at the quality of their work! (I have no affiliation whatsoever with these guys, I just know that "Fathouse" has come a LONG way since the days of street legal drags at Indianapolis Raceway Park in the early 2000's, where I first met him, and he's built an impressive reputation for quality.)

I agree. I don't even have a Mustang any longer but I still hang here because everyone is so helpful. Not like a LOT of the other car forums around.Thanks for all the input guys. Unlike most forums the people on here actually seem like the know what they're talking about.
I think I'm going to take most of your advice and I'm going to keep it NA. However, it's impossible for me to keep the car stock (just a sickness I have). So I guess I'll start researching the some other options.
One other question... I was ok with voiding the warranty for an extra 250hp with a SC, but I'm not sure I'm ok voiding it for an extra 35hp from a intake, exhaust and tune combo. Are you guys messing with the intake and tune on this car at all? And I'd love some suggestions on what fun mods I could make to this car.
