Look, we aren't going to agree. But, reading that post, he said what I did. Failed at the track, as EVERY motor running at or near redline will do.Read post fifteen.
LOL at the Mach-E commentThe fact that the voting is so close shows how unique and different the GT350 and GT500 really are.... they are both extremely special cars in their own right.
I'm still of the opinion that asking someone to choose is like asking which of their two kids they like better....
Each kid is going to have their own unique qualities that make them special to a parent in their own way - one might be more athletic while one might be more artistic -
I think of the GT500 and GT350 in very much the same way.......
Im happy for my GT500 brothers when I see one of them beat a supercar in a roll race- just like hopefully GT500 owners are happy when they see the compliments on how much better a GT350 sounds then a Camaro or Challenger or whatever else-
But to say the artistic kid is a worst kid because they dont get as good as grades as the more academically inclined child- or that the more athletic kid is not as good because they cant create something as beautiful as the more artistic child....
Cant we all just get along lol
Edit- I guess keeping with my family analogy- the Mach E would be that second cousin that nobody likes and when they show up to Thanksgiving dinner we are all wondering who was the dumb a&& that invited them??
Not a single stone was thrown. As of today:Umm be careful not to throw stones when it comes to difficulties finding a replacement motor- seems we are all in bad shape on that one... thread just a few posts down with a GT500 owner that cant get an engine either

That's why I spoke to the topic of what the FPRS cars saw. Out of 25 VINs for GT350's, every one had at least one engine replaced. GT500's...zero.I believe they built a lot more GT350s then GT500s - so I would expect the demand for replacement parts to be higher
For a pure track car- I would think the predator would last longer then a voodoo - wont argue that point ...... there is probably some documented guidance somewhere as to how many hours before each motor needs a refresh - and I am guessing the number of hours is much lower for the voodooThat's why I spoke to the topic of what the FPRS cars saw. Out of 25 VINs for GT350's, every one had at least one engine replaced. GT500's...zero.
I have driven tons of GT500s - without extended seat time back to back - its hard to understand.....Seems like a lot of people coming to the defense of the 350. Don't get me wrong the 350 is a great car., But tell me what the 350 does better then the 500 except in engine replacements. I do agree the 350 at peak rpm does sound glorious.
