Anyone regret getting their GT350?

First off, let me say that I tend to overthink things (sometimes a lot), so perhaps I'm doing that...

I placed an order for a '17 car and I'm wondering if it was the right decision. Does anyone regret picking up their 350? If so, why? I'm coming from a 2004 Cobra that has minor mods (exhaust, suspension, no pulley mods) and I'm curious if anyone here has made a similar move. I'd be especially interested in driving impressions between the two for those who made a similar swap. Understandably, dealers aren't really allowing test drives around here.

Thanks.

I came from a 2.9 whipple 03 Cobra. 6 piston wilwoods, full coil overs, full exhaust, etc..... I don't miss it EVER

If you really like low end torque, the 350 may disappoint. Most people get over it....some can't. I do wish I tried to find an R like others have stated, but the $20K+ price difference is not that appealing.

having come from the 3 previous generations of M3 I can say no regret whatsoever! I was all set to get the new M4 or M2, but when I saw the spy videos of this testing at the Ring I called my friend who happened to own the local Ford dealership and ordered one of the 2 he got for 2016. Ford got everything right. love the look, the steering, the braking, and the engine sound, goodness!

My only regret is that I traded my GB 2013 Boss 302 towards the car. If I had deeper pockets I would have kept the Boss too. Loved that car!

None at all...and if you get a chance to track it, it will make you smile when you are out running cars that cost 3-4 times as much

I haven't driven mine yet. My only regret is that due to my deployment, I wish I could have waited for a 2017 allocation instead of having my wife taking care of my 2016.

Also, I would had gone with the Lightning blue if I had gotten a 2017.

Because of my profession I spend a lot of time travelling (road warrior) therefore I do not get a lot of seat time in my cars.

Having said that I just spent the last 10 days being on vacation and got to spend some much needed seat time in "GR107" and "HR013" and I certainly realized how much I regret not spending more time with these bad boys. Still not taking them over 6500 RPM's yet but certainly know the potential having driven them in Sebring during numerous laps. I need to take more time away from work in order to spend more time with these outstanding automobiles that Ford has designed and built for us Mustang enthusiasts.

With respect to your comment about losing your 2013 Boss 302, I echo your sentiment about these great cars as well and fortunately I was able to keep my Boss cars and can honestly say that I still enjoy driving them just as much as my new Shelby's.

Hopefully you will be in a position very soon to get your old Boss back and if not another replacement Boss. If you have an opportunity I would suggest looking at an LS as they are pretty cool as well. I may let go of one of my LS cars in the near future so stay in touch.

Both the Shelby and Boss cars are outstanding automobiles and I treat them like my children and do not favor one over the other.

Am I thankful to be in this position, you bet and I think about how fortunate and lucky that I am every day with respect to my beautiful family and my corral of ponies.

To the OP, once you set foot in your new GT350 I suggest that any second thoughts or regrets will disappear very quickly and in time your decision will be even more impressive and rewarding!!

A little. My only complaint is limp mode.
I may sell it if I go back to the states.. It's value is wasted on roads with speed limits and it's not as good a street car as a supercharged coyote. It becomes a Rolex.

Just to be clear, I really love this car here.

thanks for your insight. unfortunately I also will be selling my Boss to get the 350, and am worried about missing the Boss. your comments certainly don't help me feel better!

I regret not getting one sooner :headbonk:

Regret not waiting for 2017. Really wish I had convenience and track packs together. I was really concerned I wouldn't be happy since it was top of my budget. Let's just say I laugh every time I drive it, my 5.0 just made me smile.

Just got done reading all the GT500 rumors. Don't care, give me this voodoo any day. GOOD LUCK building another mustang with the road experience this has. I'll take NA 8250 all day over boost.

Nope.
