Look we get it, you couldn't afford a GT350 so to make yourself feel better, you go on a GT350 forum and try to convince owners that they are "stupid" for buying one. Pretty sad really...
Again, reading comprehension, bud. I already said I could've easily afforded a GT350, I personally decided not to get one because it'd be stupid to buy one when I can build something MUCH faster and more durable with the $20k I saved, so it's not envy whatsoever. I actually pity y'all GT350 owners, you paid so much for your car just to get beat by a $40k GT PP2.
Sorry, forgot this is the GT500 section, which makes your posts here even more ridiculous. OK so you are just a troll, thanks for the clarification!
No way!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Funny thing is though, I haven’t said anything negative about the GT500 yet, as everything we know is speculative. My comments have been directed at the GT350. It was a great value when it first came out, but at this point, it’s pointless. It should’ve been discontinued so the PP2 could fill its place to compete with the 1LE and the GT350R should have been the only one still produced.
It is though... the GT350 is 3 seconds off the pace of an R at VIR Grand... the PP2 is 2 seconds off. And again, not the first time I’ve heard that. But if I recall, I’m the one here who’s not name calling and acting high and mighty with the “you’re too poor for an almighty GT350!” type comments, now am I?
The PP2 should have gotten the GT350's aluminum knuckle and radial mount caliper arrangement. Ford had the opportunity to reduce the cost of these components with an economies of scale shift along with even greater performance. Instead, they maintained exclusivity and lessened potential by sticking with the more mundane choices. Looks like they listened to you.
. I feel sorry for those who are unable to hold two differing ideas in their head. There are so many reasons one chooses a certain car, most of which are not speed / $. With these types of cars, it's often ~75% subjective (how driving it makes you feel).
I agree the PP2 should have gotten those, and I feel like it could have if Ford had discontinued the GT350 and only left the R. Probably could've gotten a diff cooler that way, too
I mean, it is, but this isn't the place to dickskuss that. But there's literally not a single thing to like more about the GT350 unless you track it, and that doesn't change the fact that it's slower and nowhere near as good of a value as the PP2. If someone were to say "I just don't like modifying cars and like the way the GT350 feels on track", that would be somewhat respectable. I'd still make them aware that they could modify a GT and have a 10x better car for the same price, but if they're dead set on not modifying their car, then power to themSome people refuse to accept that others have different preferences, requirements from them. The same people that argue that a Mustang GT is a horrible daily driver
Back to GT500...
3 and 2 seconds off where? Comparing laptimes from different tracks? Looking at lap times from a bunch of amateurs from C&D's Lightning Lap? If you believe that crap, i'll show you a video of a Camaro turning faster lap times than a Ford GT and a Spec Miata passing a Ferrari on track.
The looks (best looking mustang IMO), the sound, the handling (on canyons), the reduced depreciation.
Oh, so now same driver same track isn't enough for you, it literally has to be a robot driving both cars at the same exact time with collision mode turned off so that it can be as absolutely precise as possible! It's not hard to see that the PP2 is faster than the GT350... Hell, I'm pretty sure it was this thread where a video was posted of a PP2 passing a GT350 with ease on track
Already addressed all of this, but I'll do it again just for you
Lightning Lap doesn't use the same driver.
I have not seen a GT350 style hood. That's what I hate most about my GT. 2018s are better but still nothing like a GT350 hood.
"amateur drivers" don't just casually set lap records at a track. To think these guys are "amateurs" is pathetic, especially coming from someone who so strongly backs "canyon carving".Lightning Lap doesn't use the same driver.
Who cares what one amateur can do vs another. Like I said, miatas can pass ferraris.
I have not seen a GT350 style hood. That's what I hate most about my GT. 2018s are better but still nothing like a GT350 hood.
PP2 does not put down better numbers. Who said canyon driving has to be reckless? There's nothing wrong with enjoying the better handling traits and character of a car within the speed limits. You don't have to push a car to its limit to feel it.
As I said before; it's not an "investment" rather than a better financial decision to buy a GT350 over a GT. Quit trying to deny that because you just bought a brand new 2018 GT and that goes against your purchasing decision and possibly makes you doubt spending a lot of money on a car that may not have been the best financial decision.
As I said before....take this crap to a different thread. This is a GT500 topic.
