Excited to join the Shelby family with my GT350R

[viper11511]

I picked up this new to me 2017 GT350R a couple weeks ago. Just a tick over 1,000 miles I look forward to putting on many more! So far the experience has been nothing short of amazing. It really checks all the boxes for me. I have gone to the garage just to fire up and hear that cold start no less than a dozen times. Intoxicating sound! My last few toys have shifted on their own. Rowing the gears was missed more than I ever thought it would be. Happy to be a part of the Shelby club of great enthusiasts!

Thanks for the welcoming message! The white stripes look great against the red! Adding to potential mod list! Thanks again!

I bought my 18 GT350 back in November and I have owned tons of sports cars but never a Mustang. I can tell you this car is very special. I never get tired driving it because nothing sounds this good or is as fun to drive while still being very practical.

I had a Ferrari 355 and I have to say I like the sound of this a little better. It has a little deeper tone to it which appeals to me. Plus I don't have to hold my breath as much every time I fire it up hoping nothing is going to break! Haha!

CONGRATS!!! She is beautiful and one of the IMHO one of the greatest cars ever made. Soon manual N/A cars like this will be gone. Strong move. I was talking to a friend about this the other day. If you watch literally any video about a GT350 or read any article they are always rave reviews and high praise. A lot of folks who drove them when they first came out for press reviews "had to have one". That is rare in this day in age for a car to consistently receive such high marks with so much competition. It's truly a special vehicle.

Congrats Viper and welcome to the club.

Very nice. All these folks picking up super low mileage examples make me think I should've shopped a little harder before going new. Depreciation buys a ton of preventative maintenance, tires, and mods, not that it needs them.

Also, red stripe delete R might be my new leader in the clubhouse for color combo. Very sharp.

How are you liking the resonator-free exhaust? Okay for long jaunts?

With exhaust mode in normal, it's just fine for long road trips.

Thank you for the welcome and insight into the car. So far it has exceeded all my expectations! Really like the blue with white stripes in you! Classic combination!

Thank you!! I must say the red on this car is pretty striking! Hard to ever beat Blue though!! No long jaunts so far so really can't provide feedback on that. I tend to enjoy loud music and loud cars so shouldn't be an issue, to me at least. Ha!
