That's incorrect. Parts on the GT350 are different than that on GT, they're outperform GT parts. Not to mention engine. Maybe "Shelby" brand is a part of the price in GT350 and GT500(not sure need to be verify) but not 10K as you indicated, it's miniscule. I think you all over the place and need to calm down.

i respond to the comments directed at me. I agree, the topics are "all over the place" in response to my opinion of the gt350 not being for me and not something i would recommend to someone that seems to care about a backseat.

my 10k was an approximation and i took off some of the price difference of parts to reach that approximation. If you dont think you pay anything for the name then idk what to tell you. that said..yes there are improvements over the gt. I have never refuted that so again..people argue with points that were never made.

You don't have to answer to every reply with incorrect information.

sorry you deem my opinions as incorrect information. again, idk what to tell ya.

"the new ones, not impressed. maybe OP will be.
but it still doesnt make it practical for a family, hence the recommendations from myself and others for something more roomy. the 7 year old daughter will only get taller. "

^ is what started this long parade of people being butthurt. what incorrect information did i put? where did i try to get OP to get a camaro? where did i say the gt350 is inferior to the gt? All arguments (that didnt even respond to any remote idea of what i said) brought upon by yall not being happy about an opinion. Yet IM the simple minded one i always believe people respond with demeaning remarks towards others when they dont have the wit to respond otherwise. (thats not directed at you per say)

I said i test drove a couple gt350..or did you not read that? I didnt care for it at all over a "regular" mustang. Read more next time.

I now own a ss 1le that competes with the 350/r around a track so you completely missed the point. By your logic i wouldn't own this car either. I also never mentioned my gt competing with the gt350 around a track, so you are arguing with yourself at this point and looking silly doing so.

Try again

I suggest that you maybe reread your own post whereby you originally stated that you test drove "a few" GT350's and now you go on to contradict yourself with another post say you test drove " a couple" of GT350's therefore which is it?

It is obvious you that you are missing the whole point of the GT350 and that is centered around the exhilarating driving experience that the Shelby GT350 provides with respect to outstanding steering, braking, handling and of course comes equipped with a high revving NA FPC engine and a manual transmission much unlike your automatic transmission and supercharged 5.0 Mustang GT.

Do yourself a favor and get to a road course whereby you can test drive a GT350 and a 2018 Mustang GT back to back and then tell me that the added expense for a GT350 cannot be totally justified as it is obvious that you are in the minority by a long shot.

As far as your Camaro SS 1LE competing with a GT350R on the track I suggest that after that comment you need to move back to the Camaro forum.

Did you ever take your 2018 Mustang GT or have you taken your new Camaro to a road course?

PS: I suggest that you maybe update your profile as it suggests that you are still a 2018 Mustang GT owner when in fact it is my understanding that you sold that car and have moved on to a better and much cheaper Camaro SS 1LE.

we are calling technicalities on a few vs a couple now? is that what your argument has dwindled down to? lmao. some of yall said the decision on the gt350 would be made after driving one, i said i disagreed and have driven them. one or a million. i still disagree. now your argument is about how many ive driven or how many times? which is it? test driving it once or a million times? what is the magic number that will make someone say "ahhh, yes. now i see". saying "a couple" vs "a few" isn't a contradiction. a few means not many, but more than one. or even a small number of something. FYI. the typical belief of "3 or more" isnt correct in a dictionary or by any test metric.

again you are arguing supercharged gt vs gt350 in something i NEVER said at all. you are STILL arguing with yourself and its rather funny.

ill make it easy for you. I know a gt350 is built for the track, for the price of it in MY OPINION, it is not worth it. If you really want to get technical im sure people on this forum have said you can buy a base gt and build it to beat a gt350 around a track for cheaper. but since you still seem to not be able to wrap your head around this idea and still argue something i never even said for god knows what reason..i CLEARLY didnt build the gt for track use. hence the supercharger and drag radials. that said, are you a good enough driver to fully maximize your gt350s potential? how much more so can you over a gt? how about other drivers? this rabbit hole can go deaper. But again, we are arguing about something i never said so i really dont understand your logic.

if you dont think an ss 1le camaro competes with the gt350 around a track, you should do more research. especially for the price. i never said the price of the gt350 isnt justified, i said its not justified FOR ME. what is your problem with picking words to fit your narrative?

"better" depends on the person. what is better to me might not be better to you. i can accept that, you clearly cannot. your arguments are weak.

You reminded me of a migraine. Go and reread your countless post in this thread that you forgot what you posted. I think you enjoy trolling this forum.

ive already read my posts multiple times because people keep arguing with things i never said. almost all of my replies have been opinion based and were even annotated as "in my opinion" or colloquially as "IMO"

i think you are butthurt. but its ok, we can agree to disagree. Are you a big enough person to do that and accept someone elses opinion? or is someone not wanting your car inherently a troll?

Everyone is entitled to they opinion, but you are abusing the privilege.

 

[Adamone92]

Everyone is entitled to they opinion, but you are abusing the privilege.

not when people refuse to accept that others do HAVE an opinion. especially when such topics resort to demeaning language towards said person. I'd be interested to know what constitutes abuse of an opinion in this spectrum, but at the same time don't personally care.

I've had people private message me saying they agree with what i am saying in this thread and don't care for the way some of y'all are responding. even apologizing for some of you. But I'm sure you're right. I try to remain respectful in my responses and can respect other opinions when presented in a mature way. Some of you cannot and it's funny; especially considering the age of some people in here. We aren't in middle school.

if you dont like what i say, block me. doesn't bother me one bit.

Good Idea. Done. I think I'm last who took your advise.

Again I suggest that you reread your post whereby you suggested that your Camaro SS 1LE will stay with an R model on a road course or did I read your post wrong again as well!

As myself and many other members have indicated the only thing that is funny is your continued denial of facts such as your SS 1LE being as fast as a GT350R on a road course and how the GT350 is so over priced.

Why do you think that the Camaro model continues to lag behind the GT350/R year after year in sales and that is because the GT350/R is that good and people are willing to pay with it is worth whereas if someone wants a lesser car they can revert to the much cheaper priced Camaro which you have chosen to do.

BTW, I still suggest that you need to list your Camaro SS 1LE as your present car of ownership profile since you sold your 2018 Mustang GT or is there a reason for not changing that pertinent information while you are on a Mustang forum?

One of the things you will likely never get from the Camaro or challenger is an engine that can rev to 8k safely.

Winding out the gears vs hitting the rev limiter at 6200. The technology in the coyote light years ahead of the Camaro and the proof of that the Camaro needs 20% more displacement to get similar power. Then there is the pushrod. That tells it all.

Did the o/p say he was nak'd to Ford or, new to Ford. Can't find my reading glasses ..............

 

[joe603]

Wow....lol Sorry I stirred up the pot! I get it...I was on the side that would sling insults to the Ford guys at one point. But, usually in good fun. I worked with a guy who put a 5.0 engine in an older bronco. He had his Chevy slang...and I had the typical Ford acronyms. But, the same guy helped me put in a shift kit and headers on my 97 LT1 firebird formula.

I think a lot of my decision is actually not my decision...my wife REALLY hates the Camaro's styling and loves the Shelby, so maybe she's more "comfortable" sitting in the GT350. Honestly, fine with me. I'm just looking for a 6MT, V8 sports car...not many choices. I had a 2012 Challenger SRT8 and currently drive a 2016 Charger SCAT Pack (same engine as my old Challenger). But they were both auto, as is the new GT500. So, here I am.

Now, I hadn't considered Roush on a GT...are they around the same price as the GT350? I love the sound of the flat-plane 5.2...but that supercharger wine is also musical!
