this^^ describes my delimma: fully loaded velocity blue, MT, HP, Mach 1 vs Tech Pkg '20 (1 owner) GT350 (immediately available). Once I heard the 350 engine and drove it, I chose the 350, and it's my is daily-driver. @OP, whatever your choice, enjoy it!
Suggest that you go back and reread your original post as it was clearly centered around the possibly of purchasing a virtually brand new 2016 GT350 after which time many experienced and knowledgeable members provided you with their thoughts on that car.
I've done nothing but say it's good. You just seem wishy washy and impatient. Burning others time for a choice already made. It's like we couldn't satisfy you. You want me to say this?: The Mach will never be a GT350. It's a parts bin car... Or did you want everyone in the GT350 group to explain how they wish they had waited for a Mach 1 because it's such a better deal? Good luck with that!
thanks for your continued wisdom. As always. Am I going to follow your lines at Sonoma end of this month with SAAC?
for SHAME! Pitt Race is right there!
2018 GT350, 1200 miles Ruby was 48k ask in summer of 2019. New -Rs were being sold for 5-7000 off the showroom floor during the spring and into the summer.
Sooo if paid $$$$ and it goes up in value? Am I driving a free Hi-Performance GT350R? Hagerty did their due diligence had a meeting came came up with a 99,000 replacement for my GT350R. Harry, your HEP is up 20k over what the MSRP Was , or more. Congratulations.Suggest that you go back and reread your original post as it was clearly centered around the possibly of purchasing a virtually brand new 2016 GT350 after which time many experienced and knowledgeable members provided you with their thoughts on that car.
If you wanted feedback from us experienced GT350 owners with respect to a possible engine failure, oil consumption, warranty risk and other possible issues I certainly did not get that from your post and it seemed that everything centered around your interest in the 465 mile 2016 GT350 that was for sale.
FWIW, I have had numerous GT350/R's and have never had an oil consumption issue or an engine failures and have aggressively driven every one of them including my 2015 GT350 Tech Pack car which has close to 14,000 miles on it and is an outstanding vehicle to drive peacefully or aggressively whichever comes first.
Going forward I would suggest that something for you to keep in mind is the future resale value of your 2021 Mach 1 sometime down the road versus a GT350/R from any of the 6 model years.
You can bet that 2 to 5 years from now or even longer that the resale value of your 2021 Mach 1 will depreciate very quickly compared to a 2nd generation GT350 therefore that is something that is always good to keep in mind from a value standpoint.
Good luck with your new Mach 1 and hope that it shows up sooner than later!!
I’m glad I got mine . Now for some front PPF so it stays handsome!
I say this because the tech trans and diff had no coolers. This lead to many non track limp mode issues and it would be very expensive to add a new trans and diff coolers to oem spec. Yes, there were aftermarket cooling designs, but they were half ass fixes that were mot as good as the oem track pack equivalent.
nothing goes up in value until the buyer's check clears. Anything else is conjecture and wishful thinking.
correct ; my last Shelby buyer’s checks cleared and it went up 128,000.00 from what I had into it . “ wishful thinking and conjecture ? Please be nice
Most tech/base 2016 owners haven't had any troubles. Persistent high RPMs push the temps, and unless you plan on going to jail, not happening on regular roads. (yes, I'm know there have been exceptions, but it's atypical)
Oh, ok.... i guess I don't know what I'm talking about. Before I go, there is a reason that ford made it mandatory for trans and diff coolers on 17 and above.
