Which wins the “coolest looks” contest-Mach 1 or GT350?

[S550 HPP]

And while Shelbys and Machs are both good looking cars...I think the Bullitt out classes them, I may be a bit biased though.

I agree, but I did not like the dog dish on the back between the lights and the steering wheel. No badging would have been the best. But that is just me.

Love the Mach 1 HP wheels, but I think the coke bottle shape of the 350's with the front fenders and aggressive front bumper wins. The GT500 isn't bad, but the sharp angles just don't do it for me.

You can't go wrong with any of these. But having grown up digging the 66 GT350s since I was little--had to go with the Heritage vibe.

They all look great. But If I had to choose…
#1- 350
#2- M1 PP then HP.
#3- 500
#4- 15-17
There are days I like the 15-17 more than the GT500 which seems a bit overdone to me. Not to insult 500 owners of course, just personal preference.

Holly Shit, I need this in my garage next to Mach 1! That's a awesome color works great with the car. One of the things I enjoy about the Mach 1 HP Fighter Jet Gray is the contrast of colors, just like this one.

500 has the best front end followed by 350 by a hair over Mach 1. I like the 350 side vent too. I don't like large spoilers so I like the low profile Mach 1/PP2 wing more so than the big gurney flap/spoiler options on the 350/500 which really only adds to aero performance at rather high speeds.

clearly biased here…but a 350R with no stripes and the original wing (not the swing or the g-string that @TonyNJ posted) wins hands down for me

I DO like the M1 HP wheels though, but I will never give up my CFs

First... I have never seen a bad looking S550 from the factory... I do love the HP Mach 1 wheels... in fact the HP Mach 1 is a very beautiful car ...GT500 CFTP vs GT350R is a tough one... I like both equally... also really like the PP1 cars.... I think the fenders are what pushes me toward my car

 

[Silver Bullitt]

My vote would go for the 350 overall.

I still think the PP2 wheels were the best looking factory wheels ever on a Mustang even if Ford could have done a little better on the offsets. The Mach 1 HP wheels are just a little busy for me.

All S550 look the same, from Ecoboost to GT500, with tiny differences. What is this topic even about, another Shelby vs Mach, lol. The small changes to front mask and rear diffusor of GT350, GT500 and Mach 1 make it look best of them all, but between GT350 and Mach 1 there's barely any difference in the front and between GT500 and Mach 1 in the rear, sides are the same for all, wheels are always a matter of taste.

GT350 is better looking… sorry Mach guys.

Definitely. They have better stripes and no fake fog lights. The rest is the same.

As a former 350 and 350r owner and current '22 500 owner, I personally think a handling package mach 1 would be the best looking if you removed all the stickers and just compared the actual looks of the car itself. Mach is killing the 350 in the wheel game too. Zero comparison there.

The GT350/R simply for the fact that it comes in Ford Performance Blue.

Otherwise, my eyeballs gravitate to the Mach, which is why that's what I have.

If I could have found a new or like new FBP 350R, stretched out the Ford warranty for ten years, with a maintenance plan, I'd have gotten that in a heartbeat.

The 350 suffered some of the worst wheel designs and having them all just end up painted black was a terrible decision.

That being said the R wheels are among my favorites when someone takes the time to strip the paint and expose the carbon underneath.
