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

[Donkey]

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.

I was fortunate enough to see one of the test mules at Mid Ohio back in 2016. I believe the car was a 500 mule. It belonged to an engineer at Ford (Jeff Grauer) it had exposed carbon 350r wheels and they did look much better. The carbon wheels all suffer from design limitations due to their production process which all makes them somewhat boring IMHO.

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.

Thanks for the vote on the Performance Blue!.

In 1965-1967 Shelby GT's arrived at the dealer's without any Le Mans stripes and stripes were installed as a dealer option, so I'm not sure if it would piss him off or not.

Hey, I went to this show. I'll post up a few more pictures of these 2 beauties in a sec for you!

Bonus pics at the end of a few other stangs that were there.

Also forgot to toss in my 2¢. I honestly can't really say which I feel looks best. I really love all variants of the s550 model. The one I purchased was a 21 Mach 1 in FJG which I feel is a very unique color with the orange pinstriping decals/orange calipers which really kind've help it pop a bit. I originally wanted to go with Twister Orange and still kind've wish I would have but FJG had enough orange on it to make me happy.

I really love the front end on the Mach 1 a lot, although I do also love the 350/500 front end and side skirts as well. It's just not possible for me to go off aesthetics alone which would push me to go 500>Mach1>350. I love how much more aggressive the 500/350 look in the front end. I am probably somewhat biased but have never had the opportunity to drive or ride in a 350 so that could change my opinion if I get the chance. I'd definitely have gotten a 500/350 in Twister Orange if I could followed by the heritage colors.

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.

Love the orange in the headlights! Been contemplating switch back to the oem headlights from the morimoto and doing the painted inners.

I actually had an opportunity to model the Morimoto units on my car for marketing purposes and just couldn't bring myself to make the change. Had mine done by a buddy who specializes in this exact type of upgrade on Mustangs and other cars out of South Carolina.

I have held out from getting in this debate, but everyone of you have missed the best form of style, form, and function. This beast has everything: GT-350 hood lines, Gt-500 front bumper and winglets, the Mach 1 HP staggered wheels, Mach 1 coolers, and the dork horse rear lights.

This power plant is ready to take on the world!

As most of you know this post is 100% bullshit, I was laughing the whole time, trying to compliment this POS. That being said, all S550's look better than the new ones and this marketing ploy with a cool name.

Laugh now, wait until steeda comes out with HP capacitors that will rocket that pos from zero to 60 in 2 seconds. Only one problem. That smell is the motor windings burning up. :-)

Maybe, but I just can’t make myself care how fast it is, even a little bit.

Don‘t get me wrong, I think there’s a place and time for EVs. It’s just on a golf course.

LOL. Sitting on the clubhouse patio having a post-round beer and seeing someone driving up 18 fairway in a Mach-E would be hilariously awesome

On the day this picture was taken we were on our way home from the dealership and a Scat Pack pulled beside me at a redlight and was revving so I punched my golf cart truck and out launched him with a 4000 lb. GT500 behind the truck. He followed me into a Walmart parking lot and asked what I had in the truck and I responded, "Its a Hemi" and he drove off.

I am going to have to toss my vote for the GT350R mainly because of the fenders. The unique wing and CF wheels also help the aesthetics. We are really splitting hairs between 3 awesome looking cars.

Thanks, I’m good for a laugh and sarcasm every now and then.
