I didn't say you were. You said you weren't sure if the original was worn out and asked for aftermarket options and can't find any. I'm simply pointing out that the factory ones are engineered specifically for the harmonics of the engine, so the OEM would be the way to go.

all the mounts and dampers on GT350 are tuned specifically for the harmonics of the FPC. OEM is the way to go

It would be interesting to see the poll results if asked the other way. Is GT350 an upgrade over GT500?

From what I understand the "hardest" part of the install is removing the belly pan/engine under cover.

Is this the same Dark Horse SC that you said would be 90k despite plenty of evidence to the contrary? While this back and forth is somewhat entertaining, when it comes to member credibility, its not even comparable.

owned both since new and loved both. GT350 far superior in almost every way especially out of the box. Boss needed some modifications for track use, transmission and brakes are not comparable to GT350. GT350 feels more European, and has its own character. IMO still the best looking and sounding...

Ford was right there when the Barret Jackson stuff took off, why spend 100-200k on a 67 GT500 when we got this 2007 model that will blow it away and have many of the same styling cues in a modern vehicle. They are there again with Bronco as the prices of the classics, and even OBS are bringing...

I still say its a missed opportunity to not use SVT Cobra. That era of enthusiast is now entering the sweet spot age wise for disposable income and nostalgia. Just like the Shelby guys when Ford rekindled the Shelby partnership in 2007. They could have waited another decade to try something new...

nobody has any confirmation on this, I would bet they are reusing the GT500 subframes. Perhaps new control arms, but not subframes.

even with all the improvements for track use, this car still shares the fuel tank with GT500 and GTD...

Interesting. When the 2020 GT500 came out all the articles stated the base price was $73,995 which included GG and D&D.... this car actually starts at $108,485 with those included. fuzzy math

now this is a common sense post

2022 GT500 was priced 6k higher for the exact same car than 2020/2021. I mentioned Raptor Vs Raptor R earlier S650 GT and S650 Dark horse are the mostly same as the outgoing S550GT/ Mach 1 and have had MSRP increases so substantial that its a constant topic on 6g and 7g I can't count how many...

Not sure if you follow raptor R prices, but one could follow a similar logic.... Ford, however essentially charges you the $30k for the predator engine on top of the cost of a V6 raptor. Why wouldn't they do it here?

@Epiphany these new S650s use an Electronic Brake Booster and S550 uses vacuum boost, I wonder how that would impact usage on S550 GT500
