  1. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Understand but you have to agree that the additional weight of a supercharger along with the 6 heat exchangers added a great deal of extra weight to the engine compartment V a NA GT350R.
  2. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Totally agree that adding comfort features always increases weight and cost to any Mustang let alone the heavy 3rd Gen GT500. With respect to somehow making a GT500 some 150-200 pounds lighter than a GT350R, that could have never happened based mostly on the fact that the GT500 comes equipped...
  3. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Totally agreed that the curb weight of your 2-seat and also of the 4-seat 3rd Gen GT500 examples are certainly overweight. Was fortunate to own a few GT350R Base models and suggest that the curb weight difference between your GT500 CFTP unit and a Base R model are some ~575 pounds with a great...
  4. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Aside from performance have you ever experienced the DCT in a 3rd Gen GT500 when down shifting in comparison to the PDK transmission? Like day and night with the DCT often sounding and feeling clunky on downshifts in comparison to the smooth, silky and quiet PDK.

    Each to their own and I will remain with my definition of what constitutes a DCT transmission which operates as an automatic transmission but is neither a manual or automatic transmission.
  6. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Based on my experience after driving various Porsche models, I would consider the PDK a more refined and better transmission especially when it comes to daily driving and in particular smoother downshifts.
  7. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    The Tremec TR-9070 7-Speed DCT that comes standard in the 3rd Gen Mustang Shelby GT500 models is neither an automatic transmission nor is it a manual transmission, but it does operate as an automatic transmission with 2 separate gearboxes inside one casing unit. When driving the most recent...
  8. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Nice looking CS and like the idea of the Pilot Super Sports with a square set up and some very cool modifications to go with that! My PW 2012 Boss 302 was chassis "PP0002" and it was the first 4-seat Pilot Production example built for the 2012 MY and was built back in October 2010 at the FRAP...
  9. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    These were not option packages as much as they were unique high-performance "engines" that Ford developed for road racing, drag racing and customer use with a great deal of R&D being spent on them. Suggest that you were not around when the Boss 302 and Boss 429 engines were launched back in the...
  10. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Really! You never heard of the 2-year run of the 1st Gen 1969/1970 Boss 302/Boss 429 cars or maybe the 1-year run of the Boss 351 model? How about 1-year run of the 1993 and/or the 2000 Mustang Cobra R models? Or how about the 2-year run of the 2012/2013 Mustang Boss 302/LS?
  11. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    With respect to getting an extended warranty for what, a possible replacement FPC engine that doesn't exist? Suggest that you need to do more research as many of your comments are so far off base they are hilarious such as using up to a quart of oil over 1,000 miles. At the end of the day your...
  12. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    Gotta love some of these GT350/R none owners who decide to come on to this forum after which time they decide to help us understand what we have all been missing for the last ~11 years? If this last generation of Mustang Shelby GT350/R models were such a disaster, why would the present values...
  13. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    The only thing comical here is some of your responses and how wound up you look on this GT350 forum especially when taking into consideration you have never had any skin but seem to have all of the answers for us previous and present GT350/R owners! Still waiting for your reply to my earlier...
  14. Poll: Is a GT500 an upgrade over a GT350?

    It was just over 11 years ago that I ordered a 2015 Shelby GT350 Track Pack car (F0077) in Shadow Black and 2 months later I ordered a 2016 Shelby GT350R (GR107) Base model in Shadow black and just a few months after that I was able to order a 2017 Shelby GT350R (HR019) Base model in Ruby Red...

    Just a waste of time and effort when responding back to another troll. :wink:
