Motor Trend Loves Em Some GT350

Apologize if repost I saw the comparison to 911 (spoiler alert 911 bests the GT350) but amazed at the cars the GT350 beat out. Can't wait for next year to see how the 911/GT500/C8 shootout does.

Several other good articles on best exhaust and 0-60 that flatter the GT350 also.

All that tech and all those go fast features on all those other high dollar monsters and yet there the 'Rustang sits. Just goes to show how much driving has become overrun by posers.

What I am VERY surprised at though is the Supra pulling the gooch end of the pack, even being overtaken by the Redeye and the RMS Continental.

I agree - especially since the Zupra and the M2 comp are virtual twins. I guess this means that Toyota did something different than BMW after all.

Nice to see the GT350 do so well again, its still got it. A few years back the GT350R also finished second, a head of the 991.2 Porsche 911 but behind a McLaren.

Based on looks alone, that Aston Martin DBS Superleggera would be my pick. It's one fine looking car.

The article on Randy's pick is interesting too.

I can't remember where I read it, but some reviews mentioned that.

Toyota tuned parts the car themselves which basically took some of the good from the BMW side out of it, and it's like it wasn't done right. Or didn't jive with the parts BMW dialed in.

Toyota muddled with it enough to change it but needed to do more to make it complete.

Some shit like that lol.

Hard to argue with Randy, what hasn't he driven?

Anyone feel bad for the Supra?

The GT350 did amazing. The only part I might close my eyes, when they eventually reveal it, is the drag race. I predict the GT350 finishes 2nd to last (Supra takes that honor).

My brother just got his M850 last week. Since he ordered it I was telling him he overpaid for a sports car. This article proves it. I'm not gonna show him this article...he's still my older brother and might kick my a**!. GT350s ROCK!

M2C and the Zupr4 both finished behind the Shelby IIRC.

Great showing for the 2019 GT350. Does anyone have a link to the track portion video?

I was curious as to what the Jaguar sounded like since it came in first... and beat the GT350.
I humbly disagree that the exhaust sounds better, but that is just my ears talkin' to me.
The Jaguar does sound pretty good in this video:

where's the video of the drag race?

It’s on MTOD. I signed up for a trial to watch the 2019 GT350 videos.

Edit: Here are the results:

Honestly those 8 Series cars are pretty legit. Yes yes it has a disturbingly high amount of Mustang fastback lines but it's quite a well screwed together package (so far anyway). What makes him overpaying is the fact that since last week, it's now dropped in value by probably 10% and I'm not joking.
