The GT350, as advertised, should make the Boss 302 look markedly outclassed, both on the road and on the track. Ford has clearly hit a home run with the GT350. They will sell every unit they build. Carroll Shelby would be extremely proud to have his name on this car.
Wunderschone. Now if they can just get the pricing/standard features/options sheet released so we can fantasize in detail about this gorgeous machine that would be great. Putting it into the build and price widget on the Ford website would be even better. :)
Geeez. On sale next fall. This is starting to sound familiar. So you can order one in May 2015 and take delivery just in time to drive (really fast) to Grandma's house in November for Thanksgiving.
Again with the black wheels. Can't Ford make a freakin' alternative available? Maybe Shelby American will produce some good-looking classic silver-colored rims that will fit the GT350.
Apparently the car in the reveal video is avalanche gray. It doesn't look like glossy primer to me. Of course we can only be certain when we see that color on a live car. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
My prediction for Top Gear UK reactions to the GT350:
Hammond will love it. He will buy one and park it in his front yard.
Clarkson will claim to dislike it at first and will find any number of mildly clever if snide ways of mocking it before driving it and saying he actually likes it - if only...
Honestly, it's hard to guess. However, if Ford is going to be selling the GT350 in all of the markets around the world where they will be selling the Mustang GT then it seems reasonable to guess they'd be aiming at more than 5000 units a year. But what do I know? This is all just gut feeling.
Sorry, Sterl, you lost me there. ;-) Are you saying you think it will have a He-Man themed interior? Honestly, I think a Skeletor look would be a little more badass. :D
I will also be curious to see what Ford does with the interior, beyond what already seems obvious like the Alcantara. Hopefully there are at least one or two significant features unique to the GT350 that will distinguish it from the GTPP.
