Buy Lloyd's mats - I just did for my Porsche they are fantastic, very elegant also. So are the ones I saw for the GT350 - very classic looking. 99 bucks.
This. Lost count of how many threads I see GT/Ecoboost cars talking about their issues or giving advice in this section, about all we have in common is headlights which sit 2 inches lower in the body of the GT350. Different animal.
Personally first i've heard of wheel bearing issues...
Yup - a fortune to replace (900 just for the small lower portion covering the fascia if I recall) The rest of the them over the hood are in the thousands.
Racing stripes suit the GT350 well, the iconic shape is brought out more and sort of pops. Looks good without too you've got a great wide stance of a sports car.
I had a friend follow me in my GT350 (white/blue stripe) while I drove the 997 last week. The car has incredible presence on the...
I think the GT350 Track Pack with a 315 rear and 305 up front is the best looking GT350. Obviously carbon fiber wheels are better - I never considered the 30k+ premium worth it though.
I just put Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tires on my stock GT350 Track Pack - incredible grip - leagues better than MPSS - I did a half track day and about 200 miles on the street.
I'm actually not going to do anymore track events this year so if anyone's interested I could let these go for cheap...
Agreed - the author again is clueless about the demographic for the GT350 - it's not your average joe picking these up - most the owners seem to have 3+ high performance cars in the garage and some with Jay Leno size collections.
Supply and demand - the car is worth what people are willing to pay and with the GT350 they're willing to pay BIG because there is nothing like it in production.
The editor needs to take an economics class and brush up on his car knowledge - this is no Pontiac.
Invoice is for the new Corvettes - even steeper discounts (15k+ off MSRP most of them)
The GT350 is a whole different animal especially the purchase process - MSRP is highly unusual - invoice is almost unheard of. Always worth shopping around though.
My local "Fast Lube" oil change shop has far superior service than the Ford dealer - only problem is they don't have a good digital torque wrench for the GT350...
Geezuz i'm dreading this service - I dread any service at the Ford dealer - even an oil change is very risky - probably the one major downside to owning this car.
