  1. Official 2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang Press Release, Specifications, Photos & Videos

    Man, that hurts, lol. “No horsepower79”. But, I’m telling you, even the L82 Corvette maxed at 225hp, and the W72/WS6 400ci 79’ TA was a bit quicker (much higher torque, 335 lb/ft IIRC). They were a blast to race on the street! My comparison was basically how good we have it right now. People...
  2. Official 2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang Press Release, Specifications, Photos & Videos

    It’s all relative. 220hp felt fast, then. You pretty much ruled the streets. Aftermarket was limited to tiny ads in the back of Hot Rod magazine. Damn, I guess I’m getting old.
  3. Official 2020 Shelby GT500 Mustang Press Release, Specifications, Photos & Videos

    I was wrong on the transmission, no way did I expect Ford to put a DCT into any mustang, especially with the fantastic 10 speed auto available. Having said that, my 991 Porsche Turbo S has PDK, which is a DCT transmission. And, it’s fantastic. Keeps the turbos at full boil during shifts. A...
  4. Quick Jack 5000 at Costco

    I've had a set for several months. I can't believe how bad ass these are. I'd never use a jack stand again.
  5. Why did you sell your GT350?

    I think it's pretty cool the GT350 is being discussed along with certain Porsche models. That speaks well for this model mustang. My GT350 was perfect, no issues. I do admit I was a little worried about it's long term reliability, but that's not why I sold it. It was just too track focused, and...
  6. Why did you sell your GT350?

    Hmm. Well, I’ve never owned a Mustang, particularly one that cost $65k. I wrote off the cheap interior as not that big a deal because of the higher end performance hardware. I sold a 335i MSport to buy the GT350, and while it had obviously higher quality materials, it was a little spartan. But...
  7. Why did you sell your GT350?

    While the interior is a little cheap, I had thought Ford had a decent rep for quality. While mine never had any issues, I admit I became a little worried by the stories I read here about poor quality.
  8. Why did you sell your GT350?

    Traded mine in on a Porsche Turbo S. Nothing was wrong with it. Absolutely nothing. Where the GT350 comes alive is the track, and I don’t track my cars. On the street, besides being the best looking mustang ever, it’s just a quick mustang that can be beaten by many other cars. Including a base...
  9. About to but new GT 350- should I do it?

    The GT350 is simply the best Mustang ever built. I'd never own a regular GT, I see a million of them every day, usually driven by high school kids. But, not the GT350. Besides being FAR better looking of a car, it has real hardware.
  10. How far should we upgrade?

    I’m not really comparing the Porsche to the GT350, but to the GT-R, which after a couple of launches will go into limp mode (the OP was contemplating both of those alternatives). Though, the GT350 would likely suffer clutch failure long before reaching 50 full launches in a row. But, yeah I...
  11. How far should we upgrade?

    50 launches in a row, no limp mode, same performance each time.
  12. Sold my GT350

    I was torn on color, but decided to find the best example I could find first, and live with whatever color it was. Well, except yellow. lol But, I'm really liking silver now, first silver car I've ever owned.
  13. Sold my GT350

    $48k, but they came off $8k on the Porsche, and I saved $3,300 on taxes.
  14. Sold my GT350

    GT3 is a very light car, 3,000lbs, I think. That’s a very nice one, I think I’d get it!
  15. Sold my GT350

    Thanks. Do it.
  16. How far should we upgrade?

    Get the Turbo S. Absolute rock solid reliability (search YouTube, there’s a video of someone doing launch control 50 or 100 times without issue). I just bought a 991 Turbo S and you’ll never look back. Forget the GTR.
  17. Sold my GT350

    Yeah, I sold it. Well, I traded it in. There was nothing wrong with it, in fact, it is a great car. No quality issues, panels aligned great, paint great, no oil consumption, ran hard, etc. This car dominates on a track, it all comes together there. But, I don't track it and never will. It's...
  18. GT350 Sold: 2017 GT350 Lightening Blue FS

    This car is a no story, no history, no track, no paint work car. 8,841 miles. Clear bra paint protection on nose, partial hood and front fenders, lower doors and rear wheel flare. JBL Stealthbox with 400 amp. This mod alone drastically improved the quality of the factory stereo (which remains...
  19. How many of you don't consume oil?

    Mine used a very minor amount until 5500 miles, then it dropped to near zero. 8800 miles. 2017, built April 2017. Never tracked.
