Oddly, I have been passed by a surprising number of Prius owners while rolling along at the speed limit in a Mustang - not only are the Prius owners driving an ugly foreign car, but they have the courage to pass a high performance Mustang with a $500+ radar detector sitting on the dash. I...

You could very well see very different consumable estimates depending on how people drive. I will offer you a bit of a comparison between my 2011 GT automatic (with stock 3.15 rear) and 2017 GT350 (with stock 3.73 rear). Both cars turn roughly 2,000 RPM at 70 MPH. The 2011 GT has roughly 48,800...

There is nothing wrong with dreaming about owning a GT350. Yes, "the looks, the engine, the handling, that wonderful exhaust note," the GT350 has all of that in spades. I thought that I wanted a 2013 GT500 badly when its 662HP engine was announced, then I started wondering where could I...

Lightning blue with black roof - this color shifts a bit with changes in the angle of the sun (some of the pictures show hints of both grabber and kona blue). First three pictures show the car in the evening sun, last was taken on an overcast early afternoon day.

I do not see the GT350 as being overkill as a daily driver, but it certainly will not be as cost effective of a daily driver as a Mustang GT. It is definitely a bit less stressful daily driving and road tripping a Mustang GT than a GT350; I never had a concern/problem taking the GT down any...

GT350 without over the top stripe

There is a potential risk of confusion when stating "Shelby" - the Shelby American GTE (or whatever it is called) is an aftermarket modification to a Mustang GT. The (Shelby) GT350 on the other hand, only has the Shelby name across the front splitter, on the paperwork attached to the window...

Here is what I paid for the three radar detectors that I mentioned, rounded to the closest dollar: Escort Passport 9500ix $455 (2010) Beltronics V940 Vector $135 (2010) Escort Max 360 $643 (2016) The Escort Max 360 was not significantly more expensive than the Escort Passport 9500ix was in...

In 2010 I bought an Escort Passport 9500ix and a Beltronics V940 Vector to go into a 2011 Mustang GT that I had on order. When the 2011 Mustang GT arrived I put the Escort Passport 9500ix in the car on a bean bag mount that sits on the dash, and never took the Beltronics out of the box - it...

Lightning blue with a black roof. A few of the reasons why I ordered without stripes: I thought that stripes looked nice on Shelby GT500 cars a few years ago - then I researched the reason why cars were originally painted with stripes, and somewhat lost interest. If there are that many...

My 2011 GT automatic with 3.15 rear gears has averaged 27 MPG for the first 46,000 miles, and managed 31.3 MPG on a 3,100 mile cruise a few years ago. The 2011 GT turns 2,000 RPM at 70 MPH in 6th gear. Surprisingly, my 2017 GT350 with 3.73 gears also turns 2,000 RPM at 70 MPH in 6th gear. So...

Attached are pictured taken of my 2011 GT and my 2017 GT350 at 12 miles to empty (for the GT350, I was about a mile from the gas station at the time of the picture, so it was 12 MTE at fill up). 14.439 gallons were required to fill up the 2011 GT for this tank, and with a hand-calculated...

I thought that I would post a few pictures that compare the side view of my 2011 Mustang GT with the side view of my 2017 GT350, along with a standing height front quarter profile. In my opinion, these are the best angles of the 2011-2012 - slightly different angle from a greater distance, and...

I own a 2011 GT automatic with the premium interior, navigation, and HID headlights. The car has been flawless in the six years I have owned the car and the 48,000+ miles I put on it, although I still need to have the airbag swapped for the recall. The original 235 P Zero Nero tires were...

The picture that I have of the front of my GT350 in the service bay shows a roughly license plate size piece of protective film in the center of the front bumper, with a roughly 6 inch long bit of possibly 1/2 inch thick by 1 inch wide foam in the center. You might as well just have the dealer...

I took pictures of my lightning blue GT350 shortly after it was driven into the dealership service bay for the first time. It appears that only the plastic over the steering wheel was removed at that time the attached pictures were taken. Lightning blue with the black roof looks great when...
