  1. Turn on the Loud Button as you Drive Away - A Love Story

    As I watched my Shelby GT350 drive away for the last time, I asked if the new buyer could put on the loud button. Fortunately he had to turn around to get out of the tract, so I got to see and hear the car coming and going one last time. "Damn what a good looking car", I exclaimed. I have/ had...
  2. 2017 GT350 Value? Thinking of selling.

    It feels strange to be writing this. My GT350 has always seemed like a keeper, but I really don't use it very much, so I am considering selling. Last year I purchased a 2017 Suzuki GSXR-1000 and this has been my go to toy. While I love looking at the GT350, I kind of don't want to put on the...
  3. Oil Consumption Getting Better as Miles Pile up??

    I have 17k miles on my 2017 GT350. My records show that in the first 10k miles my oil consumption was about 1 quart every 2k miles. But in the last 4,500 miles my records show that I have used less than a quart of oil (maybe about 12 oz) and I have cleared about 4 oz from the passenger catch...
  4. Alignment Bad from Factory?

    At about 15,000 miles on the car with the original tires, I noticed that the driver side front tire on the inside is completely worn through with fabric showing. These are the original tires. The rears are just starting to get to the wear bars. I was expecting to replace the rears first. Now it...
  5. Motorcycle vs Car for Long Distance Travel

    I just took my motorcycle (Yamaha FJR1300) from SoCal to Dallas and back with my wife on back. My preference is desolate two lane twisty back roads. We were debating taking the GT350, as it is the shiny new toy. My FJR is a 2006 and has 50k miles, not so shiny.. Part of me wanted to take the...
  6. The GT350 really is quite rare

    There is no real big aha's being posted here other than an observation. I am in the process of driving across the country. I have been on my motorcycle for three days going from SoCal to Dallas, then in a car for a day going to Biloxi and then two days coming back to Dallas. In over 2,000 miles...
  7. Oil Consumption vs. Catch Can Oil

    With about 10k on the odometer, my best estimation is that my car "uses" about 1 qt every 3,000 miles. About 1,000 miles ago I installed a JLT catch can. I drained it the other day and to my surprise there was about 3 oz of oil, about half full. I do understand the concept of a car burning...
  8. Carbon Fiber Body GT350R

    From Jay Leno's Garage, about 500+ lbs less and looks cool too! Just a $70,000 upgrade.
  9. Miles til Empty - Results - Est 1/2 Gallon left at Zero

    Without getting stranded I ran my GT350 down to about 10 miles left til empty. I was getting about 20 miles per gallon at the time and the car topped up with almost exactly 15 gallons. With a spec of 16 gallons total. This would leave about 1/2 gallon if I ran her all the way down to Zero...
  10. Top Speed, 6th Gear & What were they thinking?

    I just got back from a 1,550 mile round trip to Telluride, CO and back, I got about 20.6 miles per gallon (per the computer), which is quite good since 80-100 was the cruising speed, and it might have been at the higher end of that range on average. But this 6th gear just Sucks Ass! It is WAY...
  11. LEO Counter Measures

    I just saw the thread regarding the alcantara covered center console with cup elimination, and one of the posters runs a police scanner. I just downloaded the 5-0 Police Scanner app and was playing around with it, and am trying to determine it's value. Do others on this forum use a police...
  12. Performance Review

    My 2017 GT350 has 2,000 mile on it. I am now comfortable with the car and was able to put it through it's paces yesterday on some challenging roads. Coming back from a business meeting in Agoura Hills back to Long Beach, I took canyons roads through the famous Mulholland Hwy and Rock Store...
  13. Would You Purchase This Mini Spare Tire? (19"x6")

    Inspired by this recent thread by JohnVallo, I got thinking about getting a manufacturer to create a real spare tire for the Shelby. http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49371 Would you purchase a spare wheel to fit neatly in the trunk wheel well? Even if the rim cost $300? Keep in...
