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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Inspired by this recent thread by JohnVallo, I got thinking about getting a manufacturer to create a real spare tire for the Shelby.

Would you purchase a spare wheel to fit neatly in the trunk wheel well? Even if the rim cost $300? Keep in...
