GT350 would have saved his life, one look at the manual transmission (nope!)

I kind of already have this setup. A manual 6 speed BMW M240i (B58) that is tuned to around 500whp. It's really fun because all the power is mid-range and kicks in like a freight train, feels like 2x faster than the GT350 because of all that torque. It's a really nice compliment to the way the...

I don't think so. Sadly the M2 weighs about the same or even a little bit more than the M4 while also having a detuned engine with less HP (if we're talking M2 comp vs. F82 M4).

^ Yeah that 8-9K rip on an RS with proper exhaust and headers hits different.

I've never thought about replacing it. I think GT3, F430, and the 458 are all logical "upgrade" options. Cars that are super special and give huge emotional experiences. But where they are priced just doesn't make much sense. I think the perfect garage to me would be GT350R + 718 Spyder.

PB 😻

Very cool

These are always facts and talking points I keep back pocket when certain folks love to point out all of the GT350 issues but praise the Porsche GT brand for being bulletproof. They are almost always unaware of the widespread issues with the 911.1 GT3.

I have a 2017 M240i that I daily, it also is highly tuned and makes around 500WHP with simple bolt-ons. This car is amazing if you view it as an awesome DD, and not as a special sports car (M2 included). The torque curve on this thing while hitting full boost is intoxicating.

Literally the last bunch of NA high HP 6 speed manual sports cars (assuming your GT3 is manual).

This seems like a fairly reasonable request? The lowest cost least friction solution would be to check if the previous owner had the spare stock exhaust laying around instead of ordering a new one, waiting for it, installing it etc.

Agreed, not exactly an apples to apples comparison but SPY (S&P 500 ETF) returned 120% since Jan 2016. Odds are the collector is wealthy enough though to allocate some % of his overall portfolio to collector cars which more or less act like a really low yielding bond but are way more fun to...

I was pretty shocked even after paint correction of the number of light scratches on my R wing, all is fine until you shine a light on it at a certain angle.

Nice price. I have no idea how you put only 2k miles on that car in 4 years in a warm climate though...

I'm unsure if the ECU flash counter has a timestamp, would be pretty stupid if it didn't. Either way, all they would need to do is hook it up to their diagnostic tool and check that the timestamp was prior to your purchase, and viola. If it doesn't have the timestamp well, it's your word against...

First time I've seen a body-colored painted spoiler 😶

I mean it's very likely they had planned all along to stop in 2020 given the historical significance of the 1965-1970 run of the original. The fact that Ford gave Jamal Hameedi the green light in the first place is kind of amazing in its own right.

Completely agree. What's unfortunate though is that if you browse general car forums like r/cars on Reddit, almost every GT350 thread is riddled with folks claiming every car has oil burning issues and will eventually blow up. Really frustrating as they choose to ignore similar issues that had...

That is extremely impressive! Thanks for sharing

Wow, that is amazing, do you have more pics of the entire set up?? I also have that die-cast model :)
