I Got to Rev Up on a Pilot Production GT350

One of the local MCA clubs held their annual car show in Cincinnati today, and surprisingly, a black pilot production GT350 with tech package was on hand. I believe it was PP032.

This was the first time I heard the exhaust sounds in person. I could have sat in that car for the rest of the show playing with the exhaust settings. It was controlled by one of the toggle switches, which I think is a function of having the tech package. I am slipping on my detailed option knowledge here.

The tech package seats felt the same size as the standard seats in my '15 GT Premium, although the grippy fabric definitely is a nice addition.

I haven't had luck yet on ordering one, but this re-whet the appetite. It looked great in all black. If it wasn't in the middle of the show field, I would have tried to measure the differences in the front fascia heights. The width of the front track was noticeably more than the standard cars when viewed from the side with a head-on position.

While there have been a number of posts from others who have been in it, I was glad to see it up close and get in it.

What a car...

I want dat.

Nice Tony!

Any good pics of the interior with the tech package?

Thanks for posting the video, Tony. I was not aware of the George Thorogood background music option....do you have any details?

I was also able to experience one this past weekend. It was a track pack car. It did not have the toggle switches, so you had to go into the track apps through the steering wheel buttons to access the exhaust modes. It sounds amazing, it crackles when you lift, and it seems like you have to shift so much earlier than you do. It sings all the way up to its 8250 redline. What I was also VERY happy about, is with the valves open and the windows up at cruising speed, there is NO drone inside the car. I plan to leave my valves open indefinitely. The possibility of drone was my only concern. I'll post pics shortly. We also took it down a rougher back road and I was VERY impressed with the ride quality considering what this car's purpose is. I think everyone who is planning on daily driving theirs is going to be content.

Was that the show by Dave & Busters in Tri-County Mall ? That's like 10 mins from where I live but was out to Wilmingon autocrossing... Too bad I missed it...

Very Cool Tony!!! I still haven't seen one in person, let alone hear one in person.

You are one up on me, man. I have yet to order one

Very cool Tony. Looks amazing in black.

Tony got any interior pics?

Thanks for sharing. I noticed this car has the strut brace. Does this mean all GT350s get them? I thought it was only for the track pkg.

I had a similar experience this past weekend, was at what used to be a Mustang only show (they let in anything Ford powered this time). There was white with blue stripes GT350 on display there, this was a Canadian PP car I think. As I was sitting in the drivers seat, I noticed that all the correct lights were on indicating that the key was somewhere close (was in the cup holder, someone forgot them), I pushed the clutch in and my finger was approaching the start button, circling around it, when guy reached in from passenger side and removed the keys! lol oops!
