Nice pair. Love the blue. Choices, choices.

Yes the 600R package was titanium wrapped stainless works headers, JLT intake, and 93/E85 tune.
I also did their custom coolant tank for visual improvement.

I’ll probably do the coolant tank to the GT500 also. Stock one is an eye soar.

Check out Radium. I couldn’t stand all the boxy looking overflow tanks but this one is compact and visually appealing.

Beautiful combo. Wish I could have kept my 350. Can't agree more in how different they are and what you're in the mood for.

You're going to have a blast during track days in the 350.

Unrelated but this just blew my mind: GT500 Code Red Package starting at $210k and "Pricing does not include base GT500" https://www.shelby.com/en-us/Vehicles/Shelby-GT500-Code-Red

That sold out in a day or two.

Doesn't get much more exclusive than this for the GT500 if only limited to 10 units per MY. Whoever can shell out $300k for a GT500 probably has a lot more cars that are more expensive. If I had that kind of funds, sure why not

Both are great companies and make great products imo.

Man, I struggle enough explaining to people that while, yes, I have two "sports cars", they are still very different driving experiences that complement each other excellently... I can only imagine how much more shit I'd get in your shoes, and how hard it would be to explain .

But congrats! Glad you are able to find unique joy in both vehicles. Beautiful pairing.

Found some pics. I had them installed back in May 2019.
car has been on E since then. Always runs perfectly. Sounds insane. the car is perfection.

Those headers look ghetto to me. I am missing something? Is that cool these days? From my understanding the answer to heat control with headers is a proper coating like Jet-Hot coating. Jet Hot and similar coatings keep heat inside the header and also keep the headers aesthetically appealing.

Well after much back and forth decided to purchase a GT500. Found a fair price finally on a 2020 CFTP painted stripes Ford Performance blue car with 2k miles.
Luckily it has already been full body PPF and ceramic coated. Car literally was ready to be enjoyed.
It sits next to my Avalanche Grey 2017 GT350 that’s a Fathouse 600hp car.

After driving both back to back I can honestly say that you can’t have one over the other. The only Right answer is to have both!
they are completely different driving experiences in every way. Both being incredible in its own right.

I am a 350 guy at heart and lean towards the naturally aspirated high revving drivers car.
The 500 is more sophisticated and obviously a powerhouse. It’s just what you’re in the mood for. Neither disappoint in any way for me.
Im thrilled with how it worked out and blessed to be able to enjoy and share both with my fiends and family.
Plans for the CFTP are to enjoy but not put a ton of miles on. rips around town and some rallies.
Future plans for the GT350 are to finally start doing some track days With it this summer.
Next Goal is to add either a GT350R or 2000 cobra R in the garage as an occasional fun collector piece.

Very nice.

WTH is that white stuff on the ground???? 82 today in HTX!!!

They have custom blankets made for the turbo setups now. Which is also what many endurance race cars use or formed heat shields, without any coatings.

Thanks….I would not want those on my car, but my cars aren’t race cars.

my lottery numbers are 4-6-19-25-66-69... i too, plan on getting cars like these and build two garages... like inthehighdesert's... so nobody copy these numbers and win (if i forget to go buy them)

They cut down enormously on heat in the engine bay. Cheeper than coating and you can barely even see them when the hood is up. Not to mention a lot of coatings deteriorate over time.
