Damn! I like whats in your toy shed! Will you adopt me!? Lol!GT500 would be the better car of the two IMO. And I owned the 350 and now own the GT and Bullitt as well. The GT500
Is an all out race car and trust me in that statement. And the technology and just a truly bad ass car to the Max. I own the Redeye Hellcat and Charger Hellcat as well. Came from the Z06.

Nah I got enough drama in my LIFE LOL.Da-yam man, you must be in politics. ;-)
There's a license plate idea!I owned a 2020 GT500 and ended up selling it. The car was pretty amazing but just wasnāt the car for me. It would go 0 to jail really quick. Iāve ordered a 2020 GT350R for lots of reasons but I really did miss not having a standard transmission, the 500 was the first automatic Iāve ever owned in a mustang. I donāt think you can go wrong either way.
I drove my '16 GT350 from New York to Georgia and back, twice. The drive through WV was fabulous and I'll never forget it. I just got back last night from the same drive in my '20 GT500 and it was no different with the DCT. Having a bit more power was a plus. Weight difference is a non-factor on public highways at speed so I can honestly say that the fatass of a GT500 did just as well from a vehicle dynamics perspective.Given the fact that you live in WV, with its abundance of twisty roads, I think you would be happier with a GT 350. The GT 500 drinks huge quantities of fuel if that is a consideration.
It doesn't work that way. The DCT/PCM calibration is as near perfect as can be. "Misapplying" the throttle isn't somehow more likely in the GT500 than in the GT350. It is just like any other car.gmuffley said:Personally, I think it is foolish to put ever greater amounts of horsepower in increasingly heavier vehicles. The potential for misapplication of the throttle at the wrong time is just too great.
Ya you gotta hold that wheel. Never know when you get a jerk to the left or right. Yes I had a set of 4S on the R for a bit. Definitely reduced tramlining. Softer ride too. Much better for daily driving. But on all honesty the R didn't feel like an R anymore.So I got to test drive a 350 today. 1st time driving one. Def a different kind of animal. Incredible handling. I now understand the obsession with revving that thing out and listening to the engine/exhaust!
The biggest issue I had was the tramlining! Holy Sh!T.... we have terriblly uneven and cared for roads here... def need a solid grip on the wheel at ALL times...my butthole puckered a few times bc it damn near pulled me into other lane/on coming traffic. Both in town and on interstate. Def had all my senses fully engaged but not in an entirely good way.
Which leads to my question for all you 350 owners. I know some tramlining is expected due to tire size... but curious if anyone switched out the cup 2's to all seasons like michelin sport 4S or have models pre cup 2 tires? Did the tramlining decrease or become a little subdued by less track/performance oriented sticky tires?
What year 350? The 2020 GT350's do not have the tramline pull as the 19 and earlier GT350 models due. I can tell a clear difference between the two. Ford using the 2020 GT500 steering system in the 2020 GT350's was an awesome upgrade IMO.So I got to test drive a 350 today. 1st time driving one. Def a different kind of animal. Incredible handling.

It was a 2020! I thought the same. But after researching, the 350 def got engine upgrades in 19' but I think the steering upgrades went to the 2020 R but not base 350. Could be wrong.... either way, if they did, it didn't help!What year 350? The 2020 GT350's do not have the tramline pull as the 19 and earlier GT350 models due.

Seriously? Starting at $203,000 - you must not value your money much. I was also surprised to read how porky the 911 has become. Anyway, could you explain what you like about the 911 Turbo S that makes you think it's worth 3X the GT350?nah, i'd go with the new 911 turbo S...
I do like the 718 GT4. But IMO mid and rear engine cars are seriously lacking drama on the street. In other words, too boring unless it was a track car only. And I don't have $100K plus lying around to spend on a track car or bland street car.gotta love that new 718 GT4 though...sweeeeeet.
Alignment will make a difference, and you can buy less grippy or narrower tires to reduce it. IMO part of it is just getting used to the car. There's definitely a natural anxiety when the car wants to turn and you aren't ready for it.So I got to test drive a 350 today. 1st time driving one. Def a different kind of animal.
