FI GT or GT350??

[jvandy50]

The ADM's are mostly gone on the GT350's. Yes, some dealers are still asking for them, but their cars are just sitting idle on the lots. Meanwhile, most dealers have started unloading their GT350s for sticker price. I have an option on a lightly used local GT350 from a private party, but its not really the color I want. (white with blue stripes)

I looked through autotrader last night and found 325 2017 models...a few were R models, but only about 15 were under MSRP(probably 50 or so listed at MSRP), and some of those I don't think the MSRP was listed correctly because I couldn't build it that expensive on ford's site. And I think you're right, lots of ADM still but plenty of MSRP so I have no idea why someone would pay that now.

Only thing I don't like is no heated seats for the girlfriend...and if the cooled seats actually worked that might be a deal breaker...but they made me sweat so kinda pointless!

Gonna be hard to make it through the day without buying this car...

Sorry but you get more HP for your money, now if your looking for more
value for your money go GT350 has better resale value.

The GT stock is more than fast enough to keep me happy. My drive in a Track Pack 350 was more than enough to convince me of that. That car is far more special than a boosted GT, and I'm not talking about rarity.

You did me in man! Showed my friends and they sent this back

So I ended up with her, we shall see how this goes(with the traction control on)

I appreciate everyone's insight and opinions, this was a tough decision. Ultimately the rave reviews of the 350 got the best of me. Not to mention, the local dealer/salesman (Glen Sain Ford) is a friend and they are great to work with...had to see what all the talk is about. I loved my GT so this will have some big shoes to fill :ford:

Congrats, and welcome. Break the engine in well, change the oil and filter around 1k miles and make sure that filter is put back on to the correct torque. After that, find a great backroad and carve.

thank you sir, i'll have to start reading up on these now...used amsoil in the GT and want to do as much of the upkeep as possible. although i trust these guys, i don't want just anyone servicing the car

after the MGW and BG fluids, i had no issue with the mt82. liked it much better than the tremec (3550 or 3650 can't remember) that was in my last fox body.

and yeah i can see where they'd be quite different going back and forth like you can lol...was watching a YouTube vid and somebody thought the 350 owner took off in 2nd it was such a long pull before a shift could be heard...nothing like a PP with 3.73

I've done the 2nd take off with my GT PP a couple of times, it is very nice, specially that mine is supercharged, but I am afraid I am going to break something. I rather do a short pull on 1st just to get the car going before slamming the 2nd. Even then you have to have some finesse with the gas or it will spin out.

Congrats, you are truly fortunate to own a well tuned machine like the GT-350.

Enjoy and watch out for the haters
