Congrats! I got mine in June. It was between that and a viper actually! Is that a 96 GTS?
Yes, 96 with 16,xxx miles on it. Haven't driven it since buying the 350R....need to get it out of the garage, it's an experience to drive.

Decided I'd look at a Magnetic R at a local dealer in 2018. First real up close look at a 350/R. Sat in it. Fired it up and I knew my HC A8 was gone. The HC was just too big and boring and I wanted back into a 3rd pedal. The pure visceral sound and feel was calling to my soul. Woulda bought it that day if the dealer wasn't so greedy but $30k ADM... Paid off to wait it out for a couple months. There are times when I feel like making the move to a GT500 but I think giving up my R would sting to much. It's not the fastest car I've had but it sure is the most enjoyable to drive. I would miss it.
Yes I've definitely driven much faster cars, but have not enjoyed them as much as these GT350's. They are very unique.

The 96 GTS is an iconic car in my opinion. 2 snakes look great in your garage!

I read and watched videos ever since it was released in 15/16. Thought to myself, "I probably wont be able to afford it new but maybe used one day". Well, come late 2017 I was divorced and actually made out on the deal with our house sale and "POOF" September of 2018, I was the proud owner of a 17 AG 350 which I found in Wisconsin with on 3300 miles. The prior owner bought it brand new in late 16 and drove it for a short while and upgraded to the 18R in late 17. I will never sell it. I love driving it and always smile. I owned a 2004 MACh1 prior that I spent some serious money on etc but the Gt350 is a different animal and it never gets old. :dance:

In Dec 14' I ordered a 15' GT/PP spoiler delete with recaro's, I only added a Corsa extreme cat back and was very happy with the 6 speed and the gearing, When the advertising with pics and sound for the GT350 came out later in the year...I thought wow...what a sports car. I didn't actually see one in person until the spring of 16'. It took me 3 more years before I traded up.

2016, the year I bought my first Mustang. A GT350 roared past me on the interstate doing what must have been about 150mph. I'd never heard such a loud and violent sound come from a car before. I only got a glimpse of it before it was gone. A month later I was in a new GT.

I was on the Coevette Forum (I had an 05 C6) when someone posted the Car and Driver article that picked the GT350 over the Vette in a comparison test. Guys went bonkers there. I waited until 2017 and prices came down. I only saw one on the road in all that time. I have never regretted the purchase.

Bought one sight unseen 5 years later.
Bought one sight unseen in 2015.

First time seeing and hearing it was at delivery on December 10, 2015.

'16 GT350, Shadow Black, Whipple Supercharged
In Dec. 2014 I ordered a Triple Yellow, GT Premium, with the 50th anniversary package.
It took awhile to get to me as the seatbelt-hold delayed delivery until Mar. 2015.
On 31 March it arrived at Sarasota Ford.
This automatic, 3.55 geared, 435HP, S550 was perfect, What could be better.
That's when I started hearing about this new GT350.

Here's the first video I saw:



What !, Ford Performance Team took this newly designed S550 and went through every aspect of it and made all these improvements ???

Here's the video that sold me:


My new GT Premium was still in showroom condition, and only had 1250 miles on it.
I had to have the new GT350. I wanted a Shadow Black without stripes. There was only 1 showing in Florida, and it was en-route. I traded my beloved GT premium on the day(Dec 31, 2015) the SB GT350 arrived at Mullinax Ford, in Apopka, FL. It was only a 3 hour drive.

-By the way- I figured I was going to loose 7,000 on the deal.
Looking Back, as I stated in another post, " It was one of the best decisions I have made !"
