Beautiful pics. Contemplating a 500__
Thank you and yes....always thinking about it....

My youngest daughter goes with me to every car show/ event - watches F1 with me - and this is the first time we actually got to drive one for more then 5-10 minutes- they gave us the keys and let us take it out alone for 30 minutes.....

Between living in good old Orange County CA and having 2 teenage daughters in private school and one driving- right now my budget only allows me to have one or the other....

So I depend on my 12 year old daughter pretty heavily for her input as I want her to feel like she is part of the decision making process given her passion

So here was her take on the GT500 after 30 minutes and probably a good 10-15 pulls in it -

She said the acceleration is fun like a roller coaster but the rest of the time you are driving it - that riding in the car she thinks the stick shift makes the car feel more exciting. She also liked the way the 350 sounds better. She thought over all the 500 felt smoother - she likes the way the 350 feels more jumpy.

So when the two cars were parked next to each other...I asked her which would you rather have if I said you could have the keys to either if they cost the same ....she said the 350 because of the sounds and the stick shift......

Yes.... definitely different I would base my car buying decisions on input from a 12 year old girl lol...but hey I thought it was pretty insightful.... I wish I could afford both lol
