Right now I am trying to decide if I should purchase a 2019 GT 350 R or a GT 500. The Ford dealership that I do business with has a GT 350R Black with the black red pinstripe with all the tech and comfort options arriving June 15. This is a dealer ordered vehicle and they are willing to sell to me with no markup. The dealership also has one allocation for a GT 500 that I can have. I currently own a GT 350 2017 fully loaded, and I absolutely love it ! Other wise I would never be considering a GT 350 R, WHILE owning a GT 350. I know it seems crazy but I love the GT 350, but I really love everything about the GT 500 , except 1 thing, no manual transmission. I know, I need to progress and get with the times, but a big enjoyment for me driving the GT 350 is shifting my own gears. I really feel like when you have a car like a Shelby mustang there is enjoyment in just " cruising" and listening to the engine/exhaust as you shift your own gears. I guess what I am trying to say is with a manual transmission it actually keeps you engaged while not being on the track. No doubt the GT 500 will be faster and actually easier to drive fast. And it has 750 HP and is great looking !
I was wondering if it seems crazy to own a GT 350 and a GT 350R ? Does anybody else on the forum own both ? It probably makes more sense to own a GT 350 and a GT 500 right ? The other thing I am afraid of is regardless of how Great the GT 500 is, and I know it is great, I am nervous that driving it around not being on the track will not be engaging and it might actually get boring.
Just curious what other forum members think/opinions. And I know, the only opinion that counts is mine, but I find it very helpful to hear the opinions of other Shelby owners.
Happy Memorial Day weekend to everyone and enjoy celebrating our veterans and great troops !
I can not wait to watch the coke 600 and cheer on BK # 2 Penske Racing !
