GT350 Too Low for the UK

[quick duck]

If there is too much to reingineer a car for the Euro market, then leave that market out, sell it to the rest of the world that don't have so many pedestrians silly enugh to walk into the path of a car

Like the Ford GT?

Yes indeed, if you mean the 2005 one (I'm not sure if Ford actually lost money/just broke even on each car though)? The current GT (like the original GT40) is primarily a racing car (more or less the same philosophy that was behind the Le Mans homologation specials of the mid-90's), I was trying to think about comparable genuine production road cars that were built just for the sake of building them. But hey-ho, either way it's a shame there's no Euro GT350.

As discussed, likely no Euro GT350. However, I am told that Bill Shepherd has one on order to arrive in the new year...

Yep, and the minute it arrives, I'm off to go and drool all over it :love:

Great ..... another day on Mustang6g, another GT350 story to turn me green with envy! :kickrock:

Imagine going into your garage every morning and having that lot to choose from! ...... it's a tough job, but someone's got to do it!

I'd get rid of the yellow Italians to make space for more Mustangs

The balance is about right for me ;)

But after all this talk of bonnet lines and pedestrian impacts etc I did a bit of a comparison. At first glance you don't really see much difference between the GT and the GT350, especially if they're not in the same photo - but when you put them side by side it's amazing how different the bonnet profile/front grill height is. The GT is much more sculpted and the bonnet profile actually rises inside the line of the front wings where as the GT350 dips into a lovely double-concave kind of shape. Never noticed that before.
