Local Ford Dealer let me drive A 2019 blue with white stripes GT350 to enter in a car show. Haven't stopped thinking about it since. If I bought one it would have to be my "every" car. Day in day out , Wal mart, etc. Do you think it's too much of a "look at me" car ? I had a beat up truck and a foreign car try to get me to race in that little time.

I like to think of the GT350 as a get the hell out of my way car!

Do it. I drive it anywhere, anytime, rain or shine. If you don't want the attention, you can go stripeless. IMO though these cars and stripes go together like burgers and fries.

If you’re asking this question you might want to think about your personality type. Do you mind people coming up to you regularly and asking about your car. And I mean everywhere. In your driveway, at a traffic light, and, of course, at the Wal-Mart. The GT350 is certainly an “in your face” car. If this is you, then damn, go for it. If it’s not, you might want to consider something else.

Buy a beater first. Something around $5-$7K can last a while if you look around.

I love my 2019! But don't impulse buy one! Unless they want to sell it for about $58K - shop around and get a deal!

A GT350 without stripes is like a stripper without a pole.
I got mine with the intention of being a daily driver, i have absolutely 0 regrets. It's very driveable in LA traffic
Drive mine every day - rain or shine - 5545 miles according to FordPass!

I was set on buying a new 2019 Bullitt, but made a last minute decision to test drive a used GT350 that was sitting on the dealer lot. All of the new ones had ADM prices, so I had not considered them. After driving the GT350 once, I could not stop thinking about it. I quickly changed my search to find a low mileage 2018 and three weeks later, it was in my garage for approximately the same money I would have spent on a Bullitt. I am glad I had the chance encounter because I feel the GT350 is a far superior car that matches perfectly with my Raptor.

You will not regret buying one!

I was looking to get a 2019 PP2 until I drove a slightly used GT350. The GT350 is now in my garage.

If you buy one, be prepared to get used to the attention this thing brings. It never seems to end, and a lot of people seem to really appreciate the uniqueness of this vehicle due to the exhaust and the looks.
As a daily driver, you can NOT get tired of driving this thing. Everytime you crank it up and hear that flat plane crank come to life, you will grin from ear to ear... It never gets old!!!!!!

Stripeless doesn't get near the attention, but people definitely notice this car. I enjoy the daily drive, especially with the windows down listening to the glorious exhaust...

The only thing you will need to do is put Michelin Pilot Sport tires on it when the Cup2 tires wear out. It's a great car if you don't mind the attention it brings. The only downside is the gas mileage but then I don't buy cars like that for gas mileage.
