Look for what? Most are brand new or very low miles.

So I would say look to empty your wallet

You don’t want to know
Make sure you like (and really fit) the seats. Several people, for example, have commented on how uncomfortable the Recaros are for long trips.

And shoot a video of your test drive. You may be the only person in the history of the world who has actually gotten to test drive a GT 350.

Prepare to make irrational purchases. (Thank god I didn't test drive one first or I wouldn't of been so tough on negotiating off the 5k ADM they wanted).

FWIW the OP didn't state he was looking at a GT350 at a dealer or private party so I'm not sure if dealer test-drive talk and ADMs are applicable.

Figure out if the seats are right for you. That is all.

Thanks for the seats comments. Its a new 2016 tech vehicle from a dealer with no adm. I'll be looking for paint issues on the hood, scratched stripes, etc. read something about spring spacers but think that was an R specific issue. Thething i am most curious about in a test drive is how it feels in normal day to day type driving driving from 1000-3000 rpms with the 3.73's.

It feels fine at those low rpms assuming you're in the right gear for the speed. Good luck keeping it below 4500 :lol:

It cant be in GA if it has no ADM and they let you test drive it :D

Congrats on buying your new tech pack gt350.... I'm saying that because if I had test driven mine, I would have happily paid MORE for it. If you drive it and if you like cars, I suspect, chances are pretty good you will buy it. If you buy it, chances are pretty good you will enjoy the hell out of it.

If it is and if with zero ADM... someone else probably just bought it! :paddle: :D ;)

It's new. No issues to look for, and if you find one have the dealer fix under warranty
