Remember these ...

This looks better for $75k, but it will have a salvage title :

Go for a RHD S550 Mach1 with Tremec and Recaros.
RHD and the best from both worlds reliable Coyote3 but all the other goodies for the track.
Than add some suspension and chassis components from BMR and a tune for 500+ hp and you are good to go.

This seems to be really rare in the UK, at motors.co.uk I have found only one and three more with automatic.

Edit: Autotrader has more.

There you go, just the right colour!
Eruption Green!
Only malus is that some idiot made the holes for the license plate briquette. (Such a thing should be punished with tarring and feathering).

...more...

Current prices the Mach 1 is about the same as a GT350

@GR11M
That doesn't change anything for me, the Mach1 is the better package, though not as exotic.
You want to drive in left-hand traffic, the GT350 is only available as left-hand drive.
In addition, as I said, the fact that the Mach1 is the best of both (GT & GT350).
I would not put my money on a "Voodoo" if I want to have something for longer.
If I'm being correct about this, some of the GT350 engine parts are already hard to get in the US (there's a good chance you'll need them at some point).
If you don't plan on driving the car much at all and don't care if it sits in the shop for a season because parts don't come, the GT350 may be a good choice.

In addition, the issue of warranty for US imports, even as new cars, it is non-existent, at least here in Germany. Ford just shrugs.
You can (probably like in Germany) equip your Mach1 with a total of 7 years warranty up to 93,000 mls.
With the GT350 you will pay everything out of your own pocket, when there are no more rights against the seller. (I am happy to be taught better.)

I should have added Mach 1 as an option.

There's pros and cons to buying a GT350, this was all hypothetical any way though. If only the import fees weren't so high and we could add a GT500 to list.

For me, it's the Dark Horse all the way. Then I'm going to mod it to become the Dark Knight with a Batman theme. Maybe I'll buy a cape too!

But that flat crank V8 at 8200rpm...

8250... don't sell us lowly GT350 guys out of 50 rpm...!!!
We get so few options compared to you GT & MACH1 owners... even the Ecoboost folks get more options.

Well, we do have one very annoying British YouTuber who already imported a GT500 and loves to show us how the glass to his office switches from clear to opaque incessantly

I prefer to follow YouTubers that are more mechanical/technical that I can learn from rather than those that just flaunt their nice cars.

Ouch, that hurt. Point taken. Sorry.

I was, but I thought your response was aimed at my YouTube channel

Nope, I haven't seen your channel yet.
