Strongly considering a gt350...

[Shift]

[MENTION=19414]Shift[/MENTION] I'm taking your advice. Just had the gt350 transferred from Knoxville to Chattanooga so I'll be able to drive it close to the end of the week. Thanks for the recommendation I think that's a great idea to try before I buy....or consider to buy. That'll give me a whole lot better idea of what I want to do

The car warms up in about 10mins of freeway driving if it's not below ~70F. Once oil temps hit 190*, let it rip. Make sure sport mode is on, and be careful about going through a tunnel or underpass going WOT, you'll probably sign the paperwork at the next stoplight.

I'll post up my thoughts after I take it for a spin. [MENTION=31295]v-man[/MENTION] you have good taste in vehicles from the looks of it. I wouldn't miss any meals to by a car either lol. I don't have any children and my wife and I both make a decent living so the 350 is definitely doable with no problems.

It's a 2016 gt350 will less than 4K miles on the clock. I'm not sure what package it has but it's got the leather/suede heated cooled front seats and the bigger display like my premium. They have it listed at 52,998 "no haggle price". Good deal? Fair deal? Drive it and Decide if I want a gt350 over my reg. Gt and buy a brand new one for the full experience?

I had a 15 EB with a borg warner turbo kit and a long list of suspension and much much more.

It made around 450whp and I was semi ok with it. When I saw a GT350 on the road for the first time I knew it had to go.

Best decision I've ever made with cars.

I parted out my car and did very well.

I too wanted a GT350 over my stock 17 GT. I traded and haven't looked back.

Thank you!!! I've just scratched down a list of parts and "liquidation" prices and it looks pretty good! This is definitely heading in the direction of gt350. I just can't stop thinking about it!

[MENTION=31563]Front Runner[/MENTION] it's just all around better than your reg GT? Driving,power,handling,etc?

i had a modified 15 gtpp and my 350 is being built next week. the looks alone make it worth the jump but i met a guy near me that has one and he took me for a ride and then let me drive it, not questioning my decision at all its so much better. if its a 16 with the leather then it is a tech pack, i would look for a track pack or a 17

[MENTION=23502]mike.s[/MENTION] thank you! I'm looking at it the same way. The looks and it being a Shelby are heavy hitters for me. I'm going to drive this one next weekend then depending on my decision I'll probably order one and that'll give me time to put mine back to stock and recoupe some funds. Thanks for your input!

Yes, it is in all categories.

Although, I do miss is the interior ambient lighting, headed/cooled seats (I have Recaro's), and the Ford stock trunk subwoofer/Shaker system.

The fuel mileage on the GT350 is worse than the GT.

Those are the only negatives IMO. Otherwise, the GT350 is far superior.

I traded in a 13' GT500 for the GT350; which out-looks and out-drives any GT, Roush or any other Chinese enhanced Mustang , still thrilled

I can live with crappy fuel mileage. My f350 gets 13.5 mpg diesel (with lift and wheels and 35's) and my GT is getting less than 15 on e-85. I'm not too concerned with the fuel consumption. More of a weekend warrior for me

Im a hardcore GM guy.

I’d never own a mustang or ford for any reason.

Then I saw some pics of the new GT350. I couldn’t stop looking. Then I read the reviews.

I know it’s based on a mustang, but it’s a whole different animal. It has the muscle presence of a Ferrari 365 GTB. But even more aggressive. And without a boy racer wanna be attitude. This car is serious, and means business.

The driving experience is just off the scale. I see guys wistfully dreaming about Porsche GT3’s..my thought are screw that pansy panzer soap bar. Give me a middle weight champion, which is a GT350.

My car has to have character, I don't know of another car under 100K thats has more character then the gt350. I know the 5.0s are a bargain for the performance out of the box, but the way they look next to a gt350 is drastically different. A hellcat for example, does not deferent it self so drastically from its fleet counterpart in my opinion. The attention my gt350 gets is unreal, sure the competition orange/black combo attributes to that a bit.

If you did all that work to your GT, leaving this one alone is gonna bug the shit outta you!

And if you don't like your low end now, wait til you feel the 3160 gearing :/

However, you can't beat this car in looks and by reading your posts I think this is an itch you're gonna hafta scratch...enjoy:cheers:
