The Michelin tires were designed exclusively for the GT350R, and they have a special compound and tread pattern.

There is more then just this article on it but when I go to buy tires for my car… there is a cup 2 and then...
I think we got lost with the racing stuff
Dark Horse
Different suspension brakes and bumpers and a tuned Coyote
gt350 takes all of that and adds
Carbon composite radiator support
Lower hood line
Fenders .5 inches wider then the Mustang
Really everything a pillar forward is completely...
I previously owned a 67 GT500 and yes- definitely once Ford took over.....many of the purists only consider the cars built by Shelby American in the 60s a true Shelby .....
A little video of me treating my GT500 like a real investment lol
Got Time To Burn? We've Got Tires To Burn! (youtube.com)
Now given the unreliability of these cars.....you got to figure we are going to go through at least 2 or 3 motor replacements....I mean its almost like getting an annual oil change for most of us..... I mean hell no wonder the values are so high - this is a billion dollar car easy!!
Interesting question...no idea what the average price per car turned out to be..... $500 - yes give me the name....
If it was 20K - call it the My Little Pony for all I care if it comes with a VooDoo lol
Funny because Dark Horses are selling below sticker and 4 year old Shelbys are still selling over sticker ....yep their time has definitely come and gone.... I mean all of these Heritage Edition cars selling for way over 100K ....
PS I still love the Dark Horse but you guys are cracking me up-...
NASCAR??? umm....ok so the Dark Horse is the Ford Taurus of Mustangs!! Hell I should have bought a Taurus when I had the chance....I mean they derived NASCARs off it so it MUST be good
Wait wait you said drag car......OK no not the Ford Taurus ....the Dark Horse is the Pinto of Mustangs...
This one is huge- the GT350/GT500 are actually wider then the standard GT - the front height is lowered something like 60mm compared to Mustangs - so the radiator support is custom to GT350s and GT500s made from a carbon fiber composite
So Ford made the hood lower and fenders wider compared to...
PS its interesting- no one talks about Dark Horses on the GT350 forums...just saying ..let that sink in....
I mean the real enemy is EVs - I propose both Dark Horse and 350s are awesome cars in their own unique ways and shouldn't be compared - because both are a million times better then some...
So much hate on the VooDoo in here- lots of guys running with tons of mileage on their original motors
Just like the Porsche IMS bearings
6.7 Powerstroke Fuel Systems
Z06 cylinder heads
C8 transmissions
Coyote truck motors burning oil
If I go to the problems area on this forum- one could...
This right here. I agree 100%
So a few things … first the gen 2 voodoo has proven itself reliable …
can you find a thread where one or two let go… absolutely… but I also know of threads on here where 2024 cars had their motor replaced all ready …
first I absolutely love the coyote … I...
No one buys a GT and then wishes they had bought an Ecoboost instead but Im willing to bet there are people who bought an Ecoboost that wish they would have gone for the GT after....
I think the touch screen would be easy to use
I think the screens looks great.....and would love the interior.....in an Explorer.......or some other car....
I think my biggest complaint is- we drive a Mustang because they are unique...and different....and stand out...
While I think the...
