Definitely a fair price especially given the price increase on a 2025. Also, not a very old car only about 6 months old. Look at it this way, it could easily be $5k off new, plus $5k additional savings if you bought it new with Ford cut rate financing, which being used doesn’t qualify anymore...

My first impression was definitely the same as yours. However, the really insightful part of the whole series is how he worked with the Michelin development center to dial in the suspension.

The first video in the series is a very impressive time lapse of making a GT40 in 4000 hours over 4 years. The follow-on video's that take the audience into the secretive Michelin SiMiX facility where they spent countless hours over several weeks using unique and precise equipment to tune the...

I agree. I’d think it’s the higher flow ”blue” filters, carbon trap delete (unconfirmed), h or x-pipe (unconfirmed), and e30 fuel (just a guess). Unless there’s some other mod like long tube headers and high flow cats or cat delete, it’s hard getting that much bump from an active exhaust car...

Note too that the manual transmission in the SuperSnake is MT82 with Barton short throw shifter, so I’m guessing it’s the same in the GT350.

That’s the problem with used. New may not have costed much more if you financed since Ford is still offering cut rate financing on 2024 models. I only list current vehicles. I’m 61 and have had a lot of vehicles over the years, including 74 Mustang, 88 Mustang GT with T-tops, 98 Taurus SHO, 22...

Unveiled GT350 and GT350R https://www.shelby.com/multimedia/News/ArtMID/5059/ArticleID/141/Shelby-GT350-and-Shelby-GT350R-Return

If they would do that, that’s what I would do. If the car has active exhaust and the previous owner did a resonator delete, that’s very expensive. The intake tubes are not as expensive. The air filters are not expensive. Makes me wonder what else may have been done.

Warranty, not really. Just have to be careful they’re not over oiled, which could saturate the delicate sensors in the intake tubes and throw a check engine light. If they removed the carbon traps, that could be a warranty issue. They’re hard to put back in (it’s like a coiled ribbon of plastic)...

It's on youtube, pretty easy open hood, find the airboxes left and right, pop the clips, open the box, look for yellow paper (stock Ford) or something else like red or blue (aftermarket). Also, check if they yanked out the carbon traps from the intake tubes. This is a little harder to check...

I'm a baby boomer, I'd love that MOD 502 plaque. Would match my 1970's era Bowling trophies perfectly. The personalized plate for that is available in AZ too!!!

Here’s the announcement about the car under wrap.

For that kind of money, I’d rather have one of the numerous Shelby GT350’s or preferably Boss 429’s. We saw at least 5 of the latter, which given they only made 1500 or so over the 2 year run, was a pleasant surprise. It was Mustang heaven.

I did register to win the GT. I don’t think a duplicate is possible. No more Dark Matter Grey and no more start/stop delete. I also registered to win the Shelby under wraps that they’re going to unveil at Barrett Jackson.

I didn’t ask.

More beautiful than expected. Not my kind of ride though.

Note, according to Shelby rep I talked to, the one under wrap is an unveiling and contest giveaway.

Hard to tell the color vs. the lighting.

Observations: These are all so much more beautiful in person. The short throw shifter was a huge difference. Shelby rep said it’s a Barton on the MT82.

The manual calls for 5w-30, API SP/ILSAC GF-6A spec oil to among other things reduce the incidence of LSPI. The only official change I know of is Whipple recommends 5w-50. So why 10w-30 with an oil that is higher in Zinc/Phosphorous (which can cause catalytic converter issues) and specifically...
