Thanks for the info... hard to quantify the variables, but let's just say all the cars are very capable. Man, that GT500 is an engineering marvel! How they ever got that heavy beast to be so nimble is beyond me.....
I wouldn't trade my 350 for it because I want a manual transmission and not in...
The exception to this whole conversation in my opinion is the Shelby Gt350 engineered by Ford Performance from 2015-2020 (particlarly the R model).
I would be interested to see a track lap review of the Dark horse vs the S550 GT350 driven by the same professional driver (Randy Probst perhaps?)...
I wouldn't do it. That's a lot of money to swallow just to have the shelby name on it. I paid 1/2 that price for my GT350 and it's a far superior vehicle than these souped up GT's that Shelby America is producing. Just my opinion......
I put a corsa sport exhaust on my 2017 GT vert. It worked fine. I eventually sold it to someone who had a GT coupe and he got it to work just fine as well. I think the only difference is some brackets and a little different bend in the pipes.
That being said, I regretted getting a loud exhaust...
You will find that most road courses will NOT allow verts on the track without a roll bar. Sorry, I owned a 2017 GT vert and really enjoyed it, but couldn't track it without a roll bar. Even if you put one in you will find that the handling on a vert for tracking is not optimal.
If you are on a...
It's taken me a while to warm up to the S650 gen. The more I see it the better it looks. I still think it has some camaro body lines and the back end seems squished, but overall a really nice looking sports car. The front end of this model should have been the S550 2018 refresh in my opinion. I...
I have nothing against EV's. I have to admit there are times when I turn off the exhaust on my shelby or put it in 6th if I want some peace and quiet and not all the drama. But when I do want the sound it's there. I was at a indoor car show this fall and watched as some of the 60's and 70's...
The time frame you were describing for order/delivery does not seem excessive.
To me a BMW is a completely different direction from a mustang unless you are talking the M2 series. I drove a friends 550i x drive. It was super fast and smooth, but to me there was no connection to the car, no soul...
The GT350 had issues with rocks/debris coming through the front lower fascia by the rocker panels. Foam inserts or mudflap type attachments fixed this.
Ford also fixed an issue with the exhaust tips collecting rocks/pebbles by drilling several holes in the bottom of the exhaust tips (rock...
I was at my local Ford Dealership and saw my very first 7th gen Mustang. It was a shadow black GT. I have to say it does look better than the pictures, although the black color really blends everything together in a way that hides some of the design accents. I really wish ford would have used...
yeah, just not a fan. ....sorry for ruffling anyone's feathers...
I love the Mustang brand, I just don't think we need LED screens in our cars in order to do the primary function which is handling a 3500+lb piece of metal, rubber, and plastic on a road.
But that is my opinion only
