GT350 all day. Voodoo + S550 platform is an amazing combo.

Personally, if it wasn’t a vert, I’d go for the GT500, hands down...although I don’t care for the ad much. Either one is nice, but if you want a GT350 to wind it out, there’s really no comparison.

No used GT500s here at this time, that is what you're on the hunt for I believe? We don't see those too often.

That is asking 13/14 gt500 money!
Add says no expense spared but then a ported stock blower?? That’s skipping some expenses and not going to a good blower. 22 psi on a stock blower is heat soak madness. Mine makes 711rwhp at 18 psi.

This is a deal. They really want to move this car. If your looking for a Shelby this puts you in a nice one at a good price with room to mod it.

OMG...somebody buy this fucking car before I try to find a way to get another one!! These things are pure fucking awesome! And it's not all about the rear coming out from under you every corner, it's about the rear staying under you and being hooked up! It's totally different driving experience and that's just on the road! That being said, this car will kick out in 2nd, 3rd...no problem with it's underrated Voodoo and I haven't even been past 6K rpm yet

Some people like to light up the tires everywhere, some like to take off ramps at 130kph, both can be exhilarating in different ways...this car will do both and sounds ridiculous from the factory...no reason to do exhaust and headers... and that says a lot coming from me, specially to the people that know me and exhaust! The way this thing barks at you on rev match is a whole world of fun all in itself!


anyways, I have no experience with GT500's only GT350's but the GT350's 'R' Fucking Cool!!!


that's all lol :)

That was a really cool video. Really nice review and the dual lap timer portion was really great to watch. Sold me on the GT350 R.
In the meantime though, I'm quite happy with my 2018 GT.

Yea only issues is i would only want a late 17MY or 18MY or higher..
ask me how i know hahah..

perks of working at PD for ford.

i really think i am gonna lean on a gt350r
i figure with a set of headers and full exhaust is all i need for it.. great to hear it wind out 8k and just enjoy it.

the one Ed posted up is a 19...and they are only making 22 R's next year...so they are going to be really hard to get and again no need for exhaust, especially on the R with the factory resonator deletes, loudest factory production car available right now (yeas, I did a bunch of useless research on these cars for like a year LMAO) of course you could make it ridiculous but why bother messing with something that is already great...I've done the ridiculous thing on three other cars and it's fun don't get me wrong... but this car is already boarderline ridiculous to hear in person and with the RPM's your always going to be in the loud range!! haha just saying :)

A stock cobra is not really much fun. Needs many mods to get it into a great car. A GT350 is a turn key go anywhere car. I think it all depends on what you want in the car. If you want to tinker around and slowly improve the car, you get the cobra. If you arent looking to wrench on it the GT350 would be my pick.

I would drive the GT 350 first before buying...you maybe dis-appointed in the lack of punch it has...Sure it's an awesome track car but most of your driving will be on the street.

I was thinking of getting one.. after driving it I decided to keep my GT 500.

For me it the modern tech and safety features of the GT350 that wins me over. The old school car are great for its time but for what it’s worth the new cars are just that much better.
