The New Shelby GT350

[RALPHIE]

...I actually miss the GT350 side stripe....

:agree: - - Car just doesn't look right without that famous "GT 350" and stripe along the side.

I agree Ralphie! They should drop that emblem on the front fender and spend the money on a side stripe.

FWIW the black R livery reminds me of the 2013 Boss 302 LS, which is no small compliment. The black/gray LS was a dynamite combo.

I prefer the emblem over a side stripe, but I think I'm just burned out on stripes.

I've noticed in many of the recent articles that the writers heap a lot of praise on the Ford representatives for their enthusiasm, accessibility, etc. Whatever the new performance division is doing, they need to keep doing it.

Again, my only beef with this car is I wish they would have put the 1967 style light bar (Cougar/T Bird with no lattice ala 68 Shelby) since they have the sequential signal anyway.

Definitely prefer it without stripes, but looks good either way.

Agree, we have an 08 500 without stripes, and it looks like its missing something (08 verts didnt have stripes). This car because all of the other things going on, looks better with out bold stripes. Black, with the matte stripes like your 13 would probably work (with out the red pinstripe like shown on the 350).

Nope. Ford Performance unit (still not used to not saying SVT).

Is that one of those "not for retail sale" stickers?

 

[Specracer]

Memory is slipping.... well in that case the 350 like your 13 would look even better....

My 13 didn't have stripes foo!

Will the GT350 be ready with the rest of the 16 mustang production starting the first of Aug?

Very interesting as regards the MR shocks/strut capability. e.g. Track setting provides some form of compliance for FIA curbing. Somebody will be having fun!!

I think the capabilities of this car will be epic and a pleasant shock to those of us who are into Mustangs. I can't wait to get my hands on one.

Was at my local dealership, and the Sales Manager was about to call me to say that Ford held a lottery for the 350R, and that they were not going to get one. Bummer!

"This cooling became necessary when Ford decided to perform a durability test for the GT350R that consisted of a 24-hour run at a racetrack where the lap times were kept within three percent of the car’s flat-out max"

3% lap-to-lap variation?? :slap:slap
