GT500 Will Kill GT350 Prices, No?

Totally agree....after speaking at length with a gentleman from Shelby last weekend who owns a GT350, I've become pretty interested in the turbo route.

Honestly I like the amount of power the car comes with. It's always easy to say (more please) but I'm still pretty happy with the car's performance as is

I'm not that guy but I have a couple of close friends who have nearly unlimited funds.

One owns both a hellcat AND a Demon. His wife prefers to drive the demon because the ride is nicer...i.e. Softer suspension. So much for the demon being less street friendly than the hellcat...lol
I've seen both at the track and the demon is an amazing car......STOCK. I saw him go 6.70 in the 1/8th stock. That said, for bang for the buck, I'd take the hellcat and modify it.

My other buddy has owned just about everything and can own anything he wants. He swears the GT350 is the best car he has ever owned. I've heard the same thing from several people who own them who have owned tons of cars. I've never driven one though so can't comment.

Regarding what people used to say about the values of the "original" (07-09) gt500s not going down much......I just bought an 09 gt500 for less than what comparable 03 Cobras are going for with the same miles. Car vales are cyclical with the generations for those who haven't figured it out yet. Just about every car will be cheap at some point and expensive at another....timing is everything.

I think the 07-09 are bottoming right now. You can find them all over in the $20K range. That is a lot of car for that money, and often they have low mileage.

I think the gt500 will take some of the 350 and 350 R's thunder just because it's the latest and greatest, but I dont think it will kill the value. I see the ADM's reducing and maybe going away on those cars and going onto the new gt500 in a big way, which I think will actually steer most buyers towards the 350 and 350R until those ADM's come down on the 500's. They may price the gt500 similarly to the 350R but with ADM's the 500 will be north of $100k for close to a year, during that time the buyers w/ more money then sense will be buying them up and fueling the initial high mark ups until the newness wears off and prices settle to a reasonable point.

I think there will always be a following for the 350 specifically because of the engine as long as ford keeps it exclusive to the 350 and for that reason I don’t see the value dropping that much with the 500 being out there.

I doubt we'll see the Voodoo in anything after the GT350. I do think the Voodoo is a precursor to future Mustang engines. It's not the last time we'll see the FPC in a Mustang. The next gen Ford FPCs will have smaller displacement, though, and might have a turbo or two strapped to them.

That said, we may see an emergence of GT350-bros who will proclaim that the Voodoo started the FPC craze, and there wouldn't be XYZ if it wasn't for the Voodoo; nevermind the countless other manufacturers that have been using FPCs for decades. Can the world suffer through another wave of that???
