Been looking around thinking if I should buy a 2015-2017 350 or 350r and throwing the hennessey package. I have seen guys talk bad and said watch out. I live on the east coast so I know nothing about him. Or should I just go with 2013/2014 gt 500. The 2020 are out my price range. Gonna wait for a few years to get it.

From what I’ve heard his product is good but he isn’t an honorable businessman.


Pick your poison.
That is a very hard poison to pick. Sad part is all the forums kill him. But a lot of them are also older forums. I saw a 350 that was for sale and is 50 min from his shop. But man I rather listen to you guys lol

Wow it’s an electronics pack car.

Wonder if he added all the necessary coolers or just slapped a blower on it?

If not I’d stay far away from it.

Do you want a road course car or a street bruiser/quarter mile hero?

Get the 13/14 and take it to your local Griggs or Cortex installer.
Or, to put it another way, get the car you really like and mod it into exactly what you want it to be.
Yea I have been feeling like that the 2013 are my best bet and just add on from there. Stock 662 isnt bad. I just love the new bodies. Hence why that new 2020 gt500 is what I really want but my salary doesnt allow me to get it yet. One day soon though

13/14 gt500 is what you want. Under $2000 in mods and you’ll make close to 700whp.

Or if you must have the new body, just buy a mustang and add your choice of forced induction.

Dont really get these. They seem like an inferior version of the GT500. If you want a GT500, just get a GT500.

Go drive a ‘13-14 GT500 and then drive a GT350.
Search YouTube for Palm Beach Dyno GT350 Whipple kit review.
If you prefer the styling and ride of the GT350 over the older GT500, go Whipple GT350.
If you liked the GT500 as is (likely stock), it can be a monster for $2000.
But s197 will never ride like a GT350 and if no track use, I’d probably lean toward Whipple GT350
