    THINKING OF BUYING ONE

    I had a 2007, 2011, and 2013 GT500. All were great torque monsters, but I always felt they were plotting to kill me! LOL! I was enamored with the 350 when it was introduced in 2015, as I prefer road courses. I just couldn't give up the HP of the GT500's. When the 2020 GT500's were rumored, sans...

    Question on the Gen 2 motor ?

    Agreed, and I'm wasting my time trying to make an obvious point!

    Question on the Gen 2 motor ?

    I think they were limited with the 5.2 engine. Ford wants an engine that is reliable. There are aftermarket add on's such as turbo kits and superchargers for the GT350, but these also tend to nullify your warranty and put additional strain on the engine. Not worth the effort or money in my...

    Question on the Gen 2 motor ?

    I understand your points reference power, but the GT350 wasn't designed to be a straight line performer. Sure Ford could have put a larger, more powerful, and heavier V-8 in the nose; however, I think they would have sacrificed the balance and handling characteristics of their original mission...

    Question on the Gen 2 motor ?

    I've had three, new, past GT500s; 07, 11 and 13. The Crap-years came off immediately after i took delivery of every one! I was more into road courses than quarter mile. You can, and many do, put wider tires, drag radials, etc. on the rear to enhance traction. As I drove my car's year round...

    Question on the Gen 2 motor ?

    I had a 2013 GT500 and bought a 2019 GT350 when I learned of the lack of a 6 speed and exorbitant price of the new 2020 GT500. I had 46K on the 500, so it wasn't a garage queen! I found the GT500 fun to drive but much of the power was lost to wheel spin on WOT ventures. You were always trying to...

    Are all 2019 gt350 R models 2nd gen voodoo’s??

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe all 2019's had the Gen II engines. Mine was built in Feb 2019 and has the Gen II. Chassis #113.

    Shifter

    From what I understand, yes. The faulty part has been replaced by the manufacturer, so your 2020 should be fine.

    Good information. BMW's have the same system. It works. Glad you solved your issue!!

    Buying a 19gt350, thoughts?

    I too had a 2013 GT500 and traded it for the 2019 GT350. Other than low end torque, the GT350 is miles ahead of the GT500 in all categories. I've got 5K on my 19 and love it more each day. Great handling, awesome brakes, and far more features and creature comforts than the GT500 offered. The...

    Oil Consumption Issues 2019+

    You do realize that this discussion concerns the Shelby GT350's Voodoo engine? However, glad your 2019 Mustang convertible uses no oil and you're pleased with it! LOL!

    Oil Consumption Issues 2019+

    I have 3K plus miles on my 2019 GT350. Other than the long delay for steering wheel acquisition and the shifter needing to be replaced due to the vendors screw up, it's been a great car! It has not used a drop of oil since I got it. Changed oil at 1K miles and since then I've been driving it...

    Winter tires help

    You made my case. It is definitely a trade off with tires and ceramic brake pads. BMW's are famous for dusting, but boy do they stop! If the OP isn't spending lots of time at the track, then The tires I bought will serve him well on public streets.

    Winter tires help

    I have a 2019 GT350. I live in Maryland and drive it year round as long as the roads are dry and free of salt. I wanted an all season tire as the summer only tires that come on all GT350's are downright dangerous when temps drop below 50 degrees. I spoke with Ford Performance and also a race...

    Need advice!

    Hmmmm. interesting dilemma. I had a 07, 11, and 13 GT500. These cars were great for power and fun to drive. I don't think the Shelby would make a good daily driver. I sold my 2013 this summer and now have a 19 GT350. The GT350 certainly isn't as quick as the Shelbys were, but it's a lot more...

    The best facts on a 2019 Shelby GT350 (great car)

    This article conveniently leaves out the fact that these new Cup 2's on the 2019 GT350 tramline like a mother and add significant resistance to steering wheel input. Even at the comfort mode the steering requires quite a bit of heft on correction inputs. These tires are fine for a smooth race...

    Shifter

    After 36 days of waiting, my Ford OEM shifter showed up at the dealership!! Good thing I purchased the MGW shifter a couple days after my 2019 Shifter crapped out. Now I have a new, updated, GT350 shifter to hang on the wall!
