I currently own a 2015 Mustang GT which I absolutely love. I daily it all year round, including the snow, even though I have another I could drive in the interim. I ordered my GT with the intention of it being a track car and daily, so I ordered the base GT with Recaros and the spoiler delete. I didn't opt for the performance package($4700 in Canada) simply because I felt I could use that money to buy mods. I have around 7k miles on my GT.
Ever since I saw the GT350 at the auto show, I couldn't get over how amazing it looked and what it offered equipment wise. A couple of weeks ago, I went to my local Ford dealer and started up a GT350 and I couldn't believe how loud it was stock. It was equally as loud as my Borla ATAK GT imo. I was able to coax them into letting me test drive it, but I was only able to drive it around for a few miles. Not enough to get a real impression. Initial impressions were the engine sounds great and it handled way sharper than both my GT and Laguna Seca did.
Here is the thing, I love my GT and I don't really have any real complaints about it. I will being doing an HPDE in a couple of weeks, and then every weekend after that. (I live 40min from Mosport.) I do think the GT350 will be a better car with my intended goals. There is only one dealer that has a track package GT350 equipped exactly with the options and color I want in Canada. Its due to arrive any day now. Sadly that dealer is about 2200 miles away from me. Ordering a 2017 is not an option for me as competition orange has been discontinued and I want the car now. I do want to trade the GT in, but with the dealer so far away this poses a problem for me. I guess I can always trade my GT in on the RS I ordered.
What are your thoughts? Keep my GT or go for the GT350?
