Shelby GT350
« on: February 17, 2016, 05:02:30 AM »
Got stick up my ass and wanted to add the roush supercharger to my 2015 Mustang GT.  Went to the dealer, saw a black 2016 Shelby GT350.  Drove it, absolutely loved it, traded my GT and got the 350.

Nice! Former Mustang owner here. What was the HP difference between your Roush and the GT?

Trap times in the quarter are slow for the non R. Granted their not set up for quarter mile runs
The Gt350 & R should have come with 4:10's

Ford screwed up the S550 chassis. The stang got heavier and Camaro got lighter

The 6th gen SS already beat the non R on certain laps

Chevy is saying the 6th gen v6 camaro 1le is lapping the same as the 5th gen 1le
The 5th gen 1le put a hurtin on the boss

Im glad Ford stepped up and finally put some rubber on the gt350

Unless your a die hard ford fan I would look at the 6th gen 1le v8

I am impressed with what the voodoo is dynoing with fbo

Hennessey or someone got a voodoo with full bolt ons to dyno 580-620 hp and 480 on the twist at the crank. Impressive

Your coyote has more potential right now than the voodoo.

Two different beast rat....one is a coyote motor muscle car 5.0..this thing is a high reving monster 5.2 flat plane V8.  These cars feel completely different.  Like completely different cars.  

My GT felt and sounded like a muscle car.  The GT350 feels like a race car.  They don't handle anyth8ng alike and they have completely different powerbands.  They just look alike.  The GT350 cost twice as much.  I got the track package on the GT350.

I never did install the roush.  I wanted to, went to dealer to see about it and ended up with this one.  I did intall a full 3 inch exhaust, SW long headres.  It sounded great and let the coyote moter breath.   I was already thinking about changing the suspension on my GT and changing the breaking system on it as well.   To do it right, I would of easily spent 20k on the suspension, breaking and supercharger.  The GT has all that and more.  The only thing I am going to do to the GT350 is get it tinted.

I like the gold racing strip (GT350 H)  but that was not an option.

I don't think it would ruin it, but it seems unnecessary.

Btw, those rims are badass. 8)

Thanks TL, I do like the stripes and it's one of the big things that set aside from other stangs...

My dilemma is I don't want to do anything to change the price on it.  I know original is the best way to keep a car like this.

All I have done to it is tint it. I do not plan to do any mods as this car basically needs nothing!  Bone stock it is super fun to drive!

I would leave the stripes off but that is my personal preference. I like a car murdered out like that. Beautiful ride you have there.

Thanks G, I also did contemplate that it is "murdered out"  and that is a nice look all on it's own. I'm in the fence. ..I just like that shelby racing racing stripes cause it "shelby".......but bottom line...it is a Shelby GT350.

No, leave it plain. It looks great as is. I love your description of it.

@BlackMetallic, the Camaro was a porker when it was on the Zeta platform, and now it's on the Alpha one, which is the same one that the Cadillac ATS is on.
