Gt500 vs Gt350

When the gt500 is announced and it has 750+ hp, it's it going to be gt350 trade worthy? What are some of you thinking?

If there ever was a car that would have the highest chance(however small) of stopping me from Jones'ing for the next best thing, it's the GT350. The car gives a unique experience than most cars. You've got Z06's, Hellcats, and GT500 that gives you insane speed. You've got Miatas and BRZ's that give you a cheap, lightweight corner loving experience, and you've got exotics who give you that filthy rich, quick, and stunning performance and beauty unattainable by most people, and then you've got the GT350, who is in its own class because it gives you a piece of all of the above.

If I wanted 700hp+ id likely just get a GT PP and slap a blower on it. I wanted a high revving screaming angry V8, so any potential FI GT500 is simply not on my radar.

Couldn't care less about the GT 500.

Nothing will touch the gt350 for a while if ever and for damn sure not the R. Ford has set the bar pretty high now. And unfortunately raising that bar is bumping against regulations set forth by the smart people in Washington.

NA or nothing

I'd trade in FIVE GT350's for one new GT500, whenever it is announced. The GT350 is here just to tide us over for big brother.

What if the GT500 was faster on track than the 350 (like the Porsche Turbo is faster than a GT3?)

What if it was slower on track and more of a straight line focused machine like a Hellcat?

Uh, no.

The GT350 is for people who wanted a truly sporting Mustang for (winding) road and (circuit) track, as opposed to the raison d'être of the GT500, which is a BarcaLounger on wheels meant for cruising the street or racing at the strip.

I wouldn't consider the GT350 anyone's little brother, just like I don't consider the Boss 302 to be inferior to the previous GT500.

Doesn't matter. Porsche guys view the Turbo much like most GT350 owners view the GT500. A numbers car, a grand tourer. Whether or not it's actually faster on the track is irrelevant the crowd that wants to maximize visceral thrills, which the GT3 (and arguably even the base and S Carrerra models) has in spades over the Turbo.

I kinda wonder if anyone was like "I'm trading my supercharged ZL1 Camaro for a N/A track toy Z/28.

Different customers, and I see this as the same thing.

i have no interest in the new gt500 if its like all the previous ones... been there, done that. About the only thrill i got out of that car was an on ramp onto the highway.

Now if ford comes out and surprises us with a gt500 that can handle well, doesnt heat soak and can put the power down then i would consider it.

I think the 350 is unreal and I look forward to what Ford does
with the gt500, they did not make it easy on themselves.
I would not trade my R for a 500.
Now in the perfect world, I would have the money to have both

What if it was 800 hp TT, AWD

 

[ThreeFiveO]

800hp TT and AWD will probably put it's price way above a 350. I thought the 2014 gt 500 was too much $ for the interior and solid rear axle. I considered buying one but not at 70k. It makes waiting for a 350 and paying 56k look like a steal.
