DubbsFaris Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 I picked up my car October 15, 2010, and took museum delivery option. I have #19, first 624 R tune package. I went with painted stripes, GT350 hood logo, painted down the rear, museum delivery and no other options. I will probably have SA do the rear brakes at some point, or I will do them myself, watts link, one piece drive shaft, safety loops, and short throw shifter. I am also eagerly awaiting a shift knob to match the car in white, blue stripe or white with Shelby name on it in the "correct" six speed configuration with the R reversed on the knob. I have only added an iPod and the engine caps from Project 321 at this point. In front of the house...ignore the halloween decor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsarkis Posted November 15, 2010 Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Looks great. The ground effects are not nearly as over bearing as the advertisements made them look. Dubbs how is the ride quality? Can you compare the new GT350's ride quality to a 2010 GT500, a GTR or a Z06 / ZR1 (My father is thinking of buying a GT350 but is concerned it might drive fairly harsh)? Thanks and enjoy!

DubbsFaris Posted November 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2010 Well, as others who have it have said, We all agree it handles and is tight like a german car really. A bmw m3 is a really good comparison. Ride is not harsh at all, but it isnt quite as soft as the 2010 gt500 simply due to the suspensions each have. That said, it handles better and feels lighter and more agile. I honestly cant compare to a zr1, as I havent rode in one, but drives better and is much faster than a z06. The driveability of this car is an enigma, because it shouldnt be as easy and nice to drive for the power it has, but the way the torque and gearing is, you can have your cruiser and your race car all in one package. I can run low 11s on street tires, and drive it comfortably home 100 miles away and enjoy both. And thats not even the purpose of this car. It is built to dominate the track, and I will provide much feedback on that experience dec 11, at the next open track day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot explain my feeling that way...It just comes to mind when I look at it. I thought about you and Tony as I read through the newest SHELBY mag this morning on the aeroplane. It should be titled simply, "GT350" this issue! Lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should use your car as part of your Holloween decoration next year, because its wicked, scary fast, and Chevy, Mopar, and foreign car owners will be scared of it. All kidding aside, its a beautiful car. I am sure you are not just a lucky guy that owns one, all you GT350 owners earned and diserve them. Take care of her, but I'm sure you allready know that. Happy trails to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cwilder Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Warren I noticed it you sold your GT500? You had 2 at one point did you at least keep one or is the GT350 the horse in the stable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Still have one GT500 in the family. My father bought it, and wants to sell it to me, but I am just ruined for driving the GT500 after driving the 350....its just that much better.
