$109,084 for a GT350


Recommended Posts

You Obviously havent driven in a 2011 GT500.The 2011 GT500 is a totally different car I drove my friends before he modded the hell out of it and I can tell you all one thing think what you want there is no way that a GT350 is going to beat a car like that at the stripe or track period. So you buy one for 50k Fully loaded and yes I can get it for that price add bolt ons 15k. 65k for a car you can do more to or get a GT

 

 

In the spirit of full disclosure I am Dubbs brother, but I was there and your smoking crack if you think any street driven 2011 GT500 is going to outrun this GT350.:confused: I'll put a grand on the 350 over the GT500, SGT or KR on a 75 mile cruise, three (3) passes on the drag strip and three laps around a road course. No changes to the car in between events.

 

Aim for the head?:hysterical: Besides, that one is all rattle, no fangs.

:hysterical3: :bag:

 

 

Thats funny! :hysterical2:

 

Seems someone can't take opinions well at all, maybe you need to change your daily Diet! First off let me say if you put 75K in your GT 500 and it Didn't handle well at all, Show me where he said it didn't handle well at all please exactly what did you do to it? Eibach pro all around Cause that is one Pricey Blower, LOL. And Trust me, I bashed plenty at those who Paid 20K 30K and even 60K over sticker for a 08KR when they came out. Why would you BASH anyone for spending their money as they see fit? Socialist much? And I will say it again, it is all about what is hot at the moment. Right now, I think the only people who Know about the GT 350 is people on this board and some that watch Speed TV. Shelby has orders for about 200 2011 350's, but I only know of about 20 or 25 from this forum who have ordered one.

 

If you look at the car, it looks like a Cross between, well you can use your own Imagination, and For the Record, the KR hood, is a True Functional Ram-Air Hood Yes, and it costs about $16,000 to replace IF you can get a replacement, So get your facts Straight, don't hate cause your car has a NON Function 2002 SS Camaro Hood. I feel for you man, I'd be Pissed if mine had a GM Design Hood Scoop on it, hell didn't the old 79-81 Z28 Have the same hood, And Don't get me going on the Cheezy Cavalier Z24 Side Skirts they threw on it, The only thing you can say is My Chin Spoiler has No Functions, oh Well at least it Look HOTT. Wait, your calling someone ELSE a hater. THATS FREAKIN HYSTERICAL!!!:hysterical:POT/KETTLE my man!

If Someone came up to me and Offered me $120K for my KR, I'd sell it! hell ya, then Go by another one, If you can make a Profit off anything that is alwasy good unless your Shelby right, since you seem to have a big problem with people paying $75k for a 350, But for the few people that can buy a 350, I am sure they will wait a few years Like I did. The Guy who Bought my KR new, Paid 90K for it, Lets just say he lost his ass! Like most the People who Bough them New in 08.

 

Now for your Big Fast Ferrari Out Running 350, Please Post up some Video's (See links below) I'd like to see it out run a Track Prepped Z06! Thats funny cause a Z06 starts at $74,305, then you "track prep" it and it will probably beat a $75k 350. Guess I'm missing your point there - unless it was that an $80k vette will beat a $75k 350. Needless to say, You will have you're ass handed to you by that car. The GT 350, just does not have the Power to weigh ratio to pull the Z06. Now My SGT has very good track times, Handels better than most, and was only 39K new, Now that being said, you paid 75K plus, for a Mustang GT with some GFX and a Blower on it. None of the parts on your car are Special, they are all off the shelf bolt on parts you can put on any GT! And thats different from your SGT how? At lest the KR, has some Unique KR Specific Parts, they may not be the best Looking, (wheels) but yet are only avalibale on a KR. In theory yes, in reality no.

 

Again, My KR, should be at lest a 11.80 car in the Quarter Have not ran it yet, My 2nd GT 500, Put down almost 600RWP and was Running 11.29 at 127 with DR's only mods where Pulley, CAI and a Tune. What was your 60'? Hell most 500's with a new Blower put down Close to 800! Now take that to your Little 500 Somethig, and 75K plus Money. I ran a 12.49 at 119 with a 2.2 60' in this car in 40 degree temps on a cold track with 34psi in the rear tires. I am not new too the car market, and I havent seen any 350's making that kind of power at the wheels, I'd like to see a Dyno sheet. See pic below. Again, not trying to offend, all in Good Humor, and if I make the Bash, I'd be Happy to line them up at the Drag Strip, U Better pack a lunch!

 

As for the Boss 302, Yes I think the Silver and Red car is a Much Better Looking car than the 350! Hands Down, hell post it on any Board in the Country you will see which one comes out on top. I have seen a 350 in Person, and to me, it looks Just as BAD! YOu can't fix Ugly! From the Wheels to what ever Fiberglass part they put on it. I do Like the Motor, and the Interrior, the rest should, well just fall off the car!

 

Sorry guys, Hate me if you want, but I'm Holding my Ground on this one! :sos::titanic:If you say so :hysterical::hysterical2:

 

 

 

 

watch the video from 2:30. He runs a 2:09 second lap. He is a professional and his car is STUPID fast!

 

Warren's non race preped 2011 GT350 Watch the video from 14:09 (after he clears traffic). He runs a 2:08 second lap. He is a scrub driver and his car is STUPID fast!

 

Here is the time slip from the drag strip. As you can see, the 60' left a LOT of room for improvement! :bag: IMAG1288.jpg

 

Warren was car #9. 537HP 429 TQ on a Mustang dyno, so add 8-12% to get dynojet #'s (with 100% humidity I might add) As you can see, we had three 2011 GT500's there putting out LESS HP.

It's okay though. We still like you :petting:

Right now, I think the only people who Know about the GT 350 is people on this board and some that watch Speed TV. Slow down there for a sec...you are saying spending 75k total on a mustang is pricey, Im saying, buy a 55k GT500 and add 20k in mods, and it still wont beat the 350...NOT spend 75k on a 55k GT500....lets just get that straight.

 

If you look at the car, it looks like a Cross between, well you can use your own Imagination, and For the Record, the KR hood, is a True Functional Ram-Air Hood, So get your facts Straight, don't hate cause your car has a NON Function 2002 SS Camaro Hood.

Wrong. The hood is functional, brake scoops are functional and side scoops on rocker panel are fully functional. My chin scoop was functional for taking out a cone, but hey, mine is 200.00 yours is 2000.00

 

If Someone came up to me and Offered me $120K for my KR, I'd sell it! hell ya, then Go by another one, If you can make a Profit off anything that is alwasy good, But for the few people that can buy a 350, I am sure they will wait a few years Like I did. The Guy who Bought my KR new, Paid 90K for it, Lets just say he lost his ass! Like most the People who Bough them New in 08. My point exactly, but I bet you would just take the money and smile, not call him a retard for doing it.

 

Now for your Big Fast Ferrari Out Running 350, Please Post up some Video's I'd like to see it out run a Track Prepped Z06! Needless to say, You will have you're ass handed to you by that car.

None of the parts on your car are Special, they are all off the shelf bolt on parts you can put on any GT! At lest the KR, has some Unique KR Specific Parts, they may not be the best Looking, (wheels) but yet are only avalibale on a KR. You will just have to wait for the TV show like everyone else, but a Z06 is in it, and Im not worried about the outcome. And dude, dont even try to compare the SGT to the 350...I ate those all day on the track with the GT500, and this car does to the stock 500s what the 500s did to the SGTs... While you are at it....why pay a premium at all for a mustang...dude, are you even a Shelby fan? of course you pay extra for a Shelby name. If you bought a mustang and put all the bolt ons, isnt it general knowledge that it would be cheaper? Do you think you are leaking industry secrets? I wanted a SHELBY GT350, not a modded Ford Mustang 5.0. I have a BOSS LS on order through Mac Haik Ford in Georgetown, TX. Why? ....Why not? I'll be sure to let you know how the two compare.

 

Again, My KR, should be at least a 11.80 car in the Quarter Have not ran it yet, My 2nd GT 500, Put down almost 600RWP and was Running 11.29 at 127 with DR's only mods where Pulley, CAI and a Tune.

Again, not trying to offend, all in Good Humor, and if I make the Bash, I'd be Happy to line them up at the Drag Strip, U Better pack a lunch! A stock KR pulling 11.8s? If you say so. I cant explain why the 5.0 outperforms with lower numbers on HP and much less Torque, and yet it still drives like mad on the track.

 

As for the Boss 302, Yes I think the Silver and Red car is a Much Better Looking car than the 350! Hands Down, hell post it on any Board in the Country you will see which one comes out on top. I have seen a 350 in Person, and to me, it looks Just as BAD! YOu can't fix Ugly! From the Wheels to what ever Fiberglass part they put on it. I do Like the Motor, and the Interrior, the rest should, well just fall off the car! Okay, but understand that if you start insulting what OTHER people think looks great, you cant expect us to stand by and not defend our likes and loves. You can say " I think the KR is the best looking Shelby ever made, and I would reply "Yeah, the KRs are great cars!" But when you say " I have seen a 350 in Person, and to me, it looks Just as BAD! YOu can't fix Ugly! From the Wheels to what ever Fiberglass part they put on it" , then you have crossed a line my friend. I dont go up to my friends and when they introduce their wives go, "Your wife is ugly." Maybe she is, or maybe my wife is just better looking, but Im not gonna say that to them. Im only wasting my time telling you this because apparently you dont understand what you are saying is insulting. I have a duty here to not be a flamer, but geez man....cant you just let us enjoy our own cars? Every time we have a conversation about the 350, you gotta jump in and tell us how much you hate it. Good for you...we get it. You dont like the car. I get the feeling you are the type of guy that walks into a party and as soon as you walk into the room it feels like 5 people left. The KR section is one more category down.

 

Sorry guys, Hate me if you want, but I'm Holding my Ground on this one! I dont hate you, you are free to have an opinion, but again, if you think it might be insulting maybe you just shouldnt say it. You obviously recognize it, because you always end your opinion with an apology or how you are gonna take a hit for it.

Wrong, my car against a 2011 GT500 with the SVTPP and a professional driver could not keep up. Just ask SVTTIM, he was the driver, and drove both cars on the same day.

 

But yes, thank you for your service!:salute:

Wow guys this is getting hot. Look all I said was that 110k is too much for a GT Mustang period and if anyone pays that kind of price is crazy period. The GT350 is a beautiful car but there is no way in hell that car can beat my friends 2011 GT500 or any that is modified, he spent a total of 80k he bought ford racing whipple, full suspension, exhaust, brake upgrade and he still daily drives it. He is close to 800 to the wheels. That car is kicking the crap out of Z06's modified so I dont know if you car can do it I would love to see it though.

You are right Chris, I just cant understand why we cant just ALL love our own Shelbys and let everyone else love theirs?!:headscratch: There are things I love about all the different builds, and things I dont like at all about every one of them, but no car is perfect or you would never want another. Eventually, if you come on EVERY SINGLE thread in a car section and complain that you dont like the car and have no positive comments, its going to require a response, and I just cant let it go time after time after time. Im not mad, just saying what needs to be said.:salute:

Hey Dubbs I cant remember if it was you I talked to that needed clips for the KR trunk liner for his GT500. If so it was me that sent them to you. I have no grudge or anything I love Shelbys heck I love Mustangs and I know your car is bad ass you did pay a fair price for yours since parts and labor do cost. I never saw a GT350 heck havent been in the states in a while. Looking forward to seeing those beautys and seeing what they can do. But just to let everyone know these 5.0's are no joke.

Oh yeah, I totally forgot, and thank you again for them! Another thing I forgot to pull back out of the car...LOL

Yeah, not at all directed towards you though, so I hope it doesnt come off that way. I dont know about specific GT500s or any specific car that has been modded. Im just saying, a stock 2011 GT500 SVTPP could not keep up at the vegas track, and neither could any of the super snakes, although I just cant recall seeing a 2011 SS out there which puts out numbers like your buddy's. I frankly didnt expect to see the performance that the GT350 has when I dropped my deposit. Like you, and anyone else with common sense, a 5.4 putting out 725hp should beat a 5.0 putting out 624hp. But just copare 0-60 times, road course times and you begin to see the truth in it, whether that makes sense or not, I know I cant explain why, but thats why I took my car 1500 miles to vegas for the bash. Its a great place to benchmark, because we go there every year, and can compare lap times apples to apples. That said, I heard Roger say at the banquet that a 1000HP supersnake could happen in the near future, and that is whole new ball game we are talking. Thats the wildcard about GT500s, the 5.4 is able to take mods so far above any other build. Im at my limit with 624HP Whipple, but, compared to supersnakes with 800hp, it still does better on a road course. I wont see much better times no matter what I do, and my car is pushing the edge of its ability but that is turn key and out the door that fast. Truly a great build. I know on an oval, my car would be left in the DUST, especially vs. a car with a 3.31 gear ratio. I cant say anything contrary to that, but I really cant wait to get a nice mild day on the strip and run my car on the 1/4. I really believe the 624hp GT350 will break into the 10s, but that is pure speculation until I get the day to try it out on. Soon...very soon. I agree with 110k being too much to pay for a car you can buy yourself for 70k. Remember, I spent an extra 5k on painted stries, and that didnt make it any faster. So, yeah, a 40k premium is hard to swallow, but if you just cant wait, and the guy selling can get 150k for it, I wont fault him for making a GREAT business decision.:salute:

Offer still stands. Get to Pa and u can drive mine when it's fixed.

 

$$$ is a funny thing. I guarantee that everyone on this forum spends money on some things today that 5, 10, 20 or for some of us 30 years ago we would have never even thought about spending money on those same things. Remember back when we had some change to spend at the local candy shop or convenience store and the massive amount of time we would spend trying to decide exactly what candy was worthy of our coins? Should we get the small fancy candy, the candy that would last the longest or the penny candy so we could get more pieces of candy? How much time do you currently spend picking out your candy or gum? Worth has different meanings to each of us based on our current demographics - therefore each of us determines our own value for everything.

Looking forward to seeing that car back on the road Tony. Should have plenty of time not coming home till the end of the year and there might be a possibility of them sending me to Afghanistan so it looks like my car will be sitting for a long time. I will definitly take you up on that offer when im back. Take care TS Family :salute:

But what I am reading is, that it is ok for you to have Comments about my 16K dollar KR hood, and Chin poliler, but when I say I hate the 350 it's not ok? Just want to clarify.

My 60's on my GT 500 where 1.60's, At fayetteville NC, And Rockingham NC. I actually won the first SVT Club event held. I think it was 07/08 the trophy is in the Basement.

 

And I asked for a Dyno sheet not a time slip, of a Chalk board with some Blue Ink on it. And am a Huge Shelby fan, always have been, that iswhy it is easy for me to say I don't Like the looks of the 350. I have seen to

many nice cars come from Shelby, I found it hard to believe that this was the best they could do. The only thing it has going for it is it's LOW prodution Numbers, it may actually help it in he future.

 

Again, I am not Trying to hate on Shelby, Just not a Big fan of this car is all. If you can't take others opinions, stay off the internet! And for the Record, a 2006-08 Z06 can be had for about 50K, Put some tires on it, and you have an ass Whoppig Z06! Now I am a True GM hater, My First car was a 65 289 HIPO Coupe, owned a 66 Shelby GT 350, 2 07 GT 500's, and a Shelby GT, Current cars 08KR, 3 93 Cobras, 95 Cobra I bought new,my old 79 Pace Car, and a New SHO! But GM has the Ball with the Z06!

 

My Frst GT 500 went 12.20 Bone Stock, wheel hopping all to hell. It now has a Kenny bell and runs 10's, I am Just waiting to see how long these 350's stay together, the High compressions SC Motor is a Time bomb, Time will tell. I Just can't wait to catch my First 14 Second GT 350 at the track, I am sure most guys who bought them, have no clue how to drive them.

But what I am reading is, that it is ok for you to have Comments about my 16K dollar KR hood, and Chin poliler, but when I say I hate the 350 it's not ok? Just want to clarify.

My 60's on my GT 500 where 1.60's, At fayetteville NC, And Rockingham NC. I actually won the first SVT Club event held. I think it was 07/08 the trophy is in the Basement.

 

And I asked for a Dyno sheet not a time slip, of a Chalk board with some Blue Ink on it. And am a Huge Shelby fan, always have been, that iswhy it is easy for me to say I don't Like the looks of the 350. I have seen to

many nice cars come from Shelby, I found it hard to believe that this was the best they could do. The only thing it has going for it is it's LOW prodution Numbers, it may actually help it in he future.

 

Again, I am not Trying to hate on Shelby, Just not a Big fan of this car is all. If you can't take others opinions, stay off the internet! And for the Record, a 2006-08 Z06 can be had for about 50K, Put some tires on it, and you have an ass Whoppig Z06! Now I am a True GM hater, My First car was a 65 289 HIPO Coupe, owned a 66 Shelby GT 350, 2 07 GT 500's, and a Shelby GT, Current cars 08KR, 3 93 Cobras, 95 Cobra I bought new,my old 79 Pace Car, and a New SHO! But GM has the Ball with the Z06!

Wow, that is harsh and you don't even know me.

 

Where are you located? I know I can't drive worth a s**t, maybe you could give me some lessons.

I think 5 more people just left the room! :hilarious:

 

 

Warren,

 

You have a topshelf Shelby. I saw Gary Patterson take the GT350 around the track at Infineon during SAAC-35 last August and even though I really like my 2011 GT500 SVTPP coupe, it and most other Shelby's will be challenged to keep pace with the 350. For those who doubt it's performance, please reserve criticism until you have witnessed it first hand. If you don't like the looks, well that's in the eye of the beholder.

ok GET READY my review after the bash:

 

 

LOOKS MUCH BETTER IN PERSON!!!!! I swear I would not have believed it but its true.....do I want one, no I'm good with my car...did I pass one yes...but thats not saying much I also passed a Lambo at Portland....

 

If youre in thats cool....enjoy the 350 its pretty special....they all are.

 

Sounds killer in person as well....I think that SA did as good as they could with the body Ford made.....I swear its the only new one where the rear lights look OK to me...

 

I will believe the performance when I see the slips and reviews which I know from the bash are forthcoming in the press...

 

I was also told that nothing spanks it with a pro driver behind the wheel compared to other Shelbys....this also I am waiting to see this as well....

 

Spent tonight looking at 71 429 Mach 1's for my wife on the net....thats where I'm at....Not my favorite year but its for my wife...I mention this for perspective only....I am not much of a new car guy....for the money (that this one sold for) I think I'd pony up and get the ZR1 at this level of new car....sorry but its the truth or a SGT/SC...wait already have one...happy%20feet.gif

In the spirit of full disclosure I am Dubbs brother, but I was there and your smoking crack if you think any street driven 2011 GT500 is going to outrun this GT350.:confused: I'll put a grand on the 350 over the GT500, SGT or KR on a 75 mile cruise, three (3) passes on the drag strip and three laps around a road course. No changes to the car in between events.

 

 

 

Thats funny! :hysterical2:

 

 

 

 

 

watch the video from 2:30. He runs a 2:09 second lap. He is a professional and his car is STUPID fast!

 

Warren's non race preped 2011 GT350 Watch the video from 14:09 (after he clears traffic). He runs a 2:08 second lap. He is a scrub driver and his car is STUPID fast!

 

Here is the time slip from the drag strip. As you can see, the 60' left a LOT of room for improvement! :bag: IMAG1288.jpg

 

Warren was car #9. 537HP 429 TQ on a Mustang dyno, so add 8-12% to get dynojet #'s (with 100% humidity I might add) As you can see, we had three 2011 GT500's there putting out LESS HP.

It's okay though. We still like you :petting:

 

 

 

1g huh?

 

With Warren driving?

 

Ever see Two Lane Blacktop?

And I fully respect comments like this. I certainly dont mind if people dont like the way the car looks. Or even if there is a question about its performance, as all should be question until you see hard data. But simply complaining about the car in every thread we discuss it doesnt make me very tolerant, and I want to enjoy my car, and share my experiences here in the GT350 section which is what it is for. That other GT350 out there I think everyone passed. The owner, Chris, was sure a nice guy, but I heard from several people he wasnt hitting the turns well at all. I know he was taking it pretty easy though since the first track day was his 14th mile in the car. I would have been pretty aprehensive too, if I took delivery during the bash. I think it took me 3 or 4 days to really figure out how to drive the 350, and even then, I had some learning curve my first session on the track. You were driving in class 2, so we never crossed paths, but maybe next year we can run at the same time.:salute: It was great to meet you and your dad, Mike! I will be in Seattle in May. Maybe I will see you around up there!
