LR 01 Cobra Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 What's the GT 350 going to cost? I herd it will be at the New York Auto show! 4.6 SC Engine. More rumors to think about! LOL Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastbackman Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 If it has a supercharged 4.6, that would be a great alternative to the GT500! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have a feeling it is not! But I really don't know. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColdwaterHotrod Posted April 5, 2006 Report Share Posted April 5, 2006 I agree if it's the 03/04 Cobra motor. But I have a feeling it is not! But I really don't know. Tim That would be smart & profitable on Ford's behalf. The motor would have already passed the durability issues & the chassis has already proven it can hold the POWER of the GT500. This would allow them to go straight into production with minimal changes & maybe even spark a revolution with SHELBY's. Then & only then will they announce the pricing for the GT500 & the GT350 at the same time...How cool would that be? :D What a way to make a come back Carroll! :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fastbackman Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 I'm surprised nobody has seen any GT350 mules running around yet. On second thought, maybe some of what we've been seeing is GT350 mules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On second thought, maybe some of what we've been seeing is GT350 mules. That's what I was thinking when Robert published that the Mules we were seeing running around with 4.6L were the GT350 Disguised as a GT500. Other than the motor,sway bars, springs, shocks & decals, I think they will be one in the same car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT350H Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 A friend who works at Ford (engine developement) has seen the Mustang SC 4.6 in the shop. There must be some mules around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things I noticed from the photo's (and I'm guessing based on the quality of the photos) 1. Their is a GT500 front air dam spliter 2. Their are Special Emblems on the front fenders 3. Their is a what appears to be OUR HOOD from the PROTO-TYPE Shelby on this car (WTF) 4. California style Side Scoops in front of the rear wheels?

DutchGT500 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 But it appears to have a Mustang GT grille without the fogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Slick737 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 But it appears to have a Mustang GT grille without the fogs. I think this is what we are all looking at here. I found this pic on another site. The Hood Deifinately is the same as the SHELBY CS6 Concept. Has the same Hood Pins las the CS6 concept So it appears to be the Hertz Rent a Racer Program. As for a us hoping for a GT350. It would be extremely easy to do. Why blow a 4.6L V8 ? For the Extra HP of course. But here is a thought: Step 1: Production of the GT500 Step 2: Leave everything the same as the GT500, but take of the supercharger. you have a 5.4L V8 under the hood with lots of power. Step 3: Change the Side stripes to say GT350 instead of GT500 Project COMPLETE And Price of the GT350 would come in at 4 to 5K less than the GT500. Sounds like an easy thing to do. Hope Ford Listens. Just my 2 cents :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt5001 Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 Is it clear that Ford built this car or Shelby? If Shelby, I doubt you'll see a detuned GT500. I bet the Hertz car will have only a few more than 300HP, if any more at all. However, Mustang GT sales are slowing. So if this is a Ford production unit, it might be an a limited SE to push GT sales a bit and mollify some of the anger created by the GT500. I believe if Ford is to build it and very many of them, there would be more leaks, spy shots, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also checked Shelby Autos website to try and find any info. but they didn't have any info about this car. I would think it is Shelby Autos that is doing this car. Just because it has the CS6 hood. They did mention on the Shelby Autos site that they have lots of projects in the works that they can not discuss right now... Its a cool lookin Car !!!

Hertz will probably keep a few of them... but I am sure they will sell off the rest of them once they are done with them. Sell them Back to FORD and then into the hands of a wanting customer a yr or two from now. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gt5001 Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 If Shelby should build this car - white w/blue stripes like the 65 & 66's and autograph the glovebox for $32-$35K - the company would sell a ton to old guys like me who as a teen/20-something wanted the original. I suspect some of the GT500 crowd would be interested too. Jjump the HP say 25 and improve the handling and I would rather have the GT350 than the 500. The latter is a production car; it's going to travel down the same production line as the V6 Mustang. My only condition would be the option to delete the that Pep Boys rear wing. Can't believe the Hertz car has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could check around and see if there are any CSX-T Shadows laying around anywhere! Actually, the GT350H may be reason enough for me to jump ship and go bug the Hertz guys for a job!

chilli bullitt Posted April 9, 2006 Report Share Posted April 9, 2006 When I toured the Shelby facility in Nov. 04 while at SEMA they had a white 05 GT up on the lift being tore down for what we were told was an "updated GT350". They wouldn't go into specifics at the time but they said they had a long wish list for the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
