JeffJ Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 What about the Chrome Emblem high on the front fender behind the scoop? That says GT350. There's a clear shot of that in the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helix Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Not that the name of the video is related to the badging on the car, or for that matter any interior emblems... ..however, the video titled calls it a "Shelby GT350" and opens with a video of Mr. Shelby himself. They claim, "Lives up to the legacy" I'd assume they aren't running off with the GT350 name and calling it a day. I think this thing looks incredible.

twobjshelbys Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 "Ford is promising that it will be the most powerful naturally-aspirated production engine it has ever built, pumping out more than 500 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque." Does this mean NO Super Charger? Ford will leave a lot on the table for the aftermarket. Note that the Boss302 didn't have a supercharger either. As a track car it doesn't really need it. It's about handling not horsepower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gene64cobra Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 that is one sweet car. sadly the ADM will knock me out........ but by 2018 I should be able to get one... :happy feet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hawkins Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 That says GT350. There's a clear shot of that in the video. It could be that everyone will continue to call it a "SHELBY" GT 350 even if it is actually a "FORD" GT 350. Remember the new Ford "GT40" is actually just a "Ford GT" but everyone still calls it a "GT40". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach 1 1970 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Wow that's one sweet car and can't wait to get my ass in one. Way to go SVT that's a grand slam. That silver paint really shows off the wonderfull curves and flares. I can't wait to see all the stuff Ford brings to the race track in the next few years. Look out Le Mans here come the Ford boys in LP 2 and maybe a GT 350R. Would that be great or what. Maybe even Daytona 24 this January. Multimatic Mustang and Scott Pruitt in GTP.

twobjshelbys Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 The GT350 does not have SHELBY on it. Given the announcement today at Shelby in Gardena I expect we'll see what Shelby will be doing to the 2015 Mustang and maybe what their plans are for the after market for the GT350. Gonna be exciting. Wish I could have been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach 1 1970 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Did it not have the "Shelby" name on it? I had a 1966 and 1969 Shelby GT 350 in 1980 and no Shelby on the 66 car body only on the ID tag . My 69 had shelby on the intake and body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

39Mustang Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Very interested to know if FORD will offer it with an Automatic as an option? They claim the Mustang is a World car now well all high-end sports cars all come standard with Automatic tranny's from Ferrari, Porsche, Jaguar, Aston Martin, even Corvette so enough with the bullshit about it cannot handle the HP and Torq as the Corvette, the Camaro ZL1, even the Caddy CTS-V all have Automatics and more HP than the GT350 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoChris Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Autoweek email this morning calls it the "Shelby GT350" so it does say Shelby. Shelby snake grill and rear badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mach 1 1970 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 It looks like no more stripes over the roof or on the side. Well I just saw a white one so all the stripes are available. The silver looks good with less stripes and carbon fiber roof or whatever that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ITHERTZ66 Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 Ok, so it had the Shelby name on it. Only the aftermarket intakes had Shelby on them. The originals had "COBRA" intakes and valve covers. The only place the original GT350s had Shelby's name was in one place on the SFM tag - manufactured by shelby american, inc. The 1965 GT350 used the Mustang name and logos including the pony logo here and there (as did the GTH and SGT). They did have a CS racetrack logo on the center cap of the Cragar wheels.

twobjshelbys Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 The GT350 does not have SHELBY on it. I take it back. It does have Shelby on it: The front splitter is embossed with it.

twobjshelbys Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 I'd like to know more about the engine. The flat plane design has been around for a long time but not in a Ford design so they had some work to do. That's probably why the 5.0 went to 5.2 at the same time. I would expect the engine to show up in the FRPP catalog crate engine soon. Second is the magnetic shocks (Magnalev technology). Maybe we can start a tech thread to discuss these... I would but don't know where to do it. Mods, how about a 2016 GT350 subforum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKurgan Posted November 17, 2014 Report Share Posted November 17, 2014 The original GT350 was only a GT350 after the modifications by Shelby. That's what made them elite as a Shelby. Now if Shelby gets it after it's already labeled a Shelby GT350, then what will set it apart to give it that "name"/elite status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, OK...having at least that SFM tag would be good enough for me. I'm reading elsewhere that the new GT350 does indeed have "Shelby" on the front fascia, so that alleviates my concerns about the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
