    Just made a real impulse purchase, somehow started looking at a "cars likely to appreciate" article and saw the 2015 Shelby GT350.... After spending 2 nights obsessing on the internet, I found one in Pittsburgh.... Number 68 of the run. Drove there Saturday and made the deal......They made 100 regular GT350's and 37 GT350R's... TOTAL for 2015 (Many more made in 2016, but not supposed to have the collect ability factor).......to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Mustang/ Carroll Shelby.

    I pick it up this week.... It has 12k miles but was owned by Ford for testing and marketing, so I am technically the 1st owner... Seems like it will be a pretty cool car ... 562 HP!

    I own 2015 GT350R # 37. Ford did an amazing job with these cars! You're going to absolutely love yours! Mine is fantastic!

    It's nice that yours already has some miles on it, so you can continue to put miles on it versus keeping it in plastic in storage like a lot of guys have done with the 2015's.

    Have a great time with it!

    I was looking for Magnetic no stripe, settled for a black one. Track pack was a must for me as they made about 10 technology cars to every track pack.. and of course yours is even much more rare being a 15. Enjoy :)

    The force is strong with Ford. The Mustang and the Focus RS.....both are cruise missiles aimed at my bank accounts! Even worse; Corvette Zara well all be drooling over in a few months.
     
  18. Your not kidding. A quick google on the Vette said 150k. That's a pretty significant jump over 2016.

    Has anyone driven both the GT350 and the Mustang GT? I'd be curious regarding anyone's impressions of the perceived driving value/feel of ponying up for the Shelby vs the standard Mustang GT.

    I'll assume you mean a GT350 with the magnaride suspension which is a HUGE improvement for both handling and ride quality. The active exhaust also allows you to have your cake and eat it too with a quiet ride and a hellion mode with a very loud and great sound that does not need an improvement.

    With an extra 100hp and 1,000rpm the GT350s engine is in a different league from the GT. Same for the massive brakes which can hold up to track use with OEM pads and a pro driving it.

    More engine, suspension, exhaust, downforce, ... I think it's quite a well-rounded improvement in every aspect over the base GT, and a great value.

    Get a 2017 for the tech features and track coolers (2016 you have to chose one or the other).

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I get all that and don't disagree with any of it. I was just wondering if anyone has driven them both and what are their real world driving impressions.

    Those are my real world driving impressions. Unless you have a more specific question.

    Sorry. Thought your impression was based on specs etc, not having driven both.

    I have a lot of time behind the wheel of GTs, GT350TP & 350Rs -both street and track. The value per dollar of the 350 is excellent and all around is a significantly better car than the GT.
