    Took delivery about 2 weeks ago. This car is AMAZING.
    Going to have a hard time deciding which one will be driven. I have been DD'ing the gt350, and it is surprising comfortable. The cabin is pretty quiet in regards to wind, road noise, tires, etc. This is a tech. pack car.

    I don't have any plans for mods really. My friend and I will be detailing it this weekend, applying opti-coat, and then returning it back to the dealership for oil change and clear bra application some time next week.

    Went out for groceries, ended up buying a Shelby lol. It was on a remote storage lot, it its own carport:

    Nice! I was looking hard at an Ecoboost Mustang as a DD.

    Thanks. Car has been a blast so far. Gas mileage, not so much but I guess that's to be expected.

    I do have to say, I'm not a mustang guy, or even a ford guy really. We had a v6 mustang as a rental down in FL a few months back, and I loved the car. When we got home, my gf kept telling me "You should be the shelby, you should buy the shelby."

    Love these cars! Congrats! One of the best sounding notes out there. Also, one of the best steering wheels my mits have been on.

    How loud is the exhaust when on the quieter setting?

    inside the car, on "Quiet", the exhaust is very quiet. I wouldn't say Lexus level dead silent, but it is quiet. No drone at all.

    Even on "sport" it's not that loud. Again no drone at all. You can easily carry a conversation on "sport" with the radio on.

    Out side of the car is a very different story!
