Ford Mustang GT350
#251
Was lucky to drive my buddy's GT350 for an hour yesterday. The power is just unreal and I felt like I was holding the wheel for dear life on full throttle. Car hits 120+ in a few blinks. Such a nice transmission and brakes. Engine sounds like nothing else. Hard to pin if for one marque or another. Car has 2500 miles on it. Can hear it almost a 1/4 mile away coming to my house! He's talking about putting a Borla on it, but I think he is nuts and it may not be able to run as some tracks with that exhaust. Not as connected feeling as his 991 was, but the Shelby smokes it in performance. I believe he had the oil cooler recall done a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks for the reminder, I still need to get the recall done on my car and recently got another letter from Ford stating that parts are now available.

The GT350 is such a great 'whole package' car. I attended the Ford Performance Track Attack event in Utah on April 18th and experienced the GT350 on the track for the first time, so much fun. I wish we had a local road course as I could do that everyday. I think the stock exhaust in sport mode sounds perfect. Some of the aftermarket exhausts make the car sound like a 'traditional' Mustang, you lose the unique GT350 sound. I'm not even sold on the car without resonators (unless an R which comes without). Some owners have removed them and regretted it after. A nice set of quality long tubes would be nice however.

Ford should put that engine into other models or offer it as a crate engine with the transmission. They are so well paired together.

I am trying to talk some sense into on the exhaust. I thought driving his car around my neighborhood with him standing my driveway so he knows how loud it was would do it... He is somoene who's a little foolish with his money at times. I am taking the GT350 again this weekend. He mentioned how different the car drives with a different steering wheel setting; he wants me to check that out compared to the sports setting. I will gladly drive that car as much as he is willing to let me drive it! Twist my arm...

And no, it doesn't need an exhaust. Mild tune and filter is about it.
