Drag racing is dumbConnie won't like the PP2 car with a stick. Because it'll lead to slow ET at the drag strip.
2020 Ford GT500 Unveiled
- Thread starter Mook
- Start date
But it's not an exotic...it's a ford. And it can't compete with the other domestics in the same price bracket (650hp zl1, and 700hp hellcat).
Why does 500+ hp n/a have to be exotic to be considered not underwhelming?
We get your upset at the price. Leave price out of it. The car was designed for road course use and does well at it. Why are you made it doesn't drag race well and feel the motor is underwhelming? Especially since you yourself said drag racing is dumb! lol
Dude
How can the price not matter
These cars LITERALLY compete almost entirely on price and performance. The shit resale of the gt350 is proof of that. Even the zl1, which is a camaro (not known for strong sales), has held its price at over $50k on the used market (comparing low mile gt350's to low mile zl1's).
Here's my all-encompassing statement, zero ambiguity: For a $65k ford, the gt350's engine AND transmission (yes I went there) are both underwhelming. It is pretty though, and after taking the initial 30% depreciation hit in the first year, it's a good buy.
You are not going to admit the GT350 is a good car and the motor isn't underwhelming. Which is my point. Even though you already said at used prices it is the car.
You are so stuck on the price that you can't see it is a damn good car and the engine isn't underwhelming. You are hating on it because of the price. Period.
People don't shop dodge cars for road racing based on the price. They don't shop them at all for road racing. lol So someone who wants a car to enjoy on the road course isn't interested in the Challenger. Even though it is cheaper. There is a reason all the reviews take the GT350 over the GT PP2 on road courses. There is more to it than track times. Porsche people love the GT3 over the Turbo even though the Turbo make better, more useable power and are cheaper second hand. Not everyone wants the most power they can get on a road course. There is a lot more it than that. You road course your bike, you more than anyone should know it's not just about power.
I also just read that only like 750 ZL1 1LE cars were probably produced. Some said much lower than that number. So it would seem the number of 1LE sold shows the number of people who were buying the ZL1 for road course use was pretty slim. My guess more of them are on the drag strip than the road course. So again, buyers wanting different things than what the GT350 would be good at.

The ZL1 is the DIRECT competitor to the gt350 thats why it was brought up. Also Im not even sure why used car prices are being brought up when we're talking new to new...
Ill take one at sticker! Ive bought so many cars from Gomez I lost track and the greedy bastard wont sell his to me at sticker...
I told you sticker JG! Invoice was me yanking yer chain...
You guys are a trip. The GT500 is gonna be badass. The GT350 is fun as hell to drive for what it is and the sound it makes is eargasmic. They are both great cars.
I love driving my boss302 and the gt350 is much nicer so I can imagine
Agreed, his voice is so fucking annoying. I think he's trying to be some BBC documentary fuckstick.
