So much hate for the GT350 from many who've never driven one. I will agree the car is a torque less pile. But i find myself bouncing off the rev limiter from time to time cause it makes enough power. The car was designed to stay in the revs/rpms, hence why no torque.

The car was really fun to drive when you had the road to open it up. A lot of people like to talk a lot of shit on this site just to get a rise out of others.

I’m not talking shit if you’re referring to me. Just giving my opinion, and for sure don’t care about others feelings. Ymmv

The GT350 engine isn't perfect. But the GT350 was leaps and bounds better handling and braking than any Mustang before it. By far. Hate the engine in it or not, that car started Ford on the path of cars that did more than just go in a straight line ok. You have to respect the car for that. Progression to the new GT500 shows Ford is committed to making a legit world performer.

As far as the price tag, I agree it's hard to justify large jumps I'm the same model. But the Focus RS and GT350/500 shows there are buyers for expensive cars with rock bottom starting price models also available. It will continue.

I just wish Ford would make a pure sports car to fill the gap of Mustang and the, unobtainable for most, Ford GT.

But hey, there are plenty of offerings out there by other brands. As this thread shows.

 

[Z28Camaro]

2022 CT5-V Blackwing. Hopefully this is in the spirit of the thread - not enough budget for the tax but would be fairly close. The want is strong; 6 speed manual and arguably the high water mark of an era for GM.

And itll get walked by the M3/M4 cars for less money too.

Not sure what you mean by “walked”. The CT5-V blackwing is up by about 150 hp and even more if you want a manual trans. The V traps almost 130 in the quarter compared to the M3/M4 at 121. The next C&D lightning lap will be fun to see as we can expect these cars to go head to head. I’m willing to make a friendly wager with you on which will be faster.

And, not even going to get into the looks - it would get old really fast having to walk up backwards every time you approach your M3/M4 because you get dry heaves looking at the front end.

The GT500 gets beat by the M3/M4 too while being up over 200hp.

Dont worry about the front end you wont see it in the rear view.

Lay off the pipe. The GT500 traps almost 10 mph higher.

I realize that this mostly comes down to personal taste but that CT5V just isnt impressive.

GM missed the boat again by sticking the old LT4 in it. Whoopdie do. That thing should have got the twin turbo DOHC V8 Blackwing engine.

Watch the video. Only races it wins are the rolls. Obviously the HP advantage shines more in the roll races too.

You lost all credibility when you posted an Edmunds video.
