I had both a GT350 and GT4 at the same time. I just sold my GT350, the GT4 is a keeper. While the engine is great in the GT350, the mustang is a big car. Also, at the end of the day the mustang is a rental car with a special engine in it. I guess you really dont know how special the Porsche GT cars are until you compare them to the best Mustangs, Corvettes, etc.

I think a few people are a little sensitive about the GT350 out performing the GT4 and winning this year's 2016 Performance Car of the Year and just about every other automotive award.
Let me know when BMW/Audi/Porsche comes out with a flat plane crank high revving 526hp race motor in a sports coupe with a 6 speed Tremec, MagneRide suspension and fat 295's up front with a violent exhaust note that rivals the best exotics in the world!
I'm sure it's coming soon....

I do envy the Porsche GT cars light weight, and on the track you're right's it a lot - but surprisingly poised. It's a riot on the street too.

When you say stuff like this: "I got a close look at a red GT4 at the Porsche Armada last weekend, very nice car but it should be closer to 65k. I would never pay 100k for a Cayman." you sound ignorant and that gets porsche people going. In fact, if I substituted GT350 into that sentence you would get downright defensive. Oh wait....

Love the cup cars you're showing here - lots of stunning images from Salt Lake City floating around. I will say last night watching the last IMSA lime rock race seeing the GT350 on the big screen is just breathtaking. What a work of beauty.

BTW...I just installed the auto-blip unit in my car to give it rev-matching. I have been testing it out on the street and it works like a charm. It will be fun testing it out at Road Atlanta in a couple of weeks.

Very true.... even though the power of the GT4 is much less than the GT350, that GT4's weight transfer and management speaks in spades at the track specifically on hard turns and heavy braking zones. I have trailed a GT4 on the track and I have personally seen its handling thru sectors clearly better balanced than the GT350... coming out of turns onto the high speed straights is where I make up some ground. At the end of the day, I think a great pair is having both a GT350 (or R) and a GT4 (or GT3 / GT3RS).

Haha..so true! Every time I take the GT350 out for a drive people are pulling there phones out to take pictures and video, thumbs up, asking questions at stoplights, etc. At every fill up at a gas station I never leave without having a conversation about the car.
