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.
Where do you buy the auto-blip unit and how do you install it

Hmmm, maybe not such great idea to use my incoming gt350 as a DD? Hopefully Florida people won't know the difference between rental car mustangs and gt350.

Basically tapping into 6 wires and calibrate the unit. 2-3 hours taking your time.

Oh they will, especially when they hear it! The Mustang is known throughout the masses due to a large number in ownership as opposed to Porsche. People are more familiar with the models and the aftermarket is insane.

I'm in Florida you're making a mistake on DD. When I first got the car I thought it could be a good DD - then I see the cellphones, thumbs up, and constant attention. It looks nothing like the Mustangs (entire front chassis is much wider to accomodate 295's - only thing it shares is the headlights which sit 2 inches lower in the body. In 3 months of driving i've probably had over 100 interactions with people asking about the car (roughly 3 to 5 per day).

When you have an old lady behind you at a stoplight peering over her steering wheel squinting at your car trying to figure out what it is...it's quite clear that you will never be able to stay under the radar lol.

Also gas mileage is dreadful (not sure if you care).

Did I mention cop magnet?

GT350 owners be careful the wheels are being targeted by criminals (I figured this was going to happen with the $14,000 dollar set on the GT350R - main reason I wanted nothing to do with the car) but it seems the non R version is not safe either. Just a heads up.

Para, enough already. It's a really neat mustang. That's about it. It's worth the 60k that it's selling for. No more.
I would spend 20k more on a new zo6 with a mt
over it any day, and I don't even like vettes...

Maybe if they took 500lbs off the GT350 I might be interested. It's just a big HP porker in my eyes.

The sad thing is, with the current GT350 ADM's and base-model Z06, there isn't even the $20k difference. It's insane.

Again, I dug it in my brief test drive. But its an awesome $58K car, not $70K car.

First of all don't call me "boy", if you knew what I did to earn money you would feel like a fool.

Second, yes I love the GT350 - not everyone has to.

Finally - I also love Porsches, the 911 has outlasted every vehicle in my garage, and pairs beautifully with my GT350. I'm very happy with both.

No I don't like the Cayman, I had a Cayman S PDK in my garage for 36 hours from Porsche as a loaner, it was boring. With that i'm sure the GT4 is superior track car - it's mid engine, powerful and very lightweight.

60k would indicate a 3k ADM, not sure i'd do it but definitely worth a lot more. I personally negotiated a 5k ADM down to no ADM and obviously very ecstatic with the car.

The upcoming GrandSport Corvette has my attention...

I had a C6 Grand Sport. Should've kept it for what I got on trade. Dumb move. Moving on, my 991 GT3 is King. I'd like a GT 350 too. Especially for cost. It's impossible for me to enjoy a car more than my GT3 though. Porsche Rules

Oh well, I'll treat mine like a mustang rental car. See how long it stays in the garage.
