I have a Avalanche Grey 2017 on order. IMO the 2017's are the ones to have if you're not getting an R.

Yes, the fit and finish isn't as nice as porsche but jesus christ, I'm paying $58k out the door for the thing WITH convenience package. You cannot beat this kind of value. The R is worth every penny of the $13.5k for the package because the carbon bits alone are worth more than that.

Its a superb package all around. Ford hit it out of the park. I'll have mine in 6 weeks or so. VIN issued and waiting on production.

Congrats to all who have one! Please post pictures of a Ruby Red if anyone has one. I'm lusting after that color at the moment.

 

Camaro tests out better than the Mustang handling-wise , but the Mustang sure looks better....

 

Link?

 

Handling, yes I know its a GT:

We've been discussing the new Shelby GT350 here - the Mustang GT is a nice car but it has as about has much in common with a GT350 as the 997 Carrera does with a GT3 RS 4.0

 

Thing is that the Camaro is universally acknowledged as a better handling car than the Mustang. The new platform simply kicks butt handling-wise. Flame on....adios

 

I wouldn't know - the only Chevy I like is the Corvette Grandsport.

I'm sure it's very competitive I just can't stand the car - with the LED's it looks like lipstick on a pig.

 

This would be a better comparo,

 

If gt350 prices stay elevated, the new corvette grand sport might be the track car to buy

 

Definitely first mod on the list: http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cult...arket-exhaust/


Full hooligan mode:

 

Holy krap!

I will say the GT350 and the Boss 302 Laguna Seca are the first Mustangs I felt were perfect out of the box (maybe a short throw shifter would be nice to give a more mechanical notchy feel even with the GT350 - MGW makes a great product and just came out with one) - that exhaust is insane though. The GT350 is too good for me to mess with but I would love to hear this in person if it's that good might be worth it for me.

 

I have a '17 on order. 8/1 production. Holy hell that's gonna make me happy!

 

Sport mode mate - should be plenty of race car for you. If not maybe pull the resonators like they did on the R (I haven't as it sounds perfect as is) - if that doesn't work these Longtube header systems are available.

A friend of mine has ordered the Kooks LT's for his GT350 Track Pack. I'll report back once I hear it in person.

0630 and it's Sunday here - time to take the Shelby for a morning drive!
