My Shelby GT350 - Lots of pics!

My cameras just can't seem to get a decent recording of the exhaust, it's just too loud for my setup and overwhelms the microphone.

I'm not a fan of the presenter in this video, but it's probably the best way of hearing how the car sounds.

Skip to 5:45 and watch the following couple of minutes.

 
So I saw one of these in the metal at yesterday's pistonheads Sunday service.

It looked very noice!!
 
How does the GT350 stack up to something like a Charger Hellcat or Challenger Hellcat? They're similar prices but the Hellcat looks like it blows the Mustang away on paper.

Entirely different type of car - this is a car that's as quick, and sometimes quicker round a track than a 911 GT3. The Hellcat's are straight line monsters, and that's it.

I caught the guy as he was coming in and he saw me enthusiastically pointing it out to my friends. I got a few pics of it and he let me sit in it :D.

Haha Hellcats are boats with a lot of power. The GT350 will murder it on a track or road course and a GT PP will be a pretty close rival to it.

All it takes for a GT to beat a hellcat on a straight is a Roush $6000 supercharger kit and corners the base GT is already winning. :)
 
Gotta say though I think if had a choice between Mustang and Challenger then I'd go with the Challenger. They just look so cool to me, I love how they kept shape/body line of the original and worked around it.

Oh right, I had assumed that might be the case with all that grunt. They're more of your stereotypical muscle car then I suppose - fast until you make it to a corner.

I saw a couple on the road in the US last week and I agree, they seem to have done a great job with the looks. Although the Shelby GT350 does look amazing in the pics here (and in a different league).
 
The R is so special, really is, told Ford yesterday at the Silverstone Event the UK is lining up for Shelby GT 350, they'd sell them like hot cakes.

I love the GT 350 R, but I do dislike the carbon wheel design, I prefer regular 350 wheel though they are quite heavy, still I'd buy an R and then sell the carbon wheels for a small fortune and buy some wheels I like. :D
