Good lord the sound this thing makes!

Has me on the fence about trading for an M2....

stranger · 11-02-2015, 05:51 PM

Wow, is this coming to the uk?

Haywood · 11-02-2015, 06:42 PM

I can really do without the comedy. If I want that, I'll go listen to Louis C.K.

That being said, looks like Ford did a great job with this car. Looks like a blast to drive.

why is everyone in awe of this car? the e92 did this nearly 8 years ago. Add a blower to the e92 and ur better off. hell we even weigh less!

You're touched in the head. 414hp vs 526? 295 tq Vs 429? Come on man, strap a blower to the gt350 and see who's "better off"

The s65 is nearly 10 years old and its an awesome engine, Ford did a good job improving in the past ~10 years and the flat plane stepped up the game, let's give some credit where it's due. Don't get me wrong I love the s65 but this is a new vehicle that retails way less than any m3 then or now (msrp new) it's a phenomenal motor/car especially for the money.

X2. Maybe I am not following what they did that was the same.

I am impressed with this car and one of the few American performance cars I would really consider buying.

Yup, and BMW punked out and now produces a turbo 6 instead of a V8.

GT350 is a great car. Can't wait for the Pony Car wars to heat up with the new Camaro. The old Z/28 left the new M3/4 in the dust around the track. Can't wait to see what the general has in store for a lighter car!

Perhaps you know nothing about the E9x M3, seems so.

Touched in the head? Lol, excellent vocabulary!

The S65 as you pointed out was designed and released nearly 10 years ago as was the E92. That vehicle weighs 3600lbs, has adaptive suspension, modern looks, and revs to 8400rpm. Ford TEN years later, comes out with a fantastic car that does the same thing but weighs about 200lbs more.

Yes I'd rather pick up a used E92 M3 with 40k on the clock for 35k, enjoy as is or supercharge if I really want to 550hp; saving my thousands for many vacations. Oh btw enjoy paying the dealer to rob you with markups on your Mustang.

Again, does what "same thing"? An E92 M3 can't even compete with a Mustang GT around a track.

The capabilities of the GT350 are WAY beyond the E92 M3. Not even close

Did I mention track times? Can you read? The Ford has well over 100hp on the M. I'm saying the technical achievements of the Ford are not that beyond the E9x which was a decade ago. Kudos to them for making the car but how damn long did it take for them to do so with their pride and joy sports car. It FINALLY revs to 8k, has and adaptive suspension, and has purportedly has great steering and handling; oh but it weighs 3800lbs oops.

I see 25% more hp and 45% more torque as not being the same thing. The "technical achievements" are all about the redline and not about the power?

Also didn't the M3 cost more when it came out as the GT 350 does now (non inflation adjusted numbers), almost a decade later? Not seeing this as the same thing.

LOL 25% nice manipulation to not say what I pointed out, the Ford has 100hp more

dubsesd · 11-03-2015, 09:38 PM

really impressed with this new gt350. well done ford

PopsnBurbles · 11-03-2015, 10:20 PM

Damn this animal...sounds savage! Looks, a bit much for me but I'm not complaining. Amazing especially with that price point. Shame dealers will most likely mark up the living crap out of this thing.

AlpineE92M3 · 11-03-2015, 10:34 PM

I would love to pull up to this thing at a stop light with my BPM stg2 ZCP. I think I would give it a good run! Great looking car, but I would still take my car over this, any day of the week. Oh, and mine revs to 8600, oops

Foggins · 11-03-2015, 10:41 PM

Oh man that beast makes incredible sounds...kudos to Ford for building such a great car. Awesome time to be an enthusiast.

Fahrvergnügen · 11-03-2015, 11:02 PM

100+ HP and wider tires but 0-60 is same as 6mt m4??

How much torque did that M3 have again?
