Shelby GT350, anyone? I just drove it. And compared to M2 and GT4. [VIDEO]

For next years model the track pack is suppose to be standard on all GT350s so you will be able to create the combo.

I did say in the video that I haven't driven the Camaro or the Z06, so I'll reserve judgement until I have.

I drove a new SS w/the A8 & really enjoyed it minus the brakes. They sucked.

I am really looking forward to the new ZL1. That might be the car that gets me out of my Z06.

And..... there it is, the interior sucks

No, it doesn't. I just got back from a trip where I had one of those rental cars, so I have a pretty good idea (and I do this quite often).

It's amazing how the bias persists. I had a 2005 C-class "luxury" and now the BMW, it ain't all that and a bag of potato chips, especially when the BMW 3 follows the same basic interior format of the previous models, looking extremely dated IMO, but apart from my opinion, these cars have tons of plastic and if you aren't seeing it, you're blind. I'm not sure what people are expecting, maybe CNCed from a solid 7' square block of aluminum, with inlaid diamonds and goat-gonad leather padded with the under-feathers of emperor penguins? I will say the 80-100K cars do have some pretty serious interior upgrades, but we aren't talking about those and even at that level it's spotty.

I test drove a Mustang GT, This would be better, interior didnt do it for me. Nice power.

This car excites me! I hope to have the pleasure of driving one in the future.

Great write up and thanks for sharing! Love the GT350 and I have much respect for Ford and their all-new performance lineup. I was fortunate enough to see an R in the flesh!! So much awesome at a bargain price.

I'm first on my local dealer's list for a 2017 GT350. If they will let me build and order one with zero markup I'll buy it. Plan B is to keep my F30 335i and completely overhaul the suspension and add a LSD.
If already own a Cayman GTS if I could fit a set of golf clubs in it.

Passenger seat works for clubs. Assuming you won't have a passenger.

If you can money-shift it, it's a manual transmission. "Yeah, but NO ONE puts an automatic trans shift knob on a manual transmission."
