[Darren]

If the price is reasonable (more than a 13 Boss but less than or around at 13/14 GT500) I will be ordering one of these. For sure.

[gmkillr]

Ive heard rumbles that they are going to be in the $70K range

[yeahloh95]

my guess would be 50 something

[travj31]

I know this thing should rev pretty high, how high can be expected?

[juice_man_86]

I'm thinking 8k

[GOT SVT]

I think redline is 8200

[gmkillr]

8200 rpm and they said it will directly compete with the Z28 in performance and price and the Z28 is $75K

[Mark Aubele]

8200 rpm and they said it will directly compete with the Z28 in performance and price and the Z28 is $75K

This. I can't see how this car comes in much under 70k. The only thing it doesn't have (from what we know anyway) that the Z/28 does is carbon brakes and a dry sump. I can't see it hanging with the Z on track either unless they put a real tire on it, they are saying Michelin PSS when the Z comes with Pirelli R comps from the factory.

[Steve-0]

Looks like its time to sell the cobra and the new truck and start driving the old truck....

[Darren]

Im glad they kept the car affordable, now it's time weather or not to determine if i want the tech package or not. And picking colors is going to be a nightmare...

[gmkillr]

Much cheper than I was expecting. How it performs on the track will be the telling part if $53K is a "good deal" or not.

Cant wait to see what it does! I Love the horsepower wars!

[PaxtonShelby]

Do you think dealers will be tacking premiums onto the MSRP?

[travj31]

Thats a rhetorical question if I ever heard one!


Do you think dealers will be tacking premiums onto the MSRP?

[Darren]

Well, if you go to the dealer and order the car they can't tack on premiums. If they order the car themselves thats a different story..

[travj31]

True... But most dealers are only allotted so many and they preorder their allocation. I would say that the majority of first year 350s will definitely see a markup.


Well, if you go to the dealer and order the car they can't tack on premiums. If they order the car themselves thats a different story..

[Darren]

It seems the Tech Package offers a lot more than the track package. FordTouch, leather, sound system etc as compared to just additional cooling..

[no1sirbutler]

dealerships are doing that around here on the 2015's

[Mark Aubele]

I'll take the cooling, keep all the niceties...

[PaxtonShelby]

Thats a rhetorical question if I ever heard one!

That's what I was getting at based on gmkiller's post. $53k is a lot of coin...for a Mustang...but I doubt these cars will be selling for that price. I bet we see $60-$70k or more on some of the first ones off the line. Sucks...but that's the way it usually goes.

[Seer]

Since the order sheets got leaked for this and the gt350r (no pricing though) I know of two dealers who said they will be selling these at Msrp. Looks like these won't be limited run cars but built per demand like the gt500 was.

My dealer friend didn't know if they were going to mark up the gt350r since again it's too early to tell but they're more of a volume dealer.

From what Dave perichak said at Detroit auto show was "there will be more of a price difference between a well optioned gt premium and a gt350 than there will be from a gt350 and a gt350r"

Then Jamal hamedi stated that the gt350r would be priced under the z28 and was slated to out perform it.

So his being said with Chevy having the 20% rebate out now on camaros and the z28 is covered I doubt ford is considering this. My predictions:

Gt350 base price will be right at $52k. Loaded $60kish

Gt350r base will be right around $60k and with the try package about $71-73k

[speedracer]

I wonder if there's any truth to this...

GT350R starts at about $62,000. Like I said before, The R package includes the track package, plus the R goodies to the base price.

[Darren]

See, as much as I would love to have the R, i'd be mis-using the car. I'm not a hardcore racer nor am I a collector. Base GT350, stripes, black roof, and maybe the tech package would be what i'd go for. Comp Orange, Yellow, or White I'm thinking... or maybe magnetic. I'd have a hard time choosing.

But unfortunately the gas guzzler tax is back... 1,300 :/

[gmkillr]

526 flywheel hp @ 7500 rpm is a little disappointing to be truthful. Especially with only 429 flywheels tq

At that kind of rpm and today's technology I would have expected the # to be closer to 600 HP

Even if the HP was better it wouldn't matter to me as the car is ugly........especially that wing! :pointlaff:

[Dan B.]

302 cubes, right? N/A, right? 526hp off the showroom floor, right?

I think that's pretty good.

[Mark Aubele]

Yeah, not sure how it is gonna make much more than that NA at 5.2 liters, SAE.

[Dan B.]

Ok. So a little more than 302".

[gmkillr]

After running a few #'s it does look as if the combo is near optimal.

Most street-able combos make apprx. 100 HP per liter as does this engine.

Now I wonder if the addition of exhaust, cai, and other normal bolt-ons pick up much power or if the combo is near maximized?

There has to be power left in the tune. Can't wait to see what these cars are capable of.

[PaxtonShelby]

I can't wait to hear one at full song in person.

[Seer]

If 526hp from 5.2L is disappointing then 505hp with 7.0L is an outright disgrace then. Ford essentially one upped gm in the NA hp dept.

Just like the current 2015 iteration of the coyote that has proven to rev to 8000 once tuned, from a factory rev limiter of 7000. This engine is far from tapped out. The voodoo engine has the factory the rev limiter set to 8250. There have been videos of the engine on an engine dyno singing past 10,000 rpm. Headers, cai and tune it'll put out more hp with a high 8000/low 9000 rpm redline, It's also not commanding an aggressive amount of timing either in factory config.

Ford basically built a z28 killer for $11500 less if you want AC and $13,500 less if you want it like the base z28. This is for the R model.

[PaxtonShelby]

I better be wearing some Depends the first time I hear one at the track... Better bring a few Gatorades along too...

although i'm not a big ford supporter the engine in the GT350 is pretty impressive. high revving V8 is always welcomed lol

not sure if it'll be a z28 killer though until I see some test results from the gt350. don't forget that still no news/info on what the gen 6 Z28 will have.

i'm still waiting to see how real the secret twin turbo V8 chevy tested is. rumor was a independent shop tested it and it dropped 808hp at only 8psi!

[Seer]

That v8 was reported by horsepower kings which is a click bait website. Not true.

Non of the American car manufacturers are releasing cars that are less potent than their competitors previous gen. The gt350 has been rumored to be running the ring in the high 7:20s to low 7:30s. As well as posting faster national track times as well. All rumors but when ford releases the numbers I am betting it will be ahead. It's no their thing to release something behind their competitor.

Well if your comparing todays engine with a pushrod engine that was released 10 years ago then yes id say Ford finally one upped a engine that Chevy did a decade ago.......Good job Ford! :rofl:

I didn't see that one, but the previous ones I've seen him in have been pretty reasonable and unbiased IMO. Hard to argue against a comparison with the same driver back to back on the same track. In the end they're both pretty great cars that are likely to battle each other pretty closely on any given day.

He did a comparison of the 15 GTPP and the 15 1LE. Essentially on that given day, the 1LE beat it in most categories. In real world racing in SCCA and NASA, the GTPP has been putting the screws to the 1LE.

As delivered from the factory the 1LE is superior to the GTPP, mostly because of tires and dampers, so in the real world those advantages can go away pretty quickly. Although I think a bone stock 1LE won nationals last year in the "stock" class F Street. The '15 GTs are all the rage now on the autocross forums though, still very limited parts available for them though in the "decent" suspension department. The factory dampers are terrible just like they were on the '11-'14s.

In actuality, the 1LE is not beating factory GTPP in competition so far this year. Now whether or not this is the stock class, I'm not so sure. The 1LE is losing to the GTPP in various road course leagues as well.

BMR has a good bit of suspension goodies out so far, from cradle, and differential bushings, various springs for drag and road course/auto-x, IRS lock outs, and Viking has adjustable shocks out for drag and handling.

Just curious where are you finding these results? There are autocrosses all over the country, and I'm not aware of many cars being raced (road racing) that are anywhere near stock. Even my ESP car has a ton of mods and it is about as unmodified as a "road race" car gets. Hard to compare modded cars to modded cars. Plus, which is an advantage to the Mustang for sure, for every Camaro I see autocrossed, tracked, hillclimbed, whatever, I probably see 20 Mustangs. They just barely seem to exist in that world from what I have seen.

I don't know the year nor the style to be honest. i'm not the biggest mustang fan so the older ones aren't my forte lol I would say 60s though it was the squared up body red white stripes semi gaudy chrome 5 spoke wheels.

I work in cranberry

[PaxtonShelby]

Here is the '69

And here is a '68 ( not his - didn't have a photo handy ).

And here is a '68 ( not his - didn't have a photo handy ).

sorta like that but I think it was a 66. looked up the pics of the 65/66 model and since red wasn't available in 65 I guess it's a 66. I could be wrong but that's 65-68 body style was it.

EDIT: it was a 66. just seen pics of the tail lights on the 65/66MY.

With the compression it should pick up a ton on E85. This car is making it very hard to be responsible and keep my '14.

Ford just fired up the Shelby Gt350 up here at Carlisle. Pretty badass.

I got some video of it. I'll try to get it posted in the next couple days. The black R they had there was soooo bad ass. I've been curious on the tire size. At least on the R they're 305's front and 315's in the rear. I hope the standard GT350 has the same size.

[Stangman701]

Here's the video of the start-up...

they did a burnout with the gt350R in the burnout pit before the contest at carlisle

[PaxtonShelby]

That R is definitely a bucket list car.

[Red98GT]

There was an R at Carlisle! Very nice looking car and sounded great. One of the wheels was chipped and you could tell it was carbon fiber bc a small chunk was missing.

Worth noting though. New issue of C&D had the new Camaro running 12.3@116. If you buy a new GT350, just don't pull up to the lady in the automatic SS at the stop light.

[thedak]

If I didn't have the R35 I'd have ordered one by now...

Great buggy...

[PaxtonShelby]

[PaxtonShelby]

Why the F did C&D test the manual '16 GT against an auto Camaro. That's just stupid.

[Mark Aubele]

The article said the auto mustang they tested ran an identical time, and you have to get the manual to get the performance package. I've seen similar times on the Camaro with the manual too.

Nice! Look forward to seeing what they can ring out at the strip. I bet 11.50's with good tires and a tune. From the look of their graph something is really holding it back after 5800 RPM or so. The torque drops sharply after that. Maybe a good set of headers will open it up.

Funny my buddy is having serious issues with his brakes at autocrosses. I haven't driven it yet but not sure if the pads just aren't coming up to temp or an "ice mode" issue like I have been having when it picks a wheel up.
