Hello all, I am thinking of selling my 2012 GT500 and buying a GT350. Are there any years I should stay away from?
I haven't driven one. I drove a GT, which I know is a different animal but I couldn't believe the difference in every aspect of the car. I would love to drive oneHave you driven a 350 yet? Great cars but might feel different than your current Shelby.

I was referring to your GT500 - the one you’re selling to buy a GT350….Thank you. The GT500 is a little out of my price range, and even at the same price, I wouldn't bite......I need a manual!

You may end up like.... hey... where did all the torque go??
It's down almost 100tq from your gt500
Did you drive the 350 at low rpm like a supercharged car or like it was designed to be driven, at 6000+ rpms? Too many think the 350 is a low rpm muscle car. It's not this. It's a high rpm race car. You want power then you need to be above 4K rpms and keep it up there.A few years ago I found a 350 on a dealership lot. Me and my wife took it out and I was very surprised that even with 3:73 gears, the huge "deflated" feeling it had compared to my GT500. I could not get back to the dealer fast enough.
It probably does handle very well compared to a S197. But I am more of an
ax-murderer driver vs surgeon.
Now that that Mach 1 is out, I would be curious to see how a fully optioned Mach 1 drives in comparison to a 350; primarily the Mach 1 has a tried and true engine.
And than theres the OIL FILTER issue for the 350, unless it has been resolved?
edit: I would buy a Mach 1 over a 350 and keep the s197 Shelby if possible

Concerning the oil filter, the spin on canisters can be secured with a $2 clamp and 2 minutes of installation.
