It's not all about max horsepower for everyone
How often are you gonna be on a road course? 99.5 % of drivin is done on the street in a strait line when GT350 and the gt500 meet up and the GT500 will just embaress the GT350 on the hwy or stop light to stop light. Nobodies racin on the twistes lets get real. A closed course is no comparison on the street GT500 takes the GT350 everytime!! Just my 2cents.
Your right, its who has the newest conversation piece at the local car meet.
How often do you take your Shelby to the strip and how often do you use all that horsepower on the street?
Being that my state has no drag-strip not as much as i would like. As for the Horsepower,when i need to beat my buddys GT350 to a parkway exit ramp
Your right, its who has the newest conversation piece at the local car meet.
Exactly, Its just like majority of any car. People get all hyped up over the flavor of the week and every review they read in the magazines. Realistically almost all of the owners are just going to park them in the garage and take them to the local car meet,never optimizing full potential of the vehicle. It will be the same cycle once the S550 500 comes out. Its actually a pretty funny cycle. Makes you wonder how many people would hang on and enjoy their vehicles if they actually used them for what they were built for here and there. And not just traded them in for the next flavor of the week. Both great cars but to compare the 2 are apples to oranges. A contender for this car would be the s197 boss 302/laguna.
The arguments made here in support of the GT350 are the same ones I made in support of my purchasing the Boss over the GT500. The Boss is a more fun car to drive. I have not been to the road coarse once, but I do get a big smile every time I drive it. I have a GT350 on order, but some how I am just not excited about it! I can't tell you why other than the instrumented test numbers look very similar to a Boss 302 numbers (other than lap times) and I still am not a huge fan of the S550 styling. The reality is I may find myself back in a Corvette.
Lol.... It is very coarse though.....I'm not surprised you haven't been to a road course because you can't even spell it right.
Since this thread has gone off on a tangent, I am going to ask this.
Is a 500 RWHP coyote comparable to the gt350 in any way?
