I still think a 2013/2014 SHELBY GT500 is one of the best cars made to date (I own a 2014 and love it)

For the base price of 55K and loaded up 65-70K it was and still is the best power to $$$ ratio of $83 per BHP

The new GT350 / GT350R will be great value for the performance and the next GT500 will keep that going strong

Good times to be a car guy and with Ford hitting one home run after the other this is the golden age of speed machines

not at my post...
I agree on the 13/14 Shelby GT500s, incredible looking and performing machines. The S550 is growing on me and can't wait till the GT350 hits the streets.

I agree with what you have to say about the 2014 GT500 being a well built car. The workmanship on my 2014 GT500 is superb. My dealer said I was buying a premium car when I bought my GT500 and he was right , but the quality of the car justifies the price I paid for a car with no quality flaws. I like the GT350 because it can be purchased with a 3.73 rear gear. As a result, I think the new GT350 may be as quick as the 2014 GT500.

GT500 by a long shot. I can't to see some numbers on the GT350. It looks good but it looks like a BMW 4 series in the front.

The GT500 looks like it is staring you down while the GT350 seems to be staring towards the floor...no eye to eye contact.

GT350 looks better and its not even close. I still get a laugh out of the HP per $$ bragging right though, like that is all that matters in a car lol...I did feel that way when I was young though

The sticker price on my car was $30,700 and it has 412hp = $74.51/hp lol.

I would love either one of these cars, I think the GT500 looks a little better but the GT350 fits me much better.

I love both but hate that Ford decided to share the GT500 front end with base model Mustangs, it took away from the distinct look the GT500 had over same gen Mustangs.

I wasn't planning on it, but I sold my 2014 GT500. If they don't announce a next-gen GT500 in the next few months, I'll probably order a 350 or 350R.

Only thing I don't like is the bottom part of the front bumper. That said, I'm eagerly awaiting the next GT500. But right now in terms of looks '13/'14 GT500 > '16 GT350

Both Look Good

:coolman:

They both look great and Ford is building world class cars that people really Want To Buy...

The new GT350/350R are very cool and with the new Raptor / GT / Focus RS / and more Ford is Hot right now.

Hell if they make this Shelby Focus RS i might have to pick one up just to blast it around as a daily driver.

:-D

The GT500 for the win, I really like the GT350, it just doesn't looks as big and bad as the GT500

I wish I had either or. But as far as looks, I'm going with the gt350. Looks more aggressive.
