GT350 sightings, post LA/ Detroit

[Tob]

It's interesting to watch the marketing choices Ford is making beyond the normal "hardcore" stuff we usually witness here at SVTP. I'm trying to keep an eye on the venues that both the regular GT350 as well as the R model make. As of now Ford brought a car to BJ (the "million dollar car") but I now see a white with blue stripes at the Washington Auto Show and a yellow with black stripes at the NADA Conference in San Francisco.


WASHINGTON AUTO SHOW

Oh boy. The yellow Mustang club is going to have heart palpitations over that one.

I like the larger wing now, I do not like the OTT stripes on these cars though

I am ready to see the R in a few more colors. I'm a bit upset that the standard 350 doesn't have the red accents on the stripes available like the R. I'm not a big fan of the white outline on the black stripes. The yellow looks good...I will be interested to see cars with a black roof vs. over the top stipes in the different colors.

So disappointed there was nothing at the houston show...:-( I asked houston auto show before the event if it would make an appearance and they said they would just have the GT, V6, and EB. My response to them was "That's pretty lame...I can see those at any dealership. Was hoping they would bring either the recently debuted GT350R or the GT350 which debuted last year in LA. Kinda disappointing."

I'm clearly not bitter at all! :-D

Not a fan of the black roof.

 

[Lemers]

Kinda wish the a CF roof would have been an option.

That thing looks so good in solid black.

Badges? We don't need no stinking badges.


Is that a mule?

 

[DSG2003SVT]

Yes. That's one of the test cars seen after the reveal of the 350. They're pulling the camo off since we know what they look like now I guess.

I do not like that yellow on it.

I do not like that yellow on it.

I think the lighting makes it look worse than it seems. The GTs in yellow look decent, but I am not a yellow person though

Yea.. Im not a yellow person either, Im a black person.....wait a minute....uuuumm:rolling:

Lol. The yellow car looks like the banana equivalent of the Oscar-Mayermobile.


I'm glad people are liking the black car especially because it is stripe free. Ford stylists have minimized the badging on this car (and the badges are very well done at that) and ditched the typical Shelby side stripes. It is clear where their line of thinking is and I'm sure they'd dump the OTT stripes if they could. I'd like to see more colors in a "Liquid" palette (how about a rich "Zeon Green" or a deep "Red Gush?). There is something about the blue on the cars at Detroit that set them apart from anything before and it is high time Ford gave buyers better paint choices.

Tob - do you have any additional pics of the GT350 with the revised (current) spoiler design?

 

[Tob]

The latest non-R, like this?

 

[91z28350]

That's a good looking car right there!

 

[PWORLDSTANG]

The latest non-R, like this?

Yes, thanks. I love this car, but I prefer the earlier spoiler they used to this new one.

 

[Willie2]

is it just me or is the contact patch narrower than the wheels?
