And I really, really like it.
Traded in my 2013 GT500 with 65,000 miles on it.

For those of you who have driven a GT500, the difference is night and day.

I'm summing it up this way....
You get into a GT500 to drive it and you feel like you're sort of along for the ride hoping it doesn't bite you in the ass when you least expect it. Turn it and wait to see what happens.

The GT350 (which is obviously not broke in yet) goes exactly where you point it and it does it immediately. You feel completely in control.

:)

Two things I'm bummed about... The Recaros are gone and so is all that gobs and gobs of torque.

FWIW,
Kirby

Sorry about no pictures. I just haven't had time. I work for a living.
;-)

It's dark when I leave in the morning and dark when I get home nowadays.
I'll try to take some pictures this weekend when it's not raining...
The only picture I have right now is a crappy one I took when I first saw it with the shipping stickers still on it.
I understand how the picture posting works now. I'll put the pictures on my website once I have them.
My other cars are there now as well as the GT500, which I'll get rid of once the GT350 pics are up.

GT350 color is magnetic with black stripes and white pin stripes. I was leery of how it'd look, but once I saw it, I liked it. Had lots of good comments.
Tech package, hence my comment about the loss of the Recaros which were in the GT500.
Yes, I traded. Only got 32K for the GT500 due to the miles even after arguing.
Just too many miles on it.
No mark up. Sticker price.

I'll try to have pictures tomorrow morning depending on weather.

If you don't mind me asking, how many miles did you have on the gt500?

Says is 1st post 65k.

That's a lot of miles. Actually kinda surprised they went that low on the trade (37-38k is what it hits me at) . But if you're happy that's all that matters

Thank you.
I drove the GT350 to work the last two days. It is a blast.
Lots of comments and other late model Mustangs slow down or speed up when they see it on the road.
Gotta' have a better look, I guess.
