Curiosity is killing me, wanna show some photos of that trade in? Haha.
Thoughts on the GT350

Have you considered a CT4 or CT5 Blackwing? Luxury muscle might be better for heavy traffic work?
I have not considered one of those No. I do have the hellcat charger that’s an automatic, and the seats are comfortable. I’m sure not to the degree of the Cadillac of course. I love the way the GT350 looks, and sounds. I can’t contest too much of the driving aspect. That was my concern. I know not all cars are crazy comfortable. However I still drive my black cobra a week or so at a time about 60-70 miles a day for work.
If you are concerned about comfort, I would not get the Ricardos…. i had them in my ’14 500 and hated those things, the bolsters used to dig into my lats… waaay too narrow of a seat….
I really like the GT350, but there's honestly not much you can do to it to make it better without ruining it. For that reason, And a few others, I'd prefer a Mach 1 (which would probably get a blower).
Ford did something to the later model ones that bumped up the bottom end power. The early cars were disappointing, but the newer ones I've driven were better.
Fair assessment. GT350 is IMO the best S550, but wouldn't be my first choice to buy.
Great color. Would look good next to my L.

The seats in the 350 were slightly different for 2015 and up, and were changed again in 2019 to be little wider in the hips.
I had a 2017 on order back in 2017, deal fell thru for reasons not worth getting into, but the one I sat in in the showroom was VERY tight and dig in like you said.
The 2020 seats, while visually looking the same, were much more comfortable
I'll deliver for free, to you.
He gets it
If you buy one, you MUST buy a 20+ for the improved powertrain hardware.
Even then, swapping to a cross plane crank config is the true way to longevity -- but then the heart of what is "GT350" is obviously gone.
IDK... I think they look great. A 20+ might be worth the gamble.
Also OP.... you'll hate the lack of bottom end power coming from PD blower cars. Like driving a Honda S2000 but with 8 cylinders lol. Ok, bit of exaggeration, but you get the idea.
I have a trade:
Remind me to buy some 350 cranks as part of my retirement plan.
Not a bad idea lol!
I take all trades. Transport on that would be pricey though haha
wasnt aware that they had different configurations of Ricardos throughout the years…
the one I drove and violated on the streets did not have the Ricardos and the seats were much much more comfortable that my Shelby’s. Them seats felt like vice grips on my upper back (hips werent a problem tho)….
Everyone talks about that, but I didnt bro…. Honest to God… The 350 is a far far superior car vs my old 14’ 500….
the only way this will not be true is if you are a knuckle dragging, life living 1/4 mile at a time bro…
then again, there is the reliability issues with the 350…. So its back to Trinity… lol
I actually miss my 1LE mullet more than the shelbro
I do oversize and heavy transport
What would it cost to get that thing transported 1200 miles?
That would be a fun, drive back to Florida!
