I'm curious as to why it seems a number of new GT350 owners are selling with just a few miles under their belts. The prices are lower than MSRP so I don't think it is for the money. I have a 2017 GT350 on order, and own a 2007 GT500. I can't understand it. IAm I missing a short coming with the GT350?
Why sell a GT350 with 1000 miles on it?

- Start date
Could be to upgrade to 2017 to get track pack with electronics.

I bought a 350R
I have a neighbor w/a GT350 and he's disappointed w/it in more than few ways. He tracks the car and thinks the suspension needs serious work, plus he says it overheats quickly. He bought it thinking it was a track ready car but now he's got to drop some serious coin to make it run the way he thought it would.
I dunno- did the hype of this car outpace the reality?

Eyes were bigger than their wallet.
Did he get a base or tech pack car, not a track pack car? That could explain a lot of the problems he's having.
I could see that.
And have you driven a S550 OP? If you're like me and want a car that's raw and fun to drive, an S550 is NOT that car. Sold mine after 5 months. Rather have my old 03 cobra
This happens with every car.
There are a few used RS's for sale with the same amount of miles, most are for over MSRP though.

He probably has a tech package car. I flogged the track pack in Utah heat and its bulletproof. The base/tech cars won't run for long on track without a transmission cooler. The car will go into limo mode to prevent the driver from grenading the transmission

I won't be selling my GT500. :coolman:
I have driven a GT, but not the GT350.
There's no comparison between the GT and the GT350. Even the Tech cars can be tracked. I have only hit limp mode once. It tracked better than I expected. I hammered on one all day at the Track Attack as 50 Deep did without any issues. I also talked to the school staff and they have done very few mods. The Track Tour staff said they had only changed 1 rotor after several weeks of constant running.
Granted I drove a GT350 for the first time this week, and it was fun, but I can see how the novelty will wear off.
LIke you and I do? hahahahahahaa
Shiit! I wish.... Im squeezing a dime out of erry nickle!
Some always want the latest and greatest no matter what. My father used to buy a new car every six months. Did he lose money?
Yes.
But zero shits were given.

This is very true.
The S550 is a very refined sports car. It feels more like a V8 Supra, 300ZX or a poor mans Aston Martin.
The Coyote also takes some getting used too if you've been playing with FI Mod motors, LS1s and SBFs.
I still don't like the sounds it makes.
The owner probably had a stop light encounter with an 03/04 or a GT500 that didn't turn out so well
I thought I was the only one. It definitely sounds funny. Not the signature mustang sound.
Yeah, I just don't know which one he got. He did mention the tranny cooler was tops on his list tho.
