Gotta say, I really like the '11 GT350 a lot. I don't like the steep price tag, but the car is unique and should be quite the performer. The final front/rear bumper covers are going to be cleaned up a bit for production and that will make it perfect, IMO.

I'm not liking it, especially the facias and reverse lights. The 07 & 08 Shelby GT, actualy the 06 & 07 GT-H look much better IMHO.

I'm liking this clean crisp look and slightly understated, nice job, to bad the car did not come in between thre GT and GT 500, but that's the American way.

The GT350 will be a nice car, I'm not in the market though.....GG

I sort of wonder if the center exhaust has more to do with the lines of the '66. The smooth white panel with no L/R exhaust coming thru to break the lines on each side, and being able to see the diff cover in the center. The new one carries the same unbroken line on the L/R side and you see 'metal' in the center.
Just a guess... but they carried the '66 front over to the new one in a similar fashion.

Here is my tweaks for the front:



Some of the stuff is hard to tell, like the shortened (height) front bumper and slightly tweaked side edges of the upper grill. Still not 100% on the sides yet though.....

Still doesn't look like a $70k car though, especially given the relatively small amount of upgrades -- especially to the suspension (where it needs it most IMHO). But, at least better.

Rampant, good job! Change those wheels out and I start to see some possibilities. I am still "studying" the current look in order to understand the inspiration.

Look again -- they are vertical LED lights flanking the license plate.

What if you widened the license plate area and moved the round reverse lights to either side of the plate?

I like your idea but still think rectangle lights would look better (a la Corvette).

Whilst he won't want the idea "borrowed", Doug (Burningman) has a great solution. Two vertical LED srips either side of the license plate.

With all due respect to those that penned the Shelby GT350, Rampant's is just about perfect. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE consider some of these changes for the production car

Rampant, you might want to make your vertical LED reverse lights more pronounced, because for some reason nobody is noticing lol

From what I've been reading over on TS they won't be changing much. They said the reverse lights are final and won't be changed.


Rampant - Your chop looks awesome
