Motor Trend drives GT350

These are some pretty **** good numbers.

0-60 in 3.7 sec, 1/4 mile in 12 sec flat.

Wow, that's a fairly solid review.

Sounds like an excellent performer. The body trim pieces still make me sad.

Yeah, something just doesn't look right about the car. Maybe it's too boxy looking? I don't like the look of the front end much either.

if the fitment was better I'd give it a pass. I can't say anything about the performance, it definitely rocks there!

If the GT350 would have the Shelby Emblems delete option it would break 11s.

I actually like it and would own one if I could afford to drop that type of cash. but alas....

The performance number on that car are VERY nice. It seems they have it dialed in very well. Have to admit, love it or hate it, they did a bang up job with the new platform.
