I ordered my GT350R in January. She was built in late April and not delivered to the dealer until early September.

She is White with Kona Blue stripes and a car cover, that's it.

Yes. The boss and I have over 40 track days. The GT350R will have its first track day in a few weeks.

Very Nice. Great color too! Love it!

I have been drooling over these for a while now. I really want to add one to my garage, but wife says the next one I will have to choose between her and the car. So, only one. Just can't give up the one I have so now I want three,

- My 2014 Roush (SGM)
- 2019+ GT350 Tech & Handling pkg (Rapid Red w/Black top & Black stripes)
- 2013/2014 GT500 (Low Miles) Loaded w/SVT Perf & Track (any Red/DIB/SGM w/white stripes & matching striped interior)

Then life would be perfect. But it is only a dream...

You guys all have great cars. Well done.

I think I got lucky to order one last January although I got no delivery date (check the previous posts). It finally got here six months later. It is a great car any maybe one of the last big-engine cars? It drinks gas and gets 15 Mpg on a fun day and maybe 20 Mpg on the highway?

The 5.2L flat plane crank engine is engineered to bark at 2500 Rpm's and up. It explodes in sound at 5,000 Rpm and above (stops at 8,200 Rpm).

Engine:
This car is currently at the top of my list for weekend track warrior and spring/summer/fall daily. I plan to sell my BMW M2 before I leave Germany and come back home. And 2021 GT350 is my top choice right now.

I have also watched them destroy most other cars at the track before including my previous track prepped 14GT.

I do do have a question to the owners. How is the low end tq around town? I know there is loads of power and tq over 4000 rpm, but does it feel lethargic under 3500rpm in real life? Do you find yourself having to downshift to 2nd to merger?

Thank you you for the feedback!

The horsepower is only 526 while the torque is just 429 ft pounds.

You may have to grab 2nd gear to get it moving around town. It will quickly move with the sound of a FPC.

Yeah ... I know. Over 4000 rpm the numbers are impressive. My question is how does it feel at 2000rpm? 2k rpm in any gear and you punch the throttle. How does it feel compared to a Coyote power plant? No one home, or not super fast but comparable to a normal Coyote?

Not one issue with mine.

The warranty will expire on months rather than mileage. I just change the oil and keep the tire pressure to specs.

Still want to get one, but wife thinks otherwise.

I drove it today. I love the car. It has 5109 miles on it. Give me a break as I have two cars and work at home.

The 5.2L engine is ***** on awesome so I plan to keep it. I am no buyer of any EV car.

I just parked the 2019 GT350 in my driveway. I have a good cover on it. I also have a Ford truck coming, but trucks are good to go outside.

BTW, this place has changed since 2004. The software is much better.
