I own both a 18 M4 and a 17 GT350 currently. Here are some random thoughts.

This is my second GT350. I owned one for few months then got rid of it for a 17 M3 then few cars later ended up with both M4 and a GT350.

Sound and NA engine is the highlight of the Shelby. It does handle very well but it treks all over the place due to extremely wife front tires. You get used to it but after driving the M4, it's very noticeable.

Shelby also has this initial softness in the suspension which I think FP springs will take care of. Could be the bushings also, not sure yet.

M4/M3 CP is very impressive IMO. It may seem boring to some who DD the car only. Take it up to the mountains or a track and the car comes alive. Same could be said for the Shelby. But Shelby is definitely more fun as a DD.

Build quality is day and night both interior and exterior. Crap sound system in the Shelby which I suppose you can easily fix with aftermarket as I plan on doing.

I've already cut the resonators on the Shelby. I plan on tinting the windows, FP springs and maybe wheels.

The only car I'll get rid of the Shelby for is a new GT3. I am on a list for one but not sure if I'll get an allocation.
