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.

I didn’t believe the hype about the CP when I was in the market for an F8X so I decided to go used, as the market was thin at the time. Now I totally get what the CP brings to the table. I love the style 666s in the “black”. The burbles are a nice touch to “blender” sound that is the sound track of the S55. I unplugged my valves and even that helped me enjoy my stock exhaust. At this point I can’t afford both so I have to roll with the car I can see myself living with/loving for the next 5-7 years. I’m supposed to drop off my check to secure a build slot for the M3 on Monday. If that happens, I’m set on BSM/SO, CP, black 666s, and 6spd. Carbon roof and interior trim too. It should be illegal to order without the latter haha JK. The salesman tried to sell me on the exec pac but other than the heated steering it’s mostly filler for me. I wanted YMB/SS but the wife vetoed that rather quickly... |
Wait, so will everyone be laughing at me in Germany as I drive by in my M3 with my moonroof open?......first stop, tint shop!
