This car is awesome! It drives great, handles the bends great and stops on a dime. The car has helped me discover points to my driving skill set that I need improving. For the money, it has no rivals despite what Camaro and Challenger fans say. The only issue I have is, being a bigger guy, it's like a masonic dance trying to get in and out of the seats. Some already complain about the harsh ride but they need to remember that it's a muscle car that was transformed into a sports car. If you want comfort, get a Cadillac. All in all, great car. I've already ate 2 Camaro Z28's and a Hellcat on bendy roads. And I'm not a racer by any stretch.

I've driven everything from the early 60's Shelby, cobras and a gt 40, to track ready can am cars. This tops them. Just a blast to own and drive. Long trip was great and economical........if you can stay out of the throttle. If you get to test drive one....which is doubtful....you'll buy it. Just got back from a 4400 mile trip to the west coast. Fantastic. Tripometer posted 24.3 mpg. Not important, but cool. A real head Turner. Great fun on the coastal roads.

5000 miles now, first oil change, still love this car! Since letting my 69 GTO go way back in 1983 I've missed having a little muscle under the hood. I've driven many cars since then, mostly "responsible" types until my wife picked up a Porshe Boxter S a few years ago. The thrill of fast acceleration and road hugging turns on the local road track got me thinking about speed again, but driving this car every day is a no way! While fun, it's just not a daily driver. I started considering trading in my latest Acura a few months ago, or maybe just selling it outright and picking up an old late 60's or early 70's muscle car. After looking for a while, I kept remembering that while my GTO was fun, I worked on it as much as I drove it. Started looking at late model muscle cars, Lexus, Camero, Corvette, and then the Shelby GT350. Everything about this car spoke quality and performance, and driving it is just a true pleasure. I like it's interior far more than the other American competition, and once you hear that Vodoo engine rev, there's just nothing else like it! I do a lot of highway and while I miss my modern car lane assist, this thing is so steady that you can take your hands off the wheel for at least as long as a car with lane assist in the straight sections of highway. Unlike what I'd of gained in an old muscle car, lots of straight line power, this thing also hugs the road like any European sports car. I had read about a few miner quality issues other buyers had experiences, and I had the same, lose pop in plastic rivets on some ground effects, and a pin hole in on rear CV boot, but the dealer made it all right in no time. I've never made an automobile purchase without some level of buyer's remorse until this one. I look forward to driving it every day, and cannot wait to get her on both the drag strip and road course. I think it's only short coming might be off the line in the quarter mile, where the relatively low torque of this engine and 3.73 gearing causes it to lug just a bit, but it appears to makes up for it as soon as the R's get up past the 4000 mark and makes an impressive quarter mile in the 12 second range. Heck my GTO only did low 13's, but it's low end torque would lift the front wheels off the ground and snap things left and right. I don't miss that! Of course she was slightly modified. Am I happy? Darn right I am. Thank you Ford, and American ingenuity, and thanks to the foreign competition that drove you to reinvent the muscle car!

Had a Vette C-7 which was a great car, until I drove this beast! Slightly less money for more options, I am very impressed so far.

Worth the money difference to a GT

Handles and drives like a much lighter and smaller car. Is the first car I have owned where the factory left me nothing to do aftermarket. As pleased as I have ever been with a car purchase. Dispite the highish price it is great value for what you get. It would cost more to mod a mustang GT (also a very good platform) to get it to the level of ths car as a stock package.
