What do Ferrari and Ford now have in common? Let me step back again what do Porshe and Ford have in common? One more gan what do Ferrari, Porshe, and now Ford have in common well engines that sing to the tunes of over 8,000 RPM redline, Technically Flat Pane engines, and cars that are available with a manual. So the differences start to spread thin after this next comment, because the price points are so far apart I cannot realistically compare, well at least I think I shouldn't. So what has Ford mustered with the GT350 was a head bouncing announcement that worried some and made some car enthusiasts cry tears of joy for them actually building this limited edition car. The dividends will soon pay off as the sales are strong and we now have the opportunity to say what a successful risk. So what's under the hood of what they call they Voodoo because after you drive it casts spells on you. 



  

Eng, Disc: 5.2 V8 
HP: 526 hp TQ: 429 LB TQ 
RPM Redline: 8250





This is where Ford takes a curve literally, the mustang as most American cars now are not straight line monsters anymore but track worthy beasts capable of keeping up with yea I'll say it Porshe's and Ferrari's (the latter not specifically known as a track car). 
When we discuss positives the limits on this car make you think of independence day all the numbers and drivability tell you there is no match as far as speed and performance that you can top this vehicle. The alien engineers have come to reckoning and there is nothing stopping them. The fun fact about the GT350 is it really is a sleeper in looks the hood lines and small external variances larger wheel make for the thought something is there but I can't put my finger on it. What has Ford done 



  


  • Rear Leaf Spring set up (Counter spun spring) 
  • Magna Ride 
  • Injection Molded Carbon Fiber composite Grille  
  • Michelin Pilot sport II tire 
All these changes put a new light on the performance of the Ford, this is the best available track cars in the world with a manual transmission. If the 911 is really dear to you strictly from a performance perspective you will fall in love with this GT350.
