I heard the vette's engin rev and this one. I was like lol, too funny the Vette sounds weak. I solely bought the car primarily on engine noise. Of course, the benefits were high hp, sick exhaust, and just whatever you can name just add it.
I hear you there. Sound was definitely a factor for me as well, albeit not the primary one, but it helped. The HP also wasn't really the main factor. What sold me was the handling and cooling. I was tracking a 2016 GT with a performance package before I traded it in for my GT350, the handling was a step up from the previous version, but still felt a little tight. And the heat I was generating in the differential, was starting to bother me, with this car, none of that. I knew it had more power, and that's always the first thing people ask, "What's the horsepower?". But that honestly isn't what excited me. It was the track-ability and the overall balance.
I think the IMSA Contentinental Series speaks for itself in terms of the capabilities of what this car can do. On top of the standings ahead of chevy, mercedes, bmw, porsche, audi, mclaren and aston martin.
Thumbs up to Ford, the hit the mark on this one. Also, just hit 8500 miles on my 2017 GT350, and still no end to loving this car.
