mikeljgt500kr Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Wow, 159, that is only a handful as cars go. And that was the biggest production year. In 2013, the year mine was built, only 36 were made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
buster Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 And that was the biggest production year. In 2013, the year mine was built, only 36 were made. Damn, looks like those would be the ones to put in the bubble if you are so inclined. It would be these GT350s and likely not the 50,000 GT500s now would it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good for you and glad to hear that. tThey were meant to be driven regularly. I'll bet you get compliments every time you have it out. Just love the looks of the SAI GT350s.

Always interesting to take it and my '68 KR to a car show. Everyone under 40 loves the new GT350, everyone over 55 or so loves the old KR more. Generations are different.

The old stuff is cool to look at but is really just a bunch of archaic junk once it starts rolling. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

39Mustang Posted October 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2015 No what I meant was how can anyone buy a car like this and not drive it. I am simply amazed by number of these Shelby/SVT vehicles that are offered for sale by owners who barely used them at all. Very bizzare. Guys take a 20 or 30 thousand dollar whack on these things and only put a couple hundred miles on them. This is true I drive everything I own! However, the deal with my 2013 with 365 miles is unique as one I made a big mistake buying it then I had an injury that made it difficult to drive let alone a high performance car then I was seriously injured at the hospital so I couldn't drive any of mine for about 8-9 months. I drove my 92 SAAC all the time and these are the rarest of them all but same issue these 2 injures made me frustrated as hell and haven't used either car so I'm selling them so someone can use them. I usually use my 08 GT/SC and the 11 GT350 but even the 08 has been sitting can't drive due to as soon as you hit the gas pain shoots straight up your spine and you want to hit the next tree to make it stop. I drive the Raptor no pain go figure Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its gotta be really tough to have these kind of cars and not be able to fully enjoy them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
350GT'12 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) And that was the biggest production year. In 2013, the year mine was built, only 36 were made. I believe the numbers for 2012 were at 119 total. Maybe there were 36 of your color and style?? Edited April 3, 2016 by 350GT'12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

svttim Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 Of course I am extremely biased, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder 53-saac38.jpg As far a boy racerish, it's no wonder the car was penned by Larry Woods - the great Hot Wheels design chief. I will drag race or compare lap times with any GT350 anywhere! Oh, you are so on Michael.

svttim Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 I was simply asking a question of Michael My appologies sir The later model GT350's are extreemly desirable vehicles. I would love to have one and I like the way they look, But, thier prices keep me out of the car. Haven driven both on track in stock form, the 11-14 GT350 will not compete with the newer models, thats expected. I would hope that would be the case. I have driven a stock Shelby GT on track and, it too is faster then the older car. Now if either of the Mike brothers would be so kind as to turn over the keys.......

NJPat Posted April 6, 2016 Report Share Posted April 6, 2016 No apologies necessary, as no offense was taken. If we are ever at an event together you are more than welcome to drive my 350, and then do a comparison with the 2015-16 version. Having driven both (2011-14 SAI 350 and 2016 Ford 350) I would agree that the cars do have different "feels" - but I do not necessarily believe that a "stock" 2016 Shelby GT would necessarily be faster around a track (depending on track configuration and driver, of course) than MM's 350. Same may be said for a 2016 350, unless it is a track pack or an R, but I could be wrong. I also wonder weather a tech or base 2016 350 could hang in there for 20 minute sessions without additional cooling systems being added. As far as a drag race, I do not think that either 2016 (Shelby GT or 350) could easily best MM's car. His car simply packs too much HP - but it is not "stock" in the regard. I do agree that we should all have some damn fun (as per GP) and put the cars to a test at the next Team Shelby event. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To answer your question on the tech or base model, no, not without coolers added. I have a tech pack and will be adding them as they come out. The 2011 GT350 I drove on track was fast, no doubt but I truly believe they wont stay with the new stuff. The Shelby GT from SAI is a great car, I would love to add them to my stable and they certainly will hang with the new GT350 and may even be a bit faster. I would love to see a 3 way comparison between the 11-14 GT350, the Shelby GT and the GT350R. Damn fun! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

39Mustang Posted April 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 Let me understand what someone is saying here that a 2011 GT350 will not stay with a new 2016 GT350 on the track? Are you mad? Mine has just about 100 more HP than the 2016 and my suspension is upgraded a bit so yea when I finally get recovered from this injury I will get into this challenge. This is not what this topic was about anyway.. based one some of the 2011 GT350's I have seen up For Sale and a few 2012-2014 GT350's yes indeed the new GT350 is hurting the resale value of SAI's version Quote Link to post Share on other sites
