Default Shelby gt350 vs gt500. Help!

Hi everyone!!
I need help. I trying to decide if I change my 2018 Shelby gt350 for a 2014 Shelby gt500 (with 800hp). I am so confused if I make the decision or not.. Help me!!

2018 Shelby GT350 all day, every day. Far superior chassis and the sound is to die for.

2018 Shelby GT350 is superior IMO but Suggest you take drive a 2014 and compare.

I hate to chime in twice on this topic but there is just no comparison between these two cars. Big deal, the 2014 GT500 has 800 unusable horsepower. Drive a GT350 that has been broken in so that you can feel what 526 HP is like from 4500 RPM to 8200 RPM and the truth will be evident to you. The chassis is so superior there is just no comparison. The only bad thing to be honest is the GT350 love oil, especially when driven hard. You can expect 1 $10 quart of 5-50 synthetic every 2K miles or so. That is the only drawback to this incredible engine.

My 2016 GT350 doesn't use oil at all. I drive it like I stole it and have ticked it a few times. It really shines on the race track.

Count yourself lucky. You are the only owner who doesn't use at least 1 or 2 quarts in 5K miles. If I drive relatively easy I can go 1 quart between oil changes.

Keep the GT350, most people can't handle a " stock " 14 GT500 anyhow..
