The SOS pod is for sure WAY better.

The center exhaust is like the 1969/1970 Shelbys. That's where they got that from.

But, you can buy all the performance parts this thing has, plus a new hood and probably new bumpers for a 2010/2011 for like HALF of the GT350 package price. Or just say *** it and buy a GT500. Done.

I like the center exhaust i am am sure it sounds awesome too. The lights just kind of leave a bad taste in my mouth. and the front emblem. otherwise i would love to have it at a price that is slightly more reasonable, say 40K maybe not 65K!

That's a gorgreous car. The headlights and the extensions look crazy (I've never seen a 2010 at night). I'm diggin the rear, but I agree about the reverse lights. I do like the slotted taillights though. Anyways, great looking car

i'd say you're looking at around 10k for a whipple s/c on the new motor with tuning. you're looking at a motor that hasn't been fully tested by the after market yet. all the custom body work is probably another 5-10k and then the suspension mods another 5-10k. add in that you're getting a registered 2011 GT350 and the price doesn't seem all that horrible...

No way its 10k for the whipple and a tune. maybe 6-7k.

If I wanted new edge styling, I would buy a Terminator


oh, and for those that like the tail lights: just go buy a rear blackout panel and a set of black taillight bezels

I think its ugly...........the motor is beautiful and thats about it. The rear exhaust looks out of place on the new mustangs and the body kit looks like a hot wheels collection. The A pillar gauges are a big eye sore. The rest of the interior looks great and I love the GT350 emblems! 60K is A LOT of money for that...you can build a regular GT for half and if you wanted to spend 60K on a mustang I would go for the GT500 looks better and is faster. Everyone has there own opinions so if you like then like it but its not for me.

I was hoping that a new GT350 would be like the Shelby GT where it was between the GT and GT500 in price and performance. To me that would have made more sense.

I also would have thought they would have offered a Paxton instead of a Whipple. The original GT350s had a Paxton as an option and Mustang + Paxton is a classic combination. So doing that would have made it even more like the original I think. Plus a Paxton is cheaper.

It will be interesting what comes of the Boss 302 now. I hope the cost of it stays less than the GT500. My guess is it'll be mostly an appearance package thing like the Bullitt with minor performance changes and cost in the upper 30's.

I notice most the 2010 guys dont like it and the 05-09 guys do lol.

Is it just me or this car reminds you of an 05-09 saleen? Think about it, front grille with emblem on driver side grille, rear wing extension, rear black out panels, rear lettering on bumper(except these seam to be just cheap emblems, not actually grooved into the bumper like Saleen), and lastly center exhaust.
