So, after an unfortunate incident involving a young driver, I decided to pull the supercharger and traded my '15 on a certified preowned 2017 GT350 with 5k miles.

So, before I went into this, I figured that a GT350 was going to be about the same as a regular Mustang GT just a little faster. I was very off. This thing is a beast. While not as fast as the old one with a procharger, it literally out performs every other aspect of the old Mustang. It is just a well rounded machine.

When I switched from my SN95 to S550, I couldn't stop raving at the difference in handling... I am doing the same going from the GT to the GT350. It doesn't even feel like it's in the same category. The recaros are amazing, sync 3 is awesome, and it sounds amazing. The acceleration is great and the power band is very predictable. 8000 RPM is very interesting to say the least.

Anyway, I am pretty stoked about it. It's an awesome car. I will put a few minor personal touches on it, such as tint, a resonator delete, and an MGW shifter... but otherwise, it will not be heavily modded like the last one. Maybe after it's paid off and I retire from the service, I may put a whipple or twin turbo kit on it, but that wont be for a VERY long time. LOL.
