I got a ride in a GT350R

Ford was up in Houghton Michigan at Michigan Technological University last week. Tracked them down and they were very kind to give me a ride in the GT350R. Offered up my Boss Red Key for a swap but that wasn't happening! The ride was awesome but the speed we ran is classified. The acceleration was freakin awesome in the GT350R. The drive home in my Boss was sorta a let down. Here are a few pics or the 350 along with a GT and my 302.

Interesting. Is G0090 a final production model?

Don't know its status. I do know that car had been run hard on the track, very little tread on the front and rear tires.

G0090 appears to be a MP1 Build, produced on July 31, 2015. I have seen 4 Red GT350R's on the road in the past month (or maybe it was this one 4 times), and it sounded great!

The sound of the GT350 engine is just over the top. I thought my Boss with Track Key and open side pipes was awesome...not so much compared to the 350!

You know I'm not so sure about that. Many think louder sounds better and clearly the GT350 is louder than the Boss 302 so to many that's better. Obviously this is subjective but one aspect of the Boss sound that I really like, and what's missing from the 350, is the snap crackle pop especially on decel. I love the sound driving around town with TK and the side pipes open. No doubt the 350 sounds different and fantastic but better than the Boss? I'm not so sure.

The Boss sound is hard to beat. It think the best sounding one I've heard in person was Fiddler's with the kooks shorties and FRPP touring cans.

Can't say the GT350 is better just yet. But I'm probably not the person to ask. I still prefer older Ford firing orders for sound.

I guess I'll have to wait until I can finally get a ride in one before I can pass judgement!
