GT350

I had an idea about a Ecoboost V6 based GT350. Possible sold like a Shelby GT500. So I made a photoshop mock up:

Thanx. That was the image I was shooting for, but also trying to make it stand apart from the GT.

I think a GT350 like this would be a wonderful car for tuners like the GT500 has been. But I could see a car like this sold in mid-high $30k range starting.
Would make a nice in between for the GT and GT500, and not be just another "special edition", but real new trim level.

Jinx, if I was building cars I'd want you to be my head designer.

Awesome! But maybe less grille lights, more single ecoboost badge?

Since the new base V6 is a Duratec (which is the block a Ecoboost is based from) I like to see someone do this. Honestly I would like to see this and prolly lean in favor to a EB v6 over a 5.0.

If anyone has seen what a modded 3000GT VR4 or Stealth R/Tt can do, then this car would be fun to work with.

Free mods or basic stuff can net a lot. A Cheap manual boost controller could be fun.

Plus having a factory turbo system opens a world of replacement turbos to upgrade to.

i think it would need more power than that. or be slotted between the V6 and GT rather than between the GT and GT500.

otherwise excellent design! i would buy it in a heart beat

A "Gt350" is just about the only way I'd be getting a Mustang now that the GT500 isn't going twin turbo.
