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.

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.
