The 2013 Shelby GT350 was recently reviewed by Autoblog.com, and for the most part the verdict seems is pretty positive. The web site raves about the GT350′s performance, saying “this Shelby is bloody quick. Under the right conditions (limiting wheelspin is the greatest obstacle), this green beast will effortlessly crack the 60 mph benchmark in under four seconds. Few public roads can tolerate its top speed.” They were also impressed with the car’s handling abilities. “Few would call any Mustang small and nimble, but the GT350 breaks the stereotype,” says author Michael Harley. “Once familiar with the coupe’s corners (rearward visibility being the most limited), I was able to push the Shelby surprisingly hard in the California’s legendary canyons.”
One of the GT350′s few negative attributes according to the site is the interior, which is mostly stock with the exception of the “tacked-on A-pillar gauges, which felt cheap.” The sticker price was somewhat of a shock as well, ringing in at a total of $81,714 thanks to options like the 624 horsepower Ford Racing supercharger ($8,500), Wilwood disc brakes ($2,995), engine cooling package ($2,995) and billet watts-link ($1,995). Even so, Autoblog considers the GT350 a good value. “The more I thought about it, the clearer it became that the 2013 Shelby GT350 is probably the best Ford Mustang I have ever driven. And, even with a price that more than doubles its donor’s cost, history’s fondness for Shelby models may someday prove that this car is a worthwhile investment, too.”
