The 2017 Shelby GT350 represents a significant departure from its iconic 1960s predecessor, boasting power generated by the formidable 5.2L/526 HP “Voodoo” V-8 engine with a flat-plane crank and a Tremec TR-3160 six-speed manual transmission. Its performance is exceptional across various aspects, as reported by “Car and Driver” with 0-60 MPH acceleration in 4.3 seconds, a quarter-mile time of 12.5 seconds at 117 MPH, 0.98 g lateral acceleration, and a braking distance from 70 MPH to a complete stop in 152 feet.
Distinguished as a more track-focused option compared to its counterpart, the GT500, the GT350 was benchmarked against the Chevrolet Corvette C7, Porsche 911 S, and BMW M4. Notable features include specialized chassis tuning for the track, broader front wheel arches accommodating Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires, and significant aerodynamic enhancements beyond the standard model. Additional highlights consist of an active exhaust, six-piston Brembo brake calipers with semi-floating rotors, Recaro seats, and various weight-saving measures throughout the vehicle.
Presented by Collecting Cars, this two-owner Shelby GT350 offered with relatively low mileage, showcases a white exterior complemented by dual dark green racing stripes and stripes along the door bottoms, set against a black leather and Alcantara-trimmed interior. It rolls on black 19-inch ten-spoke alloy wheels, housing grey and black Brembo calipers and equipped with the appropriate Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires. The vehicle comes equipped with features such as a multifunction Alcantara and leather-trimmed steering wheel, cruise control, adjustable dampers, a red starter button, switchable traction control, air conditioning, a USB charging port, and a CD stereo with phone connectivity.
Having recently undergone servicing, an upgraded audio system, and receiving a new set of rear tires, this Shelby GT350 is poised to be an exhilarating companion for weekend drives and a valuable addition to any collection.
