The Mustang GT350R is Ready to Take on a Porsche 911

Grab your seats, strap on the helmet and make sure you check your fears at the door; the GT350R is ready to take you on a wild ride.  This new and improved model of the Mustang has been chomping at the bit to take on a Porsche 911 and win, which it finally has done.  This amazing pony car has been tested against the 911 on Grattan’s two-mile track and beat the Porsche by 0.1 seconds around the loop.  If that isn’t enough to make you long for the new Mustang the look, feel and drive of the car may be everything you need to have a great time in the new Mustang.

This new Mustang GT350R is powered by an ultra-strong 530 horsepower V8 engine that growls with a loud roar and is only able to fully be appreciated on the track.  With so much power under the hood the car has to be stopped somehow and Ford installed six-piston Brembo brakes to do the job on massive discs that bring this mean beast to a halt very quickly.  For a car that can beat the 911, these features are amazingly high end and thankfully do not cost nearly as much as the 911 does.

A huge difference between the Porsche 911 and the Ford Mustang GT350R is the handling of the two cars.  The 911 is knowns to offer you a smooth transition at speed through turns and give you the best handling you can ever find in a car.  The Mustang on the other hand is much rougher through the curves, making you work for every inch of turn you get, giving you every bit of the feeling you want when you are on the track in a the Mustang.

Since most of us are not going to reserve our Mustang driving for the track and would most likely prefer not to need a helmet every time we step inside, if you do choose this awesome model or its slightly less sporty variant the GT350 you can enjoy the driver mode adjustments in order to enjoy a smooth and controlled ride.  These driver adjustments include the ability to adjust the ABS, stability control, traction control, steering effort and throttle mapping.  The transmission mapping is actually adjusted through your feet when driving and is based on your ability to shift quickly when using the six-speed transmission.

Ford has long made the Mustang to be a car you can drive every day.  During the week you can enjoy the awesome feeling of driving a car that is sporty but very comfortable and choose the driving mode that is best for your commute.  On the weekend, it’s time to unleash the GT350R on the track and see how many other cars are ready to bow down to the awesome balance and power that is the new top end Ford Mustang that offers everything you want in a sports car that you can drive every day.
