A new Ford Shelby Mustang 'Heritage' package evokes the Ford vs. Ferrari era
The Ford Mustang GT 350 Heritage package isn't just about Carroll Shelby. Ford vs. Ferrari's Ken Miles also figures in the legacy.
A "Wimbledon White" paint job defines the package, with "Guardsman Blue side and over-the-top race stripes," Ford said.
The Shelby Mustang GT 350 is A LOT of car for $60,000 (and the GT 350R is a bit more for $73,500). This 'Stang makes 526 horsepower from a track-tuned V8 in 350 trim and 527 when you add the "R."
Ford upgraded the GT 350 and GT 350R alongside the rest of the Mustang lineup for 2020.
"These include revised front chassis geometry for improved steering feel, plus revised
antilock braking and MagneRideTM tuning for optimized aerodynamic components resulting in improved ride, stability and handling for both road and track," Ford said in a statement.
The company added: "Shelby GT350R gets a redesigned high-trail steering knuckle leveraged from the all-new Shelby GT500 for 2020. It also features a new steering rack and recalibrated electric power steering control."
OK, that's a lot of technical detail.
I was lucky enough to take a GT 350 out on a racetrack in 2017 and let md tell you, it was already stupendous. Whatever for did to make it better just improves what might be the best value in weekend-warrior track weapons on the market.
The Ford Mustang GT 350 Heritage package adds about $2,000 to the GT 350 and GT 350R's price tag.
