I'm not entirely surprised. The real glowing reviews are for the GT350R, I've heard a few reviewers comment that the regular GT350 feit more like a GT with a fancy motor.

I've been a Ford guy for a long time and I drove the 17 GT PP and was underwhelmed. Didn't care for the ride quality at all, it actually made me a bit motion sick because the dampers and spring ratea felt wrong for each other. The dealer I went to is a dual Ford/Chevy store so I walked across the parking lot and test drove a 2SS. A half mile later I said out loud to myself "Ford should be ashamed.". The Camaro put a great big smile on my face. And for not much more than the Mustang my Camaro will hang with GT350s for at least 30K less. I'm going to be such a happy guy in a couple months.
