Congrats on the pick up man! I traded my 2015 C7 Z51 for my 2017 1LE and definitely have no regrets. Enjoy it!

Here are a few pics of mine.

How does he like the handing feel of the GT350R vs the SS 1LE?

kropscamaro16 · 10-08-2020, 10:13 AM

he said the handling on the ss1le is better but the 350R is just more a pure power car and will be worth more in the longrun that motor even in stock form sounds crazy on track!

Man, that is really high praise for a 1LE, especially compared to an R with CF wheels and a much higher MSRP. The Voodoo is awesome though, wouldn't mine one.....under warranty.

Assuming you got to ride in it, maybe drive it? Curious on your thoughts.

agreed he is selling his 20 ss 1le shock yellow as we speak i just got a new set of oem 1le tires from him the other day and he doesnt have the R wheels on it never been on the car as most people do and i didnt get to drive or ride in it due to covid but here is a video from him that day btw he is running 3r on it but there were almost bald

Very cool video, thanks for posting.

Hard to beat the Voodoo on track, that engine was made for that and really shines in that environment. I dont blame him one bit for that switch, and I love the R stripes especially on that Lead Foot Grey(I think that is what its called).

yea its a wild car its all bone stock other than wheels/tires not sure what time he did at same track in his 1le but hes a pretty good wheelman !

that is a descent time considering the car and the Hp. SS 1Le does almost the same time at that track. My friend with a Zl1 1le does 1:46. I do 1:50's with 380 hp GT4.

kropscamaro16 · 10-08-2020, 12:33 PM

yea hes a pretty fast driver i think my buddy did a 1:48 there for his best time in 1le but he had supercar 3r fresh ones

The R is a really cool car, it was a no go for me because the GT350/1LE is just way more practical when I use it as a daily (R has no backseat, stiffer suspension, and the CF wheels would be a big concern with CT roads/pot holes). If you take off the CF wheels and then add a backseat you basically have a GT350. Very few differences after that.

In terms of collectability, I think that's an unknown especially if you do drive the car and track it. I suspect there are fewer ZL1/ZLE's produced than GT350/R. And from a price point the GT350/R competes more with the ZL1/ZLE when buying new not really as SS1LE, which is a good $15-18K+ cheaper.

But it has the Shelby name which helps. The Voodoo is a blessing and a curse. It remains to be seen what happens with resale when the engine warranty is up and if Ford continues to struggle with catastrophic engine failures.

yea i just had a buddy that sold his gt350 and got a gt500 must be nice...

he tracked it a few times and told people about it so most people dont care as long as the car wasnt abused

he sold his for $36.5
