Title: The New Age GT350 are an SVT product
Post by: FL SAAC on December 04, 2025, 01:07:15 PM

In several occasions I have mentioned that the new Ford production GT350s are SVT products

But I have been corrected with numerous replies stating other departments.

Well Manuel  our faithful gardener (not manual that's our transmision in various cars) has provided us this link that clearly show SVT

ALL the "Shelby, Cobra, GT350, GT500" Mustangs since 1967 have been FULLY developed by Ford Motor Company. The were done by inhouse by Ford Engineers under the guise of several different departments - Shelby Automotive, Motorsports, SVO, SVT.
Yes even the 2006-08 Shelby GTs got changes installed that were developed and produced by Fords engineers. Don't forget that the coil spring 3000 Cobra chassis was also created on the drawing board of Ford's chassis genius Klaus Arning - who also created the mods for the 65 GT350 chassis.

I couldn't agree with you more, that's exactly what I was thinking.

You've nailed it and I feel the same way
