kwakaguy Member 2 Member For: 16y 13d Posted 05/11/14 03:51 AM Share Posted 05/11/14 03:51 AM Hello fellow Ford nutsLooking at getting back into the car scene after a few years doing the family thing and driving 4wds and looking at either a GS 315 or GT 335.Looking at second hand and found one of each. The GS has low kms and the GT has higher Kms and is a bit dearer.What (if any) issues have people had with these and if so at what KMS and which one would be the best to buy. This is going to be a weekend car and maybe tracked occasionally.Thanks for any help.

I'd definitely go for the GT if I could afford itBeautiful cars Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89527-gs-315-v-gt-335/#findComment-1510417 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwakaguy Member 2 Member For: 16y 13d Posted 07/11/14 04:49 AM Author Share Posted 07/11/14 04:49 AM Well drove the GS today and gave it a boot off the line and had crazy wheel spin, couldn't get traction and got beat by a 300C SRT8 (the new 392kw one).... plus think the salesman sh!t himself so that was a plus (only cause I hate used car salesmen {no offence to any on here}). Hoping to drive the GT later this weekend or next week and see what the difference in grip and launch are like. 3 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89527-gs-315-v-gt-335/#findComment-1510875 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dont put there power down very well. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/89527-gs-315-v-gt-335/#findComment-1510907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
