It wasn't that the GT350 felt slow. It just didn't feel fast. Given the reviews and the extra 100 hp, I thought it would feel fast compared to my e92. I would also say that it's possible that it didn't feel fast but it is in fact faster than it felt (if that makes sense). I don't know. I was expecting more.

One of the things that makes a car feel fast is the amount of torque a engine has vs HP numbers and gearing.

i back to back same day test drove a 2018 mustang GT and a 2017 C7 stingray 3lt... both manual cars and the C7 felt fast.... the mustang felt heavy and big it was as you said was faster than it felt, The chevy small block is loaded with tons of down low torque and the ford has a higher torque bump and its very noticeable.

Fun factor winner... the C7 by far!
