Ford Updates 2017 Shelby GT350 Mustang With More Standard Equipment
CARS.COM — One complaint about Ford’s awesome 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang from our First Drive was how it was packaged: You could choose between a car with a Track Package or one with the Technology Package, but choosing one meant giving up features you may want from the other. There was no Sync 3 or large media display in the Track Pack model, and no Recaro sport seats or oil cooler in the Tech Package model. For 2017, Ford says it has rectified this oversight.

Ford announced that the Track Package, with its aluminum strut tower brace; high downforce spoilers; engine oil, transmission and differential coolers; MagneRide suspension system and Recaro sport seats will now be standard on the 2017 GT350.
Two new packages are also available this year: an Electronics Package and a Convenience Package. The Electronics Package adds Sync 3, navigation and a nine-speaker premium audio system, while the Convenience Package adds all of that but swaps out the manual Recaro seats for power leather sport seats.
Three new colors also join the lineup: Ruby Red Metallic, Lightning Blue and Grabber Blue. Gone are Deep Impact Blue and Competition Orange. Pricing for the 2017 Shelby GT350 Mustang has not yet been announced, so we don’t yet know how the newly standard Track Package will affect the GT350’s price.
