Do I make the switch from GT350R to GT500?

Love the 350, but the 500 is impressive as well. I think it comes down to what you enjoy the most. I personally wanted a blend of both cars, but that's not available (DCT + Voodoo) so I opted for the Voodoo over the DCT. The power difference was never the big concern for me after owning my GT500 and if I wanted to I could put a procharger or whipple on the GT500 and close that gap right back up.
 
If you like having a slow car with a glass engine choose the R. If you like bending the fabric of space time and traveling through wormholes, GT500.

Glass Engine? Sure there have been some oil consumption issues with some cars, but the reports of failures are always the ones that get posted and not the ones of people who have had no issues at all. Plenty of GT350's making 800whp with turbos and blowers.
