Yes, the Gt350 is incredibly special, the motor is intoxicating. But not only the motor, the whole chassis feels reworked compared to the regular GT. Despite its hefty weight, it handles really well, and is very easy to drive like a hooligan. Its fun and feels pretty sharp, and the steering has great feedback (however I hear this was reduced with newer model years as they gave it the GT500's rack for 2019 I believe). The manual is excellent, and the clutch is very light (probably one of the parts I'd mod). The sound is amazing. Despite all this, this is probably not the best daily driver due to it still having a plastic mustang interior as well as vibrations in the cabin from the motor, and the engine is probably not the most reliable and drinks a lot of oil. But what a car, the first Mustang I've ever lusted after.

911 is a different game. Incredibly composed and excellent in handling, while still having all the perks of a great driver and the best quality of any German brand. It will be more expensive but will also hold its value, and can be used for both weekend and DD duty. Question is, what 911 variant are you looking at? New or used? 991 or 992? Carrera? GT? There are a ton of different variables to the 911 question.

Both cars will excite you compared to your F80 but who knows how long the excitement will last. Despite these being excellent cars, us being enthusiasts get an itch for a new car every so often so the excitement may or may not last, and you may become bored again.

Good luck OP.
