You get to do the jacking and swap wheels at Sebring.

Thanks, they are already moving closer to MSRP. That's a good sign.
I wouldn't pay over sticker for a Porsche, even less likely for a Ford. 😉

The only thing that annoys me about the standard GT350 is that it weighs damn near 3800 lbs. Thats such a downer

Agreed. Keep in mind though this one is making rounds on the forums today because the 5k ADM is almost unheard of now. Most are paying 15k+ for the Track Pack or the Tech GT350.

And it hasn't sold yet?
Surprising it is still available on the dealer's showroom??

It just arrived, it's probably gone now.

Recent review of the new 911 Carrera with the 3.0L turbo, R&T:

"Redline for each is 7500, and while shove noticeably tapers past six and a half, you still end up revving to 7.5. Because it's there, because it sounds great, and because the fall-off doesn't make the redline seem gratuitous. (Example of modern car with gratuitous redline: 9000-rpm 911 GT3, where spinning the thing past peak power just feels like noise production. Example of modern car without: 8200-rpm Ford GT350, where it feels like someone with a hand down your pants.)"

Uninformed article... you want to rev past power peak to maximize average power and maximize acceleration.

Yah I know I'd enjoy 9,000 rpm in a GT3. I thought the last line about the Shelby was funny.

Been waiting on this comparison. 350R sound is pure insanity.

The want is strong with this one.

The Shelby literally destroys everything it comes in contact with - that sound alone is worth the price. Hell the car could lose to everything and I would still buy it - amazing stuff.


Gents - those who have an order in - there are delays. I didn't get my car as expected on time this week or last. Rumor is there is a seat belt recall of 250 vehicles which are waiting to be updated before released. Hopefully December. I'm so pumped.
