Dealer just emailed me and said he expects delivery of my Shelby GT350 this week.

Congrats, please share your input once you get your hands on it. Do you plan break in or is going straight to the track?

Getting a mustang seems more difficult than landing a gt3RS

There are plenty being offered for $10k over. But I'll just wait! The R will be very hard to get!

Who has an 'R' for $10k over? BTW some reviews (Motortrend?) was saying the R drives completely different the the standard 350. Also has aluminum hood and front fenders. I'm not so impressed with the carbon fiber wheels. It's not clear to me what is different with the setup to make the R so much different.

Like posted in my previous post the R is hard to find. The 350 goes for about MSRP + $10k in Florida at the moment.

That's actually a very weak review compared to what the other publications wrote.

Ford seems to be on schedule now - customers have been receiving their cars approx 3 weeks after build date. (Mine was a 10/26 build). I'd imagine you will get yours before Christmas.

I'll report back and let you know my impressions. Need to check and see what track dates are available for Dec/Jan....

Anyone know if they will continue to build the R next year? I'd love to have one, but can't get any good info out of the dealers. A local dealer to me has an R coming along with a bidding war. They won't even give a ballpark.

Very true - my local dealer wants 20k over for his 350 allocation - I had to go to Georgia to get MSRP. Apparently the ADM's are getting worse too.

Yes the Shelby GT350 and 350R will be in production for 2017 also. I've heard it's a 2 year run like the Boss 302. We'll see.

I thought they were going to build 5,000+ GT350's for 2016. I hadn't seen where it's a 2 year run. The 350 should become much more available before too long the R will remain difficult to get because it is supposed to be very limited.
