Most of them are equipped with SafeCraft.

I know Ford in Michigan shuts down for the holidays on or around 19Dec and resumes production 3Jan.
Watson does make the roll bars for the Ford Peformance Racing School cars and the cages of the FR500C/S, Boss 302R/S, & GT350R-C.

Check your alignment. My track pack does not tramline but it does have quick steering so any turning of the wheel is responsive.

The GT350R is notorious for tramlining - lots of comments about it on 6G from R owners. The Track Pack doesn't do it.

Is there a way to determine what package the 2016's have using the VIN number? I see most start with 1FAGP8JZ_Gxxxxx in the underline position I see different numbers 1-9. I saw a 2016 GT350R with a VIN of 1FATP8JZ1Gxxxxxx.
Good luck with your search.

Gt350 with track pack is a great car. Just drove 1000miles back and forth to Road Atlanta. The Recaro seats in the track pack are very comfortable. It's very street friendly in quiet mode. And sounds like a proper race car in loud mode.
I thought it was impossible to get soooo much car and engine for $57k

Does anyone of you hear a tiny vibration from the engine at low rpm?

My GT350R tramlines like crazy too! It can be downright scary. I attribute it the wide front tires and tread, or lack there of.

No, not me. Quiet as heck until I romp on it.

Looks like prices are coming back to earth. Dealer here has two 17's that arrived in Oct at $5k over. They are now sitting at MSRP. Looks like cars are sitting for a bit.

They have an R but still want $92K for that one.

I find those long highway drives in the GT350 to be just as fun as the track days - this car loves to be pushed for extended periods.

How is that possible without risking a trip to jail? My Spyder is a lot of fun also, but one of my biggest frustration is all the performance I can't tap on "long highway drives"

I agree,

I never push it on the road. These cars are in triple speed digit before you blink. I get my dose of adrenaline on track. Gt350 is a super comfortable cruiser. (Without Toyo R888R tires)
😂😂
So many people on the highways over here that doesn't have a clue of what they are doing.

It was fun to open it up on track. Will do it again for sure.

Unfortunately it appears to be somewhat of a common and accepted issue.

If it's just a warm up issue is call that not only a non event but a cool quirk or what is honestly a borderline supercar engine. Unless it was a longevity effecting issue and if it goes away with warm up, I wouldn't even consider it a thing.

Car got hit today as an idiot pulled out of a parking lot and then did a street u turn to go back in right in front of me. I swerved but it still got the left side. No Cars and Coffee jokes and I have already heard from my buddies that all Rustangs have been wrecked

Has anybody got any experience doing a diminished value claim in FL. If so what was your experience. I am not going to go quietly.

Good thing I like this car as I doubt I will be my usual trade or sell every 12 months or so.
