^this!

Last year 1 R for every 3 gt350 allocation. 2017 is 1R for every 2 gt350 allocation. So those that bought R to flip probably won't be making backflips of joy.

I got to order my own R- looking forward to track days this fall. Will be fun to go back to back to back with GT4/ACR/350R

Where did you hear this?

Makes no sense considering that there are around 3,000 Ford Dealers in USA. Most dealers will get GT350 1 or 2 allocations per year. R allocation is based on the total Mustang volume. Also, per GT350 registry, there is less than 100 Rs sold compared to 3,000 GT350s. Definitely not 1 to 3 ratio.

I was also told a dealer getting 3 regular gt350s gets one R. That was for 2016 and from a source who has yet to steer me wrong

I hear what you're saying and it makes me confused. My good friend own a small Ford dealership. They don't sell a lot of mustangs. (More trucks) so that's why he only gets 1gt350 allocation for 2017.
I'll double check tomorrow about the R allocation process for 2017. Something doesn't add up so I might have misunderstood.

I guess for reference.. The dealer I am working with received 14 x GT350's and 2 x R's. They are the largest SVT dealer in the province.
-I should hopefully get my R in a couple of months... barring any surprises,

Correction,

The small ford dealers had to get 3 gt350 allocations to get 1 R during 2016.
For 2017 they need to get 2 gt350 to get 1 R. There is obviously a cap for the bigger dealers that get many gt350s.
So for the above dealer that got 14 gt350 in 2016. They might still only get 2-3R for 2017.

Ford looking after the small dealerships.

This thread made me think about getting a GT350. Thank you!

So a while back I got my name on the "VIP" list and I will have a 2017 R coming. I was told that I would get the ETA prior to April 29. I did NOT order Electronics package, and I ordered Grabber Blue/white stripes and car cover that's all.

Good decision and congratulations on your order!

I was out at the Porsche Armada event all day yesterday, fantastic cars and fantastic people. When I got home I took out the GT350, it felt like a hypercar after the 911.

That sounds awesome. Have a blast with it when it arrives.

Would be interesting to hear which one you can turn a faster lap time in.

Hopefully I'll be able to tell soon enough which is quicker out of a track set up 996gt3 and a gt350.

And then get a pro driver to do the same. 👊👊

Not sure if that's a fair comparison :-P I think the 997S & GT350 should be pretty close...
