Congrats IndianaM3 - that is a beautiful configuration you ordered. And bonus for getting Recaros you didn't even order - you really lucked out with that one - you'll thank them again when (or if) it comes time to sell.


BTW - Billy Johnson and Scott Maxwell driving the GT350R just won the CTSC Championship.

My R has been sitting at FRP waiting for shipment for almost 3 weeks now! It will arrive in time to install the snow plow.

Yes, Grabber Blue - the color in person is outstanding

Where is that? Is that the dealership? If so, that place looks amazing for a Ford showroom.

Anyway, smart move on getting that car. I would not by a GT350 without the Recaro seats, it was a must have when I purchased my car. I think you'll be very happy! Congrats!

It clearly states in the owners manual per towing "Flatbed only or serious risk of damage to the vehicle." -

Keep it at the track - it's more fun anyway.

Does anyone have have a lead on an R closer to sticker? Even $10K seems unlikely from my searching.

I've been considering a 996 GT3 but GT350/350R might be a better fit.

Found a '17 GT350 (track pack std?) with sofa seats for MSRP today, but the lack of Recaros is a dealbreaker.

Good call on the Recaros - nobody wants sofa seats in a race car.

This is good news. Build a ton of them for the next few years and perhaps the demand will be met enough to get an R at MSRP.
