plan is to do a two year run.

just want to say, coming from m3, this car, at 50k usd base, 58k with tech pack and stripe, is the steal of the century by a wide margin. it surpasses all my expectations.

only 2 years?? ( until 2017 model year only?) considering jumping ship now from m2 to this

MY 2018 they will bring TT 5.2 or 5.0 GT500 making over 700HP
currently there is no plan to offer 2 shelbys at the same time as far as I know.
When dealer paid 1000 USD to enroll in gt350 program that is for 2 years only.

GT500 is coming for sure. the question is if they decide to sell GT350 along with it. so far there is no evidence suggesting that will happen.

I am a huge fan of the GT350R (from what I have seen). It seems it is even harder to get than the Porsche GT4 unfortunately.

Arsenalrocks, just curious, are the 2017 GT350R models pretty much claimed for as well? Mark ups going to be crazy for 2017 model as well?

If I could get a GT350 down here in Oz I would go for it in a heartbeat over an M2.

they are making 500/year max for 2 years, so total about 1000 units over 2 years maybe a bit less.

I think you should expect a markup, 63k-65k is still pocket change for a lot of people. if you don't want it, the GM of the dealer may want it, the owner of the dealer might want to keep it for investment etc. so I think a markup is kinda expected, the question is how much.

even with markup say 75k-80k, this is still a car that can hang with pdk gt3 non-rs, faster than amg gt-s, gt4, which is very impressive. and the sound, man. blows the 6 banger 3.8L out of the water, makes the amg gt-s ttv8 crossplane sounds like a broken 20 dollar vacuum cleaner found at your local walmart.

Ford really nailed it with this car. It is a dream car to have. The americans really stepped up in this game and delivered leaving other brands behind. Chevy now with the Camaro SS, Dodge with the hellcat, ford with the gt350. These are really awesome cars when it comes to car enthusiasts. Bmw and other europeans still lead in luxury but most car enthusiasts care less about that...

Americans stepped up their games.

Dealers are going to ruin it.
