Any GT350 owners contemplating the '17 Raptor?

[stanglife]

Fwiw, I've got a great condition 14 with 60k miles on it.

It'll be on sale within a few weeks.

Maybe should be for sale now, before these new ones get here. I know a lot of people are on the fence because they are worried about the V6 but I suspect it will be well received once people realize how much more truck it is.

Mine is built. Just waiting on delivery. Sold my 13 a few months ago and I think I'm glad I did. Sold it for close to what I paid for it.

I'm certain that you are correct. And I'm sure it will be plenty of truck.

But my guess is that no matter what, some people will just want the V8.

True. A guy at work has a black one and we have had the same conversation about the pool of people who wanted the v8 shrinking somewhat while still leaving some diehards who want the v8 and nothing else.

V-6 in a truck makes no matter to me, especially if it has more power. It's a bonus to get better mileage too. I wanted to get mine in 2016 for write off, dealer said as soon as I get my VIN I can pay for it. He says VIN should be here soon. Dealer had 2 allocations, I got jumped by the 2nd order because of commodities at the time. Other fellas truck is building soon.

I considered adding a Raptor to park beside the GT350 but then I remembered I have two teenager daughters who just began driving whose monthly car insurance bill equals a monthly Raptor payment so I will have to settle for the Forza version for now...ahh reality.

Man, I really want one but cant justify it. I put one together on ford.com and the MSRP comes out nearly identical to my GT350

I don't think it will be too long before you can get one sub-sticker. I talked to my favorite local dealer yesterday and was told they're getting 40 in the first year. I think I'll be in for a fully loaded SCREW at $56k.

Same here my local dealer said limited production...they are getting 40...he says thats not a lot. But they are asking 10K ADM...I told him nice try. I have bought three cars from them this year alone and they wont make a deal for me...fk em...I wont ever buy from them again.

 

[krt22]

Yeah there are already dealers with cars on ebay for 10k+ over, only a real fool would bite on those. Ford made 10,000+ a year in the previous run, no reason for them to throttle production at all as im sure they are a big revenue generator.

I considered it for about 2 seconds. And then I came to my senses.....I'll wait till 2018!

Why?

 

[machsmith]

Why?

Because the 4 cylinder will have 550fpt and 480hp.

I want one but will wait until spring when dealers have them on the lots. Then it's just a matter of calling around and finding a crack in the wall

If they won't budge in spring then I'm sure they will by next summer.
