I was off for some time and currently thinking to buy another GT350. I sold R 6 months ago. This time i would by standard GT350.

Sorry for propably stupid already discussed question. I just did
not find any answer using search button or searching online.

I see 2017 cars with standard dash i know from 2016 but i also see cars having different dash without the 4 switches including exhaust switch. There are just 3 buttons instead. So is it new updated dash for all new cars or just some option? Where is the exhaust switch? How can i open/close exhaust?

The base 2017 model does not have the 4 switches (including the exhaust switch). For the base model, to change the exhaust you can use the steering wheel switches and center screen and go to Track Apps - Exhaust Mode.

To get the 4 toggle switches (with the exhaust switch) you need to order the Electronics or Convenience Package.

You'll notice the Electronics and Convenience pack both have the large infotainment screen, the base model has a small screen.

Thanks! Thats what i thought. But I found this 2017 car in Europe for sale. Should be brand new 2017 model. See attached picture. As you can see it has big screen and no switches. Thats why i am confused...I will ask seller.

So basically for base models i have to select sport mode by button on steering wheel,right? Or anything else? And the car stays in sport mode permanently even after i turn it off?

For the base model, you use the left side steering wheel buttons to change the modes in the info screen (between the 2 round gauges). You have to change the exhaust to sport each time the engine is started.

Your picture shows what appears to be a hybrid set-up that is not US spec. It looks like it has the base HVAC controls and lower switches and the upgraded radio controls and a larger screen. I believe the upgraded US spec screen is even larger.

I think that has one of those aftermarket touch screens.

Yes, you right.

How do i recognize 2016 base car from 2017 base car? I know 2017 base car has already magneride suspension and some other stuff compare 2016. But is it noticable from inside of the car?
2016 base won't have the track pack spoiler

And any interior differences? i guess 2016 base does not have suspension button on steering wheel? What button is that on 2016 model? Anything else?

I am looking for 2017 base car in Europe with magnaride,etc. I need some advices to make sure its realy 2017 with magnaride,better cooling,etc I mean anyone can put spoiler on 2016 car. Production year stated in papers and title might not say truth since its EU papers are issued individually afterwards...

All '17s have MagneRide and coolers, etc. Check the VIN, if it has an H, like Hxxxxxxx, it is a 2017.
