The GT350 really is quite rare

[Tomster]

I agree that not many GT350/R's see to run in the wild but yet Ford has produced some ~20,000 of these cars over the last 4 MY's therefore many of them must be sitting somewhere?

Like people's garages maybe???? I drive my tripple yellow R as much as I can when I'm home, but the avalanche grey sits in the garage and is driven only on occasion.

The plan was to see what the 500 brings and decide to sell or keep the TY R.

To the OP, most people use the 350 as a weekend car. I'm not surprised at all.

I don't see them very often either. I think most people spend a bunch of money on a depreciating asset and then don't drive it. GT350 owners are almost as bad as Corvette guys.

Same. I've only seen a few in NC and never another R.

Here in northern Virginia I can't go more than a week without spotting one. There is a white/blue stripe model around my job, a magnetic/blue stripe on my drive home, black/matte black(hngg!!) around my favorite non-work day Taco Bell spot, and a few more between my apartment and house which is about a 40 minute drive at most. When I worked in Tyson's Corner there were two different blue/various stripe cars running around plus several red/white/black cars as well.

There are a lot in the Bay Area, CA. I see at least 1 every couple weeks. Still makes me happy every time I see one though!

One time I had just parked in a Safeway parking lot and got out of my car when I saw a Magnetic w/ Black stripes about to leave and pull out onto the main road. I jumped back in my car, started it up and caught up to it just to say hi. I pulled up next to it, honked, revved, tried whatever I could to get the dude's attention and he just kept looking straight ahead...even at the damn stoplight. Completely oblivious. Felt bad man.

I've seen a handful over the last few years, and it is exciting to see one.

My other car is a 2008 Audi RS4. I've only seen 2 in 10 years. Of course the '08 US production run was less than 400 cars, so they are rare beasts.

Not many around here either. I didn't see one in the wild for over a year after I got mine in October '16. Since then, I've seen 5 and only once when I was driving mine. We spotted each other and waved.

A guy around the corner from me has a blue '16. I quite often see it parked in his garage as I drive by and I also see him out and around driving. I see GT 350s out on the 401 every once in a while, maybe once a week. Still a pretty rare car around here. I still get lots of attention and thumbs up from other drivers.

Northen AL, I have seen at least 350's. Only 2 R's including mine and I know the owner of the other.

I usually see another when driving my mini-van. I still wave and give a thumb's up, but I wonder if they think I'm a little crazy.

The other day however I did see an R while I was in my non-R. It was an Avalanche Gray with Black stripes. Such a damn good looking (and sounding) car. Always fun to see another one on the road.

I live in the Pittsburgh are and only have seen 1 in the wild until the last 2 days.
Thursday I passed a gray with black stripes on 356 and then just today had a orange furry pass right in front of our driveway for our business on 228 heading towards cranberry twp.

So what are the most common colors and what are the least common colors in the wild?

Also, there should be an official GT350 "wave" or something. Someone come up with a good one

Note: Don't have one YET. Hoping for either a 2018 or 2019 though.

White and Lightening Blue seem to be the most common. And I think I've seen 8 of them at once (track day). The PNW is surprisingly dense with them!

There's one here in College Station that I see/hear every once in a while - but haven't met the owner yet.

I guess it depends where you live. Most of the cars I've seen are magnetic or black.

I live in a relatively small city ( population 80000 ) in British Columbia.My 350 was the first in town followed by a dozen more. I work close to a major highway and see around three different ones drive by every day ! Compared to the U.S. I guess we are swarming with them!! It is the perfect car for our winding roads so I can see why so many are around here in the summer anyway.
