Is it worth it to go from a 2017 non R to a 2020 non R

They have a 19 magnetic gray that they are $3k under sticker on. I just would much rather have the blue.

Let me send you a ford performance blue with a 5k markdown from msrp. It's in the Toledo area.

I sent you the link on facebook.

So I checked out a Ford Perfomance Blue 2020 GT 350. They would give me $45k for my car and the 2020 is $65k. Is it worth $20k to get it? Mine has Recaros and this on has the comfy seats.

Not to me. Not even close for $20k plus sales tax.

Not a chance I would take a $20K+ hit on my 2017 to get into a 2020.

Throw a blower on your 2017 for 10k and have even more smiles per gallon.

I defend the 350 to the hills and I think what happened to the '19+ cars is a very good thing. HOWEVER, personally, I'm thinking no.

Cup 2 tires, new front sway bar set to mid stiff, a Steeda S550 Race Wing, and Carter's Customs hood vent and honestly, you're at least 50% of the way to a '19+ car in terms of MEASURABLE track performance for $1,500 + a consumable (call it $1,600 for the tires). I will admit, the brakes "issue" is a bit tricky but after talking to some people, sounds like the 15 - 17 cars just need a little more rear down force and it settles down the rear during braking on long straights.

But hey if you want the latest and greatest, I get it. The one scenario I will say is if you ever plan on boosting the car, then the answer is a definite yes. Get a '19+ car.

What's the down force on that wing compared to stock

 

[svttim]

Yes

My understanding is smack in between the old Track Pack spoiler and the R wing. And very minimal drag.

With the gurney flap; without gurney than less than the old track pack

Why does your name sound soo familiar? Where you on ChicagoSVT back in the day?

Eh? Steeda's Race Wing doesn't have a gurney flap.

Yes, that statement is true of downforce generated by '19+ GT350 "swing".
Track pkg. spoiler: 186lbs.
'19+ "Swing"/spoiler wing: 135lbs.
( " ) w/ Gurney Flap : 238lbs.

I looked over Steeda website and couldn't find downforce # on their Race Wing.
Presume you got that from conversation w/Steeda? Sounds like this Steeda RACE version and oem "Swing" w/ flap installed may be comparable.

 

[svttim]

Better yet, get a 19R

My bad, thought the question was about comparing the new ‘19 spoiler vs 15-18 spoiler, not the Steeda wing.
