[Hi-PO Stang]

Congratulations on finding a stunning looking GT350 R. Your GT350 R knows how to pose well. How was the build quality ? The car looks like everything is put together perfectly.

Congrats...!
That beauty came all the way from Smyrna, Georgia. Get used to people saying "That thing talks funny with it’s Southern accent.”
We buy all of our company trucks from Wade Ford.

Congratulations man, that’s a beauty.
Did you ship or drive her home?

Thanks! I had the car shipped from Georgia

looks good congrats. hard to tell exactly but ride height looks a tad high. make sure that the yellow shipping blocks have been removed. anyway congrats again.

Thank you! I read your comment and went to check and lo and behold the car was still on the shipping block suspension. That must explain why I was bouncing all over the road when I took it for a drive haha. Does driving with the shipping blocks cause any damage to the suspension? I had planned on taking my car to the dealer to get the splitter installed but I now I will add the removal of the shipping blocks to the list.

You got the last year Model of a very unique car. Good timing.

I say that Ford will not make anymore FPC engines. I am happy to own mine.

Thanks! I too hope that Ford won't use the FPC in any of their production engines! It makes it that much more special.

Thank you! I personally think the build quality was very good on my R. This was my first time ever owning a Mustang and seeing an R in person so I'm not too sure which areas to look for in regards to build quality issues.

If you look close enough on any car you’ll see issues, not a perfect world.
My problem was listening to all the fitment issues so I started looking closer. Fender to hood gap etc can take some adjustments but now I really don’t care because it’s so dang fun to drive.
The one thing you’ll discover is idiots being idiotic when they see you, every fast car wants a piece of you...funny really.

I had a great experience with Wade Ford. Brandon Jollie the salesman and Danny the manager were great to work with.

Thank you! Once the rest of the goodies get installed at the dealer I plan on getting the car fully detailed, paint corrected then PPF installed, then finally getting new rims.

True, if I tried to look for any imperfection I would probably drive myself crazy. I'm fine with the way my car is and am having a blast driving it. I most likely will run into people wanting to race but I guess that comes with buying a nice sports car. I don't do that stuff but I'm sure it can get annoying. When I went into town yesterday a lady across the street was yelling at me for how loud the car was haha.
