Here is said article mentioning the 5 year production run:

http://autoweek.com/article/car-new...ustang-gt350-gt350r-production-5500-cars-year

So how many other major life decisions are people going to make based on what one Ford dealer supposedly whispered in the ear of an AutoWeek writer? :lol:

BTW, I just heard from a Chevy dealer that the new Camaro SS produces 900 horsepower because it runs on squirrrel urine - but don't tell anyone!

Nothing FORD has ever said is 5 year run..that crap is from this site..and they quote us...I spoke with Jim Owens he said 2 YEARS only !!!!!!!!!!!!!! he said it not me !!!!!!!!!!it also said it would not cross over the GT500...so as the GT350 goes out the GT500 will start...he did not want the cars competing with each other PERIOD.

That would make the most sense

This^^^.:clap2: I heard the same. Having two Shelby branded vehicles confuses the crap out of the general public.

So that would make the 2015 GT350's and the R's thereafter highly sought after. Nice....

No insight really in the article but the comments of having a halo car in their lineup is interesting from the aspect that it would not make sense to have two halo cars with a Shelby in the name produced at the same time.

And you have to remember... There will be the GT, the Raptor, the RS, the 500 and the 350 all in 2017. That's a lot of high performance vehicles over $30K...

And then the following year will be the anniversary of the GT500KR and then who says Ford hasn't been tinkering on an AC Cobra redo?

Very true. While we will probably see the GT500 in '17 I imagine it will be an '18 MY.

Idk, man. Word on the street with the 350 was that it would be a 2016 MY car and then the 137 2015 MY number came out.

Ford may do the same thing to honor the 500. I don't see why they wouldn't.

They made 11,000 first year GT500s for the previous generation, highly unlikely that they would hold the build to 137 units when many thousands could be sold. The handful of '15 GT350s is obviously a fluke and the automotive equivalent of and after thought.

Ummmm.no, the 137 for 2015 was planned far in advance and is not a "fluke".

Haha. You would realize it's not a fluke if you understood the planning and logistics that go into building these vehicles.

This first batch of '15s, 137 of or whatever is nothing more than a '16 that will be titled as a '15. This doesn't require years of "planning" as some here may believe.

Except for....

Certifying the car for 2015 testing regulations

SAE certifying the engine

Etc etc

It is a fairly big deal and was done for 2 reasons

50th Anniversary of the GT350 and to get it to squeak by IMSA regulations

Understand but in reality a very nominal effort for one of the worlds largest corporations.
