Is the 'R' model going to be a limited production car?
Sponsored
Far more than 500 will be built. Roughly, they are being allocated to dealers in a ratio of 3:1 for those that will receive multiple GT350's. Stores that won't receive more than one or two allocations aren't likely to receive an R allocation, but that won't equate to as few as 500 by any stretch of the imagination.The GT350R will be a limited production model with 500 to be built in 2016 with another 500 for 2017.....

Obviously you have much better information than the rest of us have access to?Far more than 500 will be built.

I certainly agree with all of your comments.Still awaiting my vin# as well.
The 3:1 would only apply to dealers that participated in the GT350 allocation program. No way to know what dealers did participate but many small dealers did not but again unknown how many. Very doubtful Ford would go much beyond 500 in R production where we could see as little as 400 produced. Will be interesting to see how it plays out if production is indeed suspended on R's for the winter then the production window for 2016 R's is certainly narrow as 2017's would begin production in August.
Speak for yourself! I'm in Florida and this is the best season to be driving!Haven't seen an explanation as to when those still waiting for a VIN might possibly hear they've gotten one, although I might have missed it. Word is the VINs are being assigned and cars built and distributed based on Mustang sales in general. So for those of us who have ordered from lower volume dealers and regions a bit out of the way (and by the way probably more prone to MSRP sales) likely won't see our cars until Spring. Apparently production is already set through January so if you don't have a VIN by now you may be in the later groups. Actually OK by me as I don't have to transport home in bad weather and wouldn't drive it in the winter anyway.:chill:
