Avalanche grey is soooo nice. I look forward to seeing it!

I bought my 2016 in January with 2,804 miles. As part of the purchase, I had the dealership install a new battery, as it was still on the original. It was a little weak when I first started it, but that’s somewhat to be expected. The dealership had it for a few months.

I saw a HEP R with exposed carbon rims this weekend. The carbon looks incredible by itself… but I must say that I actually prefer the looks of the black accents on the car, and I think it all looks best matching as black. I do love the carbon track pack on the GT500s, but the black looks best on...

What a weekend! Saturday was a cruise and then racing go-carts at the Ridge Motorsports park in Shelton, WA (I got 3rd in the carts, NBD… 😁). At lunch, I got to spend some time with the president of Shelby. I was surprised to learn that trucks are 75% of their business now! Today was an all Ford...

What color is the R? Seems like a reasonable premium to me…

All things being equal, a $7k premium for an R is a no brainer. As already stated in this thread, I too believe that the R will start to seriously separate itself from the GT350 in the near future. There were 20,564 GT350’s made, compared to 3,646 R’s. Thats a significant difference in rarity...

Awesome stuff. I bet that car is a blast.

🤷‍♂️ +48.43WHP according to Livernois

It seems like the only upgrade that wakes these cars up, short of forced induction. 40-50+ whp, right? I've decided to keep mine stock, but I'd be interested in hearing the experience of those who've done it. The only other bolt-ons I've seen that are worthwhile is an intake manifold (requires...

Very cool!

@VooDoo1983 are you on this Facebook group? 2016 white gt350r. Worth investigating!

Condition is more important than Carfax. Let that be a guide, but if it’s in great shape, enthusiast owned and well cared for over the past 5 years… that’s a great sign!

Don't buy black unless you REALLY want black... never again for me! My last sports car was a 2011 e92 M3 in Jerez black. It was always dirty! Some people love black, but I'll never do another car that requires hand washing in black. If it was a truck or SUV that I could take through the...

Not even an R?! I have been noticing a significant spike in asking prices for all gt350s… $104k for a non-R seems STEEP.

OP, it seems clear to me that you should get rid of the GT350, especially because you said that if you were to have any mechanical failures, it would be financially catastrophic for you. With a kid on the way, that seems like an irresponsible roll of the dice. IMO, sell the GT350 and take...
