Yes I asked if there was going to be a Blue Badge for the touring pac. Jim said NO...just red for the "R" and silver for the standard GT350...
Spoiler for the TECH pac small, Spoiler for the TRAC pac bigger, The "R" got the WING.. The Base model GT350 was basic the regular Mustang GT with the Special Engine (FPC) No magnetic ride but the PP Mustang GT springs. So theoretically, what ever the cost over the regular GT Mustang engine and a few pieces of aluminum front fenders and hood is want the Base GT 350 will be over the Mustang GT...I think all of our prices are way over what the base GT350 will come in at.

Think you may be a bit confused. The base GT350 suspension will be different than the GTPP suspension, the springs will not be shared. Also, the GT350 is more than just an engine, hood and fender change over the GT, it has a carbon fiber composite radiator support, and a few other carbon fiber composite bits, much better aerodynamics and other suspension and chassis tuning. The $53k predicted price seems right to me.

I think pricing will be in line with last years gt 500.
Base price around 52 and loaded with track pack and other goodies 67000 for 350r

It'll be a lot of car for 53k. I wish it were available in grabber blue.

Whether or not it has the exact springs as the regular GT was not my point. The base GT350 will have springs, over the premium "Magnetic ride" and my other point was if you take away the cost for the regular core support and added the "composite radiator support" then...you take away the extra cost of aluminum fenders and hood and then.....add the difference in cost etc....the BASE GT350 will, and should not be that much over the GT Mustang. This is all Im saying. In other words I think everyone will be surprised on the price, thus lowering my guess on price

I'm curious to see how much the Tech and Track packages add.
