Itās good the dealer took the car back. Thatās an honorable move on their part.
In the future, you should negotiate from MSRP. All those add-ons just set a higher starting point that is almost all dealer markup. In this case even if you felt like you got $3K off you were still paying MSRP or...
Great garage.
I also came from European cars and found the seat too high.
What I read is that it is what it is. The only way to go lower is to replace with an aftermarket seat and bolt it to the floor.
If you end up having custom brackets made, get two sets made and Iāll buy one.
I read that as being a HEP R. I was almost about to make $100K on a flip!
As a HEP base, it looks like it's only about $7K under top of market (https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2020-ford-mustang-shelby-gt350-23/).
𤣠Vicious.
Respect to BostonDMD for realizing a $100K (>100%) profit on a GT350R in two years. Iād park a car in a garage if I knew I could do that. What doesnāt make sense is buying one for a long term hold when who knows what will happen in 20-30 years. Just buy stocks.
Driving a fast car fast is legit if you have the skill and the means and arenāt interested in real racing.
I do respect that something like a Miata lowers the cost of consumables by half, the cost of the car by two-thirds, and lets you access popular racing series like Spec Miata. You can still...
Iāve never done East or Full, only West. West is very tight so they say East is more fun for our high HP cars. Frankly most people at HPDEs are such mediocre drivers I find it fun to match or beat Miata lines on the tight West course and then blast off like a rocketship between the turns. The...
I went to an SCCA Track Night in America at Thunderhill West today, burned some rubber, and frightened some geriatrics driving C7 Corvettes like they were going to the grocery store.
This thread is sad for two reasons. One, many of you are turning your GT350Rs into garage queens in hopes of replicating @BostonDMDās big win. Second, I own a 2019 GT350 instead of a 2020 GT350R Heritage, so I will have to continue working for my money. š»
Iāll be there. Anyone else?

Most insurance companies will not let you over-insure a car because that would create an incentive for you to total it, collect the money, replace it at a lower cost, and profit. That said, Hagerty may not be as thoughtful about this as mainstream insurance companies, or they may have decided...
10 hours of driving around the North Bay. Represented the GT350 with Breakfast Club Rally (a Bay Area car group) in the morning and split off on my own to discover some new roads, but probably overdid it. Too much seat time in one day. š“
