Actually, the dealer backtracked and said they wanted a signed letter of intent to purchase the GT500 at “market price”. As a lawyer myself, there’s no way in hell I’m signing such a document. The term isn’t even reasonably ascertainable, so there’s no way it would hold up. I imagine they will...
They wouldn’t get too specific over the phone. But said to be sold at about MSRP or close to MSRP. Lot of dealers around here selling regular GT350’s under MSRP, but that’s on 2019’s. R’s at MSRP. Looking at the numbers, I had understood that they will actually be making more GT350’s R’s in 2020...
I just got off the phone with a dealer sales associate. The SA claims he spoke with a Ford rep yesterday that was at his dealership. According to that conversation, customer ordered 2020 GT350s are going to be hitting the dealerships in August of THIS year? Does that seem possible? Can anyone...
I guess I’ve just never been into modding cars. I had a 2011 WRX which I kept bone stock; no retune, nothing. And pretty much everyone mods those things.
I’ve owned pretty much just European and Japanese cars my whole life. The Bullitt and the GT350 are the literally the first new American...
Comparing the 997 S to the GT350, are there any things you miss from the 911? I mean, I imagine the Shelby’s positives are much better engine note, rarity, better usable cargo space. The 911 pluses are probably handling, steering feel, interior fit and finish, maybe dealership experience...
I’ve definitely narrowed it down to the GT350 as far as the Mustang option. And preferably the R. The M2 is out, although I was intrigued by the possibility of doing a European Delivery. It’s just not special or exotic enough. Everyone drives BMWs around here, and it just blends in with the...
1966, how trouble free was your GT350? Any issues? And how about your BULLITT? Did you have the Recaros in both? I’m curious how the cloth Recaros compare to the leather Recaros in the BULLITT, comfort wise and dimensions.
Thanks. I really do want to get into auto crossing and some track events. I’ve just never had a car I could do it with. I’m also the kind of person that regrets not getting the highest performing model of a particular vehicle, when it’s within my financial reach. I realize that would actually...
No, not sharing the same block as the 500. I don't buy that. Rather, I was reading something about the 350 using the current engine, just reworking the cooling system for it.
At this point, I am waiting until 2020 models year specs get announced. By some accounts, Ford MIGHT be making some tweaks on the 5.2L Voodoo engine for the GT350. That being said, I should be test driving a 2019 GT350 in about a week.
I am dropping the Boss. I'd want a pristine example if...
I also disagree on that point. I love how the 911 has just ever so slightly changed over the years. It is actually instantly recoginizable for that very reason. I believe it’s been said it’s actually the most recognizable sports car in the world.
I don't think I could do the Vette. I just think of the targa top cruising, and hitting 0-60 under 4 seconds, and the eye-popping 1.13 Gs on the skidpad, which suggests that it handles like a dream. Will get a couple more test drives in this coming week. I am kinda leaning towards a 2020...
Anyone have the Recaros in their BULLITT, and regret getting them? I've sat in one with Recaros and they seemed a little snug and perhaps pinching in on my back, just down from my armpits. I am 5'9" tall and weigh about 195 lbs. Kinda stocky. I don't care about the loss of the heat and...
I've never considered myself a Corvette guy, but it's hard to ignore the performance specs of the Grand Sport for the price, especially with the dealer incentives and even greater ones on the horizon with the C8 coming out. Plus, a lightly used 2017-18 will be had for real cheap. So, I should...
Schwerin, please let me know what you think when you install the suspension upgrades in your signature. I can't believe how reasonable the prices are for mods on these vehicles.
