That's a silly comment. I don't buy cars over MSRP. Rarely I'd even consider buying a car AT MSRP. Simple as that.
The hype fades and prices get reasonable for everything.
I have called a few dealers in SoCal and thus far the lowest price I've been quoted was $10k over MSRP on a regular GT350.
I'll either wait it out or not buy one. Markups are nonsense.
yep, just as I said earlier...this engine has curves VERRRY similar to the s65/s85. Impressive how much more power under the curve the voodoo puts out even against the s85 (since the displacement is similar)
another thing to note...those of you hoping buy a GT350 and get massive bolt-on increases should really look elsewhere. With that sort of powerband, 12:1 comp, and already over 100hp/liter there isn't going to be a lot to squeeze out left....unless you go FI.
I'm actually cross-shopping a GT350 vs an f80 m3. I know they are very different cars, but they aren't priced *too* far apart. The engine in the GT350 has a powerband more like my current v8 m3, which I love. But take a look at this overlay with the new m3's s55 inline 6.
It makes more...
hell no they wouldn't do that. The typical GT owner wouldn't like this motor to be quite honest. It needs to be REVVVVVVED. Plus Ford would never let their fleet mileage slip that bad by allowing a normal model to get such terrible mileage.
the powerband looks pretty much dead on with my e90 m3 engine...if you were to make my 4 liter motor a 5.2 liter motor. Similar torque curve, hp curve, redline...everything.
Props to Ford. The way a motor like this will pull is the stuff of dreams. Spine-tinglingly awesome. Anyone bitching...
Well, after waiting since May I just go too antsy....ended up picking up a CPO 2011 BMW M3 sedan. I think I decided I'd rather drive something already depreciated significantly for now, and pick up a GT350 in 2-3 years.
If anyone is interested in snatching up my order, let me know. It was...
That's sweet! You also gave them the variant of the 2015 with the most aggressive fitment (6-piston brakes), which is great! I suppose they'd probably like to have a 4-piston and a standard brake variant to measure as well. Since those folks will potentially have a few more options that fit.
