Someone get the cheese and crackers ready for when the rest of the non-GT350 forum arrives to let us know their GT350/R value and ADM predictions.

post #2 in this thread! lol, again its ALWAYS the people who dont own a 350 that for some reason "get off" on hoping the prices of these go down....

take a look on cargurus.. there is not 1 '17 or newer car under $50k. but, for those of you that dont own a 350 but keep making stupid comments, i hope that you feel some sense of satisfaction if thats what your looking for :clap2:

Why would there be ANY 17's under 50K? If the car lost like 9-12k value in 1 year that would be even bad for a Nissan. The 16's just started to hit 48-50K range.

With the GT500 looking to keep the same headlamps as the GT350/15-17MY, likely won't be a headlamp change. Would be cheaper to keep that same tooling up and running across 2 vehicle lines at least.

I'm eager to see a real photo of the new GT500 front. I'm wondering if some people may swap them

the way these guys talk like the price is coming down on them you would think there would be tons of '17s for less than $50k... my point was, the only people who talk like this are those that do not own a 350 and for some reason want to see the $$ drop out of them.

Some people just want the price to drop so they can afford one. The issue seems to be that some people seeing other say "the prices will drop" in their heads they hear "barely worth more than a GT" when that's not what's being said at all. No one's expecting GT350 fire sales.

I bought the car to enjoy it. More cars produced means vendors might take notice and come up with some cool parts. all good things for me.

That's pretty much how I feel about it as well.

Just dreaming...but another 50/25 HP/Tq in a 350 would send me to my local dealer with a fistful o’ cash!

Wasn't there a document that mentions/hints at a refreshed 5.2? If that made it's way to the 2019 then I could see the possibility of a mild head/cam/IM/TB update that may be a decent swap. For current owners.

Fairly certain that's referring to the GT500's engine.

Not likely they would need to do a full EPA recertification for that and its probably not worth it for a single year update on a limited production vehicle. But its nice to dream!

I thought that there was a 5.2 and SC 5.2 listed separately. I could be mis-remembering or mixing up two documents.

If I'm remembering correctly, there was the road map document which simply stated a 2019 refresh of the engine, and then the oil requirements document which listed both engines.

That may be what I am thinking of.

For those of you who are concerned about an over abundance of GT350s I’ll speculate that fewer will be sold in 2019 than previous years. Some people looking at the 2019 GT350 may opt for a GT instead with similar performance with the 10 speed automatic. Now if Ford were to offer the GT 350 with a 10 speed automatic, straight line performance would be improved significantly and my previous speculation may be wrong.
