[BadKarma!]

Okay, I will be the first one to start the drooling over the next model year.

What do we know so far pertaining to the GT350 and GT350R for MY 2017?

Literally none of you have driven a 2016 and you're already looking ahead to 2017...

Maybe the 10 speed auto? Could improve fuel economy and sharpen shift times: if the GT350R is as fast as a Porsche 911 GT3 with a manual, I imagine it could be a second or two quicker with an auto option.

I don't see an auto option happening. If Ford won't build a convertible because it doesn't fit the character of the car, then I can't see how they'd justify an automatic. They aren't doing any version of auto for the STs, RS' and the like, I highly doubt we'll see one in the Shelby.

This thread is about 10 months early...And I highly doubt an auto is going in this car.

There will be a best of the Track/Tech pack for the regular GT350 in 17. Packaging miss by Ford Racing, but they hear the demand loud and clear.

I really don't get this bone-headed decision. They went through the same thing with the Boss 302. The first year, you couldn't get the upgraded sync system. A bunch of people complained and sure enough, the second year it was offered.

It's certainly possible that they're doing it on purpose in order to boost second year sales - something I seriously doubt is necessary.

Rather than a combination of the two packages, I'd like to see some standalone options like the MagneRide, Nav, and leather Recaros.

10 speed auto anyone? Seriously though, the Mustang and Ford will be left behind the times if they don't have a dct/ zf 8 speed equivalent. I know that Ford refuses to put the auto/pp combo, auto focus/fiesta st/rs etc, but they must come to the modern era..

Everybody and their mom knows that the highest end exotic cars have NO manuals for a reason, and not even going to bother opening that can of worms..... and for shits and giggles, everybody does know that the auto is always faster than the manual.

This!

Ditto!

That is all...
