Agreed. I have seen maybe 5 on the streets in the last 3 years. I have never seen an R. For those who unwisely bought a GT350 as an investment you'll have to wait until you are too old to remember your name or dead to see your money back. IMO R owners stand a chance of keeping most, all or even more of their investment. Even with an additional year of production, the numbers for the R are minuscule. I am guessing there will have been more 2nd gen GT's built than R's when all is said and done.
Cars are not investments. If you buy one, expecting it to become more valuable, you are speculating, not investing. If you're lucky, and not many examples of a particular desirable model survive in the future, then yours will become more valuable. If you're unlucky, and many survive, yours will not.

In two years in Austin, Texas, I've seen two GT350s besides mine, and no Rs.

A couple weekends ago I saw well over 50 GT350's in one day in Southern California. ;)

Also... saw 3 R's in the same parking lot all parked next to each other!

As someone still standing on the sidelines, all this news about more production could not be better. I say flood the market with as many350's and R's as possible ;-P

That was months ago, using the vin from a pp2 on eBay I’d have to double check next week
Thanks. It's supposedly a 24 mm (so slightly larger than the R 23.6 mm) but has the standard length 'arms' vs the shorter ones on the R bar.

part numbers are confirmed using HVBOM for VIN 1FA6P8CF7K5178097

curiously, there are no bushings listed separately for the front sway bar. Catalog does say "tremor package, with insulator" so I would take that to mean the bushings are serviced with the bar. As for the rear, There are no such notes (the rear bar isn't in the parts catalog) but bill of materials shows a rear bushing of F2GZ 5493 C which is also the same number for a GT350R vin I ran. I hope this helps!
