GT350R ordered - anyone else nervous?

It's a scary face, but not hideous.

Saw one yesterday. Didn't know it was an M4 until I got behind it. From every angle it just looks like a 3 Series. However...she did have a VERY nice ass. Face though was just hideous.

I'm an ass-man, too but I think they look good from the front as well :cheers:

Unfortunately the sound it makes when you start it up rivals that of something coming out of your ass :lol:

I prefer a proper manual and high NA power to DSG turbos. It's all about preference.

Didn't know you guys knew each other but suggest next time you stand in front of and not behind him.

This will be the most expensive car I've ever had...and it's not exactly DD material. No one has actually driven them yet... It's the price of a nice M3.... Anyone else nervous? The dealer also had allocation for a GT350...thinking I should have bought that and saved some $...would ease the anxiety. ADM was the same on either, $5k.

$5k markup, not bad. Thought you were gonna say $20k over.

I think it's perfectly normal be nervous. For practical people, it is definitely difficult to justify spending well over $60k on a car. The GT350 would also be the most expensive car I've owned and at first it was definitely hard to quantify spending so much on a Ford, especially when it is close in price to VERY nice BMW. I'm actually still considering an M4, they are amazing cars and insanely fast. But for me the GT350 offers more for less money.

And congrats on getting an R with only $5k ADM. That's a good deal imo.

Starting to feel like I should have grabbed a non-R, since I plan to drive it quite a bit. Cooled seats, a little quieter for sneaking around and longer lasting rubber to start with... I just thought if I was doing 5k over, the R was a better deal...

 

[Snakedriver]

$5K over is a deal.

I ordered the track pack GT350, but my nervousness exists to the extent I have never sat in or driven this vehicle - I've not even sat in a new S550 yet. Essentially buying a vehicle sight unseen based on anticipated technology and looks. Hope it's comfortable!

Yeah, I have sat in a GTPP so I know what to expect there. Like you, most of my nervousness is around being an early adopter of the Voodoo. I hope Ford got that rock solid.

It's funny I buy a lot of cars and I don't think I have test driven the last 10-12 cars I have bought.

Seems to me the question isn't which is the better car, the question is, better car for what?



For what it's worth, the R will probably hold its value far better than the M3.

+1

It should hold its value. I don't see it gaining value. Definitely holding though.

Your reaction makes sense to me.
