Where in Alberta are you? If in Calgary we can have a Base GT350 meet

Calgary. Done and done.

Which dealer did you purchase from?

Northstar Ford

Northstar Ford

Did Marty Giles give you a fair price? MSRP?

My wife used to work for him, he's actually a good owner to work for and an overall good dude.

I went through advantage and managed $423 off msrp and a free Shelby cover. Best deal I've heard of, not that it's that good anyway haha. Mind you I had a trade which helped.

Hey Everybody,

Just introducing myself and my new car.

2016 GT350 CDN Base model - Stripe delete oxford with black roof.

One of 30 base in the country and only 425? total Gt350's. 1 of 1 color scheme.

I must say I love this car so far, it just suits my personality so well. Coming from a 2014 Nissan GT-R, this is the car that truly makes me smile.

165kms put on in a day of driving!

Another Canuck your car looks awesome welcome Eh

Thank you Sir. It certainly has a presence with its 295/305 tires and streamlined body.

It looks good, I wholeheartedly agree

Wow, $423 off msrp and a free cover, that's unheard of around here.

Was lucky to even get msrp . Some SVT dealers around here are still marking up their Shelby's.

Oh well, good for you and welcome eh !

Thanks MP.

Yeah as for the little bit of cash off MSRP, I had a firm trade in value I wanted and they did oblige. What the finance had to do is give my trade a whole number and they took the rest off of the MSRP. Part of the deal was I absolutely had to test drive it and I needed a car cover.

Anyway, the Dealer has 3-4 cars on the lot right now and will deal MSRP. In fact, they have a referral program so if anyone wants one let me know I'll send you to the Manager I dealt with and I can throw some of the referral cash your way to potentially pay for some shipping costs. Now it just sounds like I work for them, but I don't lol.

It is the opposite, however I must defend the GTR. Even though it wasn't as emotional as the Mustang, it was without a doubt a supercar. It was a chassis designed to hit way above its weight and the way it put power down was insanity. Barely any vehicles can slingshot out of apexs' like it.

Alas it just wasn't the car for me. It's much much faster than the Mustang, especially because I'm 3700ft elevation.

The civic beside the mustang is what really made me want the Mustang. Isn't that strange? I owned it since new and just recently sold it to my brother. We did full bolt ons, tuned and roughly 220whp @8700 rpm. Small little 2L NA. I love revs.

[MENTION=22615]Darkane[/MENTION], I too had a 2014 GT-R. Currently hunting for a GT350R. I always laugh when people who never driven/owned a GT-R and call it sterile, a video game, drives itself, etc etc. It's an amazing vehichle, and punches way above it's class. Def too fast for how "little" hp it has and how heavy it is, freak of nature. Enjoy that 350!

As someone who is involved in motorsports, I drive most non-exotic cars that come out, most of which are modified for racing. Having driven modified GT-Rs, I stand by my informed opinion. I didn't make any comment on the GT-R's performance or capabilities. I merely feel it is a sterile experience, compared to many other cars.

An 01 or 02 R34 GT-R V-Spec II is still on my future list of cars to own, once 2026 rolls around.

I hope you enjoy the 350, Darkane.

Please let unobtanium welding use your car to make exhaust for the 350! He does some outstanding work. If I lived up there mine would be there (when it gets here).

Yes Chris is a true artisan. I've been thinking of titanium options for the gt350 and he did a custom 996TT exhaust that was mind bending.

I may have to contact him later ;).

He said busy season is coming and he'd love to get his hands on one!

I like the color combo! Looks great! The pic with your son is priceless.

Little update:

So like a lot of you guys my car had some poor panel alignment, unacceptable for a halo car (as of now).

Anyway my dealer is working closely with their body shop to make it right. The owner of the dealer has a network in town and has his own body shop as well to service all the dealerships.

As of this writing the dealer and body shop have been nothing but professional and inviting. Let's see how the work ends up. I may post some before and after pictures.

Love the car and its booked for xpel in a week and a half. The shop that is going to do it has done most of the supercars in town including a couple Hypercars.
