Very interested in the one in VA. Do you know what they are saying it’s over sticker? Just turned done one for 7K over sticker when they told me it was fully loaded and I find out it doesn’t have the carbon fiber interior in TX.
give em a call. hear it from the horse's mouth.
It just arrived in Glendale, AZ. Magnetic Gry, blk roof, stripe delete, CF trim, Handling pkg, leather sport seats, electronics pkg. I pick it up Friday.
You're missing the front splitter and the calipers. It's your car, but the faux R leaves a bad taste in my mouth and I think others are going to feel the same way. The track pack 350 is a great car. There's no reason to disguise it.
I hear ya. And I expect that response. As for the splitter and the calipers, the cost vs. functionality is unwarranted, in my opinion. I just like the look of the R better which is the reason I did what I did. And I’m not trying to fool anyone. This is just for for me. I’m a “to each their own” kind of person. Just wanted to share and i know people will be turned off but I’d rather be honest than try and pass it off like other people might.
Trying to please the masses or get collective praise on any social media site is impossible.
Very well put and thanks for the kind words!
Great looking car! Do you plan to track it?It just arrived in Glendale, AZ. Magnetic Gry, blk roof, stripe delete, CF trim, Handling pkg, leather sport seats, electronics pkg. I pick it up Friday.
I really like your car! I don’t see anything wrong with liking the look of an R and mimicking many of its characteristics. It’s not like it says R everywhere or you are advertising it as an R. There are plenty of people who slap AMG or M badges on cars that are not those models. I think that’s totally different then modifying your car to look the way you want.So a bit of backstory. I've had 9 Mustangs over the years. Foxes, S-197s, and S550s. I currently have a 2015 Ecoboost Race Red Roush as my daily, but I had a 2009 GT/CS show car for nearly 9 years. I did everything imaginable to it. I eventually had so much time, effort, and cash invested in it that I got paranoid about driving it. I'm sure a lot of you can relate. So I made the decision to sell it and snagged this Oxford White 2017 GT350. It's chassis number H0583. Track pack with all the goodies. Now it obviously doesn't look like the standard GT350. In the interest of full disclosure, and because I am an honest person, I wanted an R but I could not find one close to me and after researching the differences between the standard 350 and the R, I decided to convert this one to resemble the R. The only differences are stiffer springs, three additional coolers, and the seats/lack of backseats. Otherwise, it's purely cosmetic. So I changed everything needed to make it resemble the R (everything but the seats...steering wheel, wheels, door sills, dash ID badge, front grille, trunk lid fascia, wing, stripes, etc). I realize I might get some hate over what I've done, but I'm not out there to try and fool anyone by simply posting pictures and claiming it's a real R. Especially not here. It's just that the real Rs are few and far between here in Kansas and the ones I did find were seeking a premium. I wasn't interested in using it for the track, and since that's mainly what the R is for, it was a better decision for me to just make mine look like an R rather than spend the crazy extra moolah just for three coolers, stiffer springs, and uncomfortable seats. With that all being said, here she is. Comments are welcome, good or bad, thanks for looking, and I'm happy to be part of the club! - Mike
Thanks!
