PRICING GT350 and GT350R

[Mustang1260]

I think one of the early "R"s was intended to be a track only car (but apparently licensed for the street?) and thus carried the limitation of a competition license to buy one.

NOT the case with later "R"s (2000 Cobra R) nor the Boss Laguna Seca. Ford is allowing factory mods (AC/Stereo) etc to this new R so it is clearly NOT just a track car so the competition license will not be required.

So everyone can buy and drive one if they have the money. But with the understanding that YOU in the GT350R and say Scott Maxwell (Ford Racing driver) in a 2005 V6 Auto on a real road course YOU will lose.

And you have to be breathing too....what is you point? Are you saying you have to have a "race car licences" to buy an "R" model?:headbonk:

Yes. A competition race license.

Yes. A competition race license.

The only thing that Ford has confirmed in regards to this is on the GT350S model which is a non street legal factory race car. If you have an article or press release from Ford saying this please share.

“The Shelby GT350R Mustang is a no-compromise car in the pursuit of maximum track capability,” said Raj Nair, Ford group vice president, Global Product Development. “It is a thoroughbred street car making use of technology and ingenuity to deliver performance few enthusiasts have ever experienced.”

Wow... if you adjust for inflation... the 2016 GT350R is actually less than a 2000 Cobra R was....

2000 Cobra R $54,995 (2015 $74,634)
2016 GT350R around $70,000ish

That would be some major BS on top of ADM.

Let's just wait and see !

Your forum name would imply either a business owner or representative and yet you choose to post absolute bullshit like "requires a license"?

Just stop.

Pricing seems fine. The only thing I'm concerned with is the hp. After having my gt for a couple months I don't feel 520 hp is going to be anywhere close to making me happy. I'm already in need of a serious boost in hp, but have held off because I was waiting for the gt350. I want the voodoo motor, but not sure it will be enough. The gt500 can't come soon enough. Almost ordered a hellcat the other day, but my huge dislike for dodge kept me from pulling the trigger.
