Lets hear opinions on the production numbers for the proposed GT500. Same or close to the GT350 ? maybe limited production ?

while you are right, at least they changed the GT500 up every 2 years, (engine and cosmetic).No less limited production then the GT350 judging of of past gt500 production data.
For what it is worth I was just advised that the official total production numbers for the GT350/GT350R for the 2017MY were:No less limited production then the GT350 judging of of past gt500 production data.
My favorite production number is the 526 R's produced in 2016,For what it is worth I was just advised that the official total production numbers for the GT350/GT350R for the 2017MY were:
GT350 - 6173
GT350R - 942
Total - 7115
The above numbers include all pre production models as well.
As far as going back to the original production numbers for the GT500 cars keep in mind that back in 2007 and 2008 Ford built ~19,500 GT500's combined and then after saturating the market the first two years they only built ~3,500 cars in 2009.
Of course those production numbers include smaller amounts of convertibles as well.
It's anyone's guess as to what they will do for production come a year from now subject to pricing and overall reviews for their new halo car.

Agreed although production number 37 sounds pretty good as well just a year earlier!!My favorite production number is the 526 R's produced in 2016,
I like it not because the number is low but because it is 526 and the Voodoo makes 526hp : ) Its corny but a neat little coincidence. Similar to matching the 37 original R's.Agreed although production number 37 sounds pretty good as well just a year earlier!!

Jimmy, I hope that Ford builds at least one more base R model for 2018 as I have had it ordered since last summer.It's somewhat strange that even tho the '17's were nearly doubled in production, they made less base R's for '17 than '16. Or maybe that was just white base R. I can't remember for sure....
Maybe '18 will be 1/4 of '17, since it will be the end of that option during the MY. Who knows, maybe no radio/AC delete R's ever again.
I'm curious to see how long ford rides the GT350 train with no significant changes.
Bought a base R for both MY16 and MY17. IIRC, they made around 64 base Rs in 16 but only 54 in 17 (per recent nearly complete figures, but not per Harry's data above). There were 12 MY17 white base R from that incomplete data. Both of mine are white w/blue OTT. I had to go classic colors.It's somewhat strange that even tho the '17's were nearly doubled in production, they made less base R's for '17 than '16. Or maybe that was just white base R.....
Thanks for the attached info as I cannot get a breakdown of 2017 production numbers at this time and only total production numbers.Bought a base R for both MY16 and MY17.
