What Other Cars Are You Shopping Besides the GT350?

[FPCV8YO]

I already have a 335i sedan, so I feel like I need to differentiate and go with the coupe should I get a F8x.

I'd probably feel bad dragging a GT350 through the snow. I wouldn't with a M4.

There is a big internal battle brewing inside of me. My head says M4. My heart says GT350. My dealer-friend says both. My wife says one or the other. ;)

I'd go M4 in a heart beat if I could afford it.

GT350 and with (what I assume) the left over cash, a winter driver.

Lots of amazing new cars keep coming.

More expensive options

Used 2013/2014 GTR Premium/Black Edition
2015 Lexus RC F
F80/F82 M3/M4
2015 RS5
(W205) C63 AMG Sedan

Save some money and go for

2015 435i M Sport
2015 S4/S5

GT350 is just going to be hard to beat priced under 60K especially with that "FPC" 5.2 V8!

If you like the size/looks, I'd put the M235i on that list. I had the chance to test one recently and it was a lot of fun. I'd take it over the 435i M-Sport.

GT350 is on the list. Thats it really. I would like to test drive a Hellcat though. I did drive a Eco-Boost PP and was happy with the room in the 15's. Felt better than my 11 IMO.

 

[garagelogic]

Nothing. This car, it seems thus far, is exactly what I am looking for. I have no passion for anything of European or Asian origin, and the z/28, while an impressive track performer, goes too far in that direction for someone who might see Road Atlanta or Barber once to twice a year.

 

[Viperbluecobra]

2013-14 GT500 or 2015 Hellcat

Unfortunately I would not utilize the GT350 for what it is built for, and would only be disappointing when I make that occasional trip to the drag strip with my buddies.

Camaro does nothing for me...

 

[garagelogic]

Here's my list:
1. GT350 (will depend on cost and availability)
2. GT/PP with mods
3. C7 Z51
4. Cayman GTS

GT350 is in the lead by far, so the only show stopper is where the price ends up and whether they are available. I hope they won't be a limited run.

As I understand it, it will be a limited run, but in the manner of the GT500 in the past few years, i.e. there will be enough made that anyone who wants one/is able to afford one will be able to acquire it. I do not see it being limited in the way the 50th LE is.

In no particular order:

M4
C63 AMG
GT350

The FPC V8 lights a fire in my soul, but I'm looking for a DD that I can drive year-round and will work well when taking clients out. I'd also like a spacious enough back seat to handle a car seat.

Whats nice about the M4 is it has real back seats if you have to take clients. I am Realtor and when I couldn't borrow my wifeys Escape I had to take the M3, so back seats were important. The Mustang was no better than my 07 Porsche 997S, my current E92 M3 can fit 6'2" tall adults back there with no issues.

Yeah, I wouldn't want to shove a client in the back seat of a Mustang.

Luckily, I only need to shove my kids back there.

Hell, just wait for the M2.

Hell, just wait for the M2.

That may defeat the purpose of saving money, though. ;)

I'd most definitely be limited to one adult passenger with the Mustang, that's for sure. But at least if I can plan ahead I have the 335.

 

[R 350 gt Donson]

I am looking at several cars
1) 2014 Aston Martin V8 Vantage was 127K mark down to 98K
2) 2015 GTR was 111K mark down to 93K
3) 2015 Z06 Convert Vette was 95K mark down to 86K
4) 2014 Viper GTS 127K mark down 89K
My fear is that the GT 350 R will be limited order and the damn dealerships will ask a 15K "market adjustment to the "optioned R" that will bring it to 65K plus a 15K premium of 80K in which, I will just get a Z06 convertible...
