Not to mention I love peoples reaction when theh say, "OMG, its a Shelby GT350R..."
Dude, I'm sure you already know this, but people do that anyways, LOL.

but at the end of the day, it's either an R or not. Let me be clear, owning either of these car is awesome, both badass machines. Not let the controversy begin, insert opinions below....lol
I confess I have to agree! I've had that similar conversation with some S550 buddies...talking about their mods and their faster car (in a straight line ;), and bla bla bla...same comment applies here as well...at the end of the day, you still wish you had a GT350.

i have considered an R, but would hafta take off the splitter as the regular one barely scrapes with the utmost amount of finesse in/out of my driveway. and with an MGW installed and the res delete, coupled with depreciation, it’s not worth the trade to me.

i’d love to have a set of the OEM wheels, and to not be labeled a clone or wannabe in the process. some people just like that style, i had the 6GRs on my GT and that’s the style wheel i keep going back to.
I'll admit, I'd love and prefer an R. Especially since it's a toy, who gives a rats booty about drivability. But, an R was just too much out of budget...such is life. I'm in the same boat as Andy too...have no idea how I'd get an R in my driveway.

I personally disagree just swapping to R (replica) wheels makes you a clone or a "wanna-be" It's still a GT350. Now, start swapping spoilers and heaven forbid badges, now that's a stretch. The R wheel has REALLY grown on me for looks and fit.

Funny the direction these things go... the OP said nothing about trying to clone an R. Is there a problem if he likes something the R has that can work on his car? Sounds like initially he thought it was a simple swap so considered it. I think the R is bad ass, but I for one don't want an R, need the back seat. If I bought an R, would I be cloning a non-R if I swap the rear seat delete for seats? :lol:

To be honest, you sound a little bitter like you had to settle for a non R...but at the end of the day, it's either an R or not.....lol
If there was an AG R at or below MSRP, I would have gotten one. My ego clearly isn't as tied up in my car as yours, but, hey, I suppose I don't fit the stereotype of the "Mustang douche." I can give a crap about such juvenile things. Every mod I do will surpass performance of the R. I do enjoy modding...For those reasons, the GT350 was my choice. Nice try though...:clap2:
