I don't know what posts you've been reading. I haven't been trying to "justify" anything. I don't need to. And if you call me "homie" one more time... Don't think I don't know what you're doing.

You have. The GT350R is God's gift to Earth in your opinion.

Me calling you homie has nothing to do with anything haha I can't tell you how many people I've called "homie", homie. Quit your race baiting bullshit.

I guess the handful of customers your shop sees weekly speaks for everyone. Step outside your bubble. The only people saying Ford "dropped the ball" with the GT350 are the dumdums who didn't know what they were buying and just wanted the next shiny new thing, and people who couldn't buy one in the first place and are just salty. Not one GT350 owner who knew what he/she was buying is complaining.


As 13Cobra stated, my customers are people who want more performance out of their vehicle, you know, car enthusiasts (like you and I). They ALL knew what they were buying prior to purchase, and were still unhappy with the GT350. The cars aren’t that impressive, it is what it is. They cannot be remotely utilized on the street to their potential, which in turn makes them mediocre at best. I for one do not rev to 7000+ RPMS (the GT350s main selling point) on my daily commute, do you?

And here we are yet again, you don’t know what you’re talking about, homie.

I'd sure like to see some of my posts where I even remotely tried to infer that the GT350R is "God's gift to Earth." And I wasn't "race baiting." Interesting that your mind went immediately to that, though. We don't know each other. I'm not one of your "homies."

...

Every chance I get! That's why I bought it. If the owner doesn't want to rev it, why the hell did they buy it in the first place. Makes zero sense. I rev mine out to 8250 at least one run every time I drive it.




As expected, SVTP members continue to be as predictable as the sunrise.

Hmm... Wonder why they didn't build 26,000 since the demand is still such that dealers can still charge and get ADMs on them. For your reading pleasure: http://autoweek.com/article/car-new...ustang-gt350-gt350r-production-5500-cars-year

Sure, they overshot it, but it's still limited production. Otherwise, they would've made tens of thousands of them. See how that works?

They didn't build 26,000 because dumb ass greedy dealers are still charging over MSRP so LESS PEOPLE ARE BUYING THEM, therefore they inherently don't sell as many.

Only a true dumb ass would pay an ADM, knowing you lose that mark up in addition to the traditional 10% of new car value the moment you drive off the lot.

What's that saying about people with more money than brains?

Good try again.

I love the GT350R, much more than the last GT500. However, I realize, not everyone is the same as me. Some like the classic look more and some like the torque down low. I get it, but thank goodness we all aren't the same, there would be no variety. Not much fun in that.

Salty much? LOL If you can't afford it... What you say is illogical. If people weren't buying them, they would be selling at a discount a la Camaro ZL1. But since the market is actually bearing the markups on GT350s, "greedy ass dealers" will continue to charge it. If Ford wanted to kill the ADMs (and the value), they'd flood the market with GT350s. But it's a limited production vehicle, so they aren't doing that.

His mind immediately went to that because it’s all you do....and got it. Because you drive your car like a 16 year old (revving it out every chance you get, your words not mine) - it’s the greatest thing. Never mind the fact I respond with ACTUAL evidence.

This is why you’re a joke on this forum.

Here's your chance to prove your point, simply answer one question...don't blow it!

What is the production limit for the 2018 GT350?

what the **** are you talking about? I have my customers tell me weekly how Ford dropped the ball with the Shelby GT350.....you live in denial.
Dodge opened a door that was slammed in the mid 70s, and then knocked the wall down as it blasted onto the market.

I'm waiting on a COPO Camaro vs Demon showdown.

I was expecting "Homes" or "Home slice". He baited the hook.

This isn't smsckdown though. We have to be civil and polite.
