Basically, there are more people in California. More targets of opportunity + less accountability = higher prices. A dealer in a large city in California doesn't have to depend on repeat customers, so there is a lot of gouging going on here.

I would almost think the opposite for a car like this, that the ADM would be higher in Mass than CA due to Mass dealers having much smaller if any allocations.
I went to my dealer for a 2012 Laguna seca. He couldn't get any, not even any regular Boss 302's. The dealer in Alabama where I got it from, had 9 boss 302 and 1 LS.
I called him about the GT350, he got 7 regular and 1 R for 2016, and expects the same for 2017.
My dealer sells 10-12 mustangs a year, dealer in Alabama sells 300-400 mustangs a year. Of course he will get more allocations.
The R is different than the 13/14 GT500.
GT350 production will be comparable to the GT500's.
The R will not.
I had an offer to buy an R today.. But I had to buy 37 F-150's with it. Dumping $1.8mil just to get 1 meaningful car just wasn't in the cards for me lol
Really and what would you have sold it for?
$45k. :dw:
I would've turned around and sold it to another dealer that's paying $25k+ for them before it even hit my showroom.

EDIT: I know some of you guys have a short memory...but when the 2013 GT500s hit the dealer's lots, they were the fastest moving vehicle (lowest days in stock) in recent history.
It's because some of the "cool kids" keep coming around and talking like it's a GOOD thing to pay ADM on a Mustang. And you know how most people don't want to stand up to the "cool kids."
Dealerships are betting there are more stupid people out there than there is GT350(R) production. And, unfortunately, they're winning every hand!
Chevy looks like they really mean business this time around with the new ZL1 and Z/28! I wouldn't mind owning either one of them.
Its cool man. I don't like ADMS any more than you do. MA is simply not CA. So my choice was NOT to get what I really wanted....or pay some ADM. This time I paid ADM.
Bingo. All the ADM homers keep saying the same thing as well. No one wants to pay ADM, no one condones paying ADM, and certainly no one actually celebrates paying ADM. Its just a harsh reality of the current market for the R. If you want an R, 99% chance (or higher) that you will have to pay some ADM, if you aren't willing to pay an ADM, 99% chance you will not ever own the R. Very simple!Please provide links to all previous discussion where people say "It's good to pay ADM on a Mustang." It's not good, it's not bad. You can either whine about the market price of goods and service until the earth is destroyed in a fiery apocalypse or you can move on with your life. Jesus.

Blah blah blah.
Who are these "cool kids" you speak of? Keep up the good fight man, it's really working out for you.
