GT500 Will Kill GT350 Prices, No?

I have 2 red keys and 1 black key (which keeps car in valet mode). Which key do you think I leave shops?
Not weird.
Exactly what I thought too, but I don't want to ride the guy too hard
Doubt it. Different cars. Any change in R pricing is just because the car is continuing to be built and therefore more units are available. R guy and 500 guy not looking for the same thing.
Without getting into other details, the blower alone should be an easy indicator on that. There are other substantive differences between the cars people at least claim to buy cars based on...
How long are you going to keep harping on that?? You claim to have a new Demon, but you keep hanging around in GT350 forums. Salty much? Are you mad that GT350/GT350R owners don't give a single damn about Hellcats/Demons being faster in a straight line?
I think most of the worrying about the cost of GT350s comes from people who can't or don't want to pay for one. The high price of new entry also affects the used market. Used GT350s are still selling for near MSRP, and they don't like it.
I'm confused why you would think Ford is even remotely worried about pricing the new GT500 where the GT350 is/was. Never going to happen! The new GT500 will probably base at $75K. Even if Ford priced it at $100K, they'd probably still be able to sell every one of them. The GT350/GT350R got the attention of high end sports car shoppers. Those same shoppers no doubt have their eyes and ears open for what the GT500 will bring to the table. It's high time that Ford move the Mustang further up market.
You could afford a new R but opted for a used Track Pack? You seem about as salty as OP about the prices.
I seriously doubt you'll find any dealers selling Rs at MSRP. GT350 prices might be taking a minor hit right now, but it has zero to do with the vaporware GT500. It's the middle of winter. Sports car sales always take a hit in the winter.
Does the 911 Turbo S affect GT3 prices? Not in the least. Does the 911 Turbo S perform as well as the GT3? Just about, but it doesn't feel anywhere near as agile and precise as a GT3. The Turbo S is actually faster than the GT3 on longer, less technical tracks. That fact still doesn't affect GT3 sales or prices. It'll no doubt be the exact same with the GT500 and GT350/GT350R. Two different cars that accomplish the same task differently. The GT500 will be faster on longer, less technical tracks. In any case, it won't feel anywhere near as scalpel-like as the GT350R, thanks to it being nose heavy and having a supercharger. Just look at how the GT350R keeps taking the overall win against the ZL1 in reviews. It's simply a better driving car. Putting up the fastest lap time isn't what it's always about.
You may see that as me trying to justify my R, but it's not. My R will stay right where it is in the garage, and the new GT500 will be added alongside it, if I like what I see. But I'm going to be holding out for a GT500R/GT500KR variant.
Priorities are all in order, I see.

Hey Chris, would this be the first time you left a forum before you were permanently banned?

Again, this shows how much the OP knows about the cars his trust funds have purchased.
OP had a Hellcat and now claims to have a Demon and thinks a Black Key is required to keep the car in valet mode.
You can have any key, press valet on the touchscreen, enter a 4 digit code, and valet mode is enabled. Until you unlock the valet mode with your secret 4 digit code, the car remains in Valet mode.
I know because I have used mine several times.

since i like booze...yesI have a private spot that's mine where I keep the car. Probably the best spot in this city. Never a door ding or worry. Here's my spot when my Cat was in it. Any more questions I can answer. Sipping on a glass of Louis XIII right now...need to see that bottle too?
well then..i was clearly still reading lol
If you are not sharing photos of your Demon until it's done, why did you create this thread at Hellcat.org and post photos of what you claimed was your Demon?

I got it, he has one.
Booky posted a link of him claiming a red one is his and he posted a white one here. So either he has two or....
edit misread. That was his HC

I saw that t
I saw that, I guess I need to go through some history on here when I get time.
looks like he was much loved on hellcat.org also lol.... what a total jerk
I don't know why anyone would want this new GT500. The GT500 should have its own engine like it's always had. I'll keep my 13, I don't want a gt350 with a blower if I did I would have bought one.

Um.... what? I want the new GT500 because it’s going to be the baddest mustang yet. I suspect a lot of other people want one too for similar reasons. I don’t know why anyone would not want one.
It’s not a GT350 motor.
Back to the original post here...
I think this is true, I hate to say it but yes. Once big brother is out the 350 will be less desirable. I hate to say this but it’s the hard truth. I posted here in this section recently about trading my 13 500 for a 17 avalanche grey 350 that I am still in love with. My number one reason is that I didn’t want to be underwater in the car within 12 months from today. I have enough for a decent down payment plus my trade in and still I think the 350s will be selling for far less by November/December. HOWEVER I may use this to my advantage and buy one at this point the 2019 500’s will be selling for 100k+ for the first year or two ( at least here in AZ they will). The main reason they will drop in price is the fact that the new 500 will prolly smoke the 350R on the track, which is crazy to say honestly but also the hard truth. It will not be a one trick pony like the past and or any hellcat. The 350 will be a “track” only car and the 500 will be a “ drag and track” car that will post better numbers in both.
The 350 will hold its specialty by its voodoo sound. That will be the thing that it’s rerembered for down the road.
