Grabber blue didnt make the leap to the new design, so I doubt that Ford will bring it just for the Shelbys.

Most likely, look at what's available on the current model but not all of them will make it to the Shelbys

Hope grabber blue makes it to the GT350 option list!

If it does, Ill be putting in an order soon as the banks open!

But sadly, I think this is probably the real world case...

From the dealer order screens seen early before 2015 ordering opened, it looked like the only added color was Avalanche gray. Now, I don't see why that couldn't change...but that's what was seen early on for the shelby.

I'm going for exactly what's in my sig. My 135i was similar, and it was so easy to take care of.

Okay, so I went to the show last night, I'm at LAX right now waiting to leave. The Ford reps were very knowledgeable and polished but they didn't have much definitive info as the car is still in development. When I asked when the 350-R would be revealed and asked if Detroit was the game plan the guy said it was a great guess. I've got pics and videos but nothing ground breaking. I'll try and post more later. Sadly the car is up on the display and you can't get under it enough to see the driveshaft. Sorry, Tob, I tried!

I am curious about the 19 inch tire height and dimensions. I would like to get a set on the back of my 12 gt500 with the Ford racing 19 x 10 factory appearing wheel. Anyone have a picture of the tires side wall and know the height?

Don't laugh. I've envisioned the scenario you were presented with in my mind over and over again. It's all so crystal clear....a GoPro, a carefully spooled length of dental floss, and a flick of the wrist that would make even the most adroit table shuffleboarder jealous. Boom.

:-D


Looking forward to your photos.

Just curious as to when Ford will start the trickle of data release about the car. All this vagueness is driving me crazy. Maybe with the holidays coming they will "gift" us a few more specs of concrete data. It seems everyone is tight lipped about facts for now so hopefully the GOPRO scenarios will pay off. LOL. Put an IPhone on a collapsible antenna and stretch it out there ... someone's bound to make it happen. :coolman:

I personally can't wait for this car to get here. The Dealer already has my deposit and specs so as soon as the order banks open they can order me my car. It will be the first to arrive to that Dealer.

Coming from someone who has owned several 13 & 14 GT400's and a Boss 302 in every color plus all the Laguna Seca's, I am very happy. I prefer the Boss to the GT500 for the handling and driving enjoyment and this new car will be a much improved version of what I love so much.

I am selling my 15' M4 now so I can get rid of it while they are still easy to sell and before it goes down more in value and this will be my new DD, though I drive very little since I work from home.

This car is going to be incredible. The hardest thing for me is deciding on color. I want white with blue stripes but the silver in the video looks so good, almost like a mild chrome. It must be enhanced. If a glass roof is available I will be getting that and Nav, nothing more.

Add this car to my Boss, and I will have the two best Mustangs ever built, at lest IMO. I am very curious to see what they do with the GT500 but in the past I always felt it was way over powered for the handling, no matter what I did to make it handle better and always thought the Boss was a much better car for me.

Um, wow. I'm guessing first-year depreciation at buyer's remorse are phrases that you have heard a lot? :) But anyway, will be curious to here how it compares to the Boss/LS.

Buyers remorse isn't in my vocabulary. If I want to play, I have to pay. Cars are my addiction, so I never have remorse because I never keep them long. My current Boss will be part of the permanent collection and if I love the GT 350 it will be as well, but everything else is a 2-4 month car at most.
the form
As long as you buy them really right you don't take too much of a hit when you move them. When everyone was still paying sticker or above for their Boss i was paying Invoice. It is all in who you know. There are several members on this Forum that bought their Boss using y connection and got their cars for $100 over invoice when sticker or above was the norm.
I expect that I will be paying Invoice for my 350 when it arrives, or really close to it and if I don't love it and want to move it I will have several months while they are hot to sell it for at least what I paid if not a fair amount more.

I would love to know who your dealer is! Care to share?

Wow, I have to catch up here in Ford land, it's been a while. The GT350 may be the car to replace my 1LE one day. Here I thought I would keep my 1LE forever.

If the GT350 can meet the hype, kudos to Ford. But I will wait and see if GM can match. The 1LE cannot compete with the GT350 and the Z/28 is too track and not enough car.

How much do you want for the M4?

The silver car with black stripes in the very 1st video is pure CGI. Just rendered video.

LOL, I should have come prepared!

Here are the pics, I have a video of the female presenter talking about the car but she doesn't say anything that isn't known on this forum.

tangent or
I am real tempted to pick one of these up but with so many unknows price, weight, final engine numbers I might be jumping the gun on thinking about it. I have to say I really like the car though.
