have a nice life bro. That hate is gonna get you far. I'm leaving this site. Don't stick around sites that allow members to make physical threats towards other people. Not cool. I don't even know you. Good bye SVT Forum.
I think the issue is this...you can't even come close to getting an "R" at MSRP. The 500 will make getting an R at MSRP MUCH MUCH easier. No way people will pay a premium for an R with the 500 giving you the actual value at the inflated R premiums.
Same car, 200+ more power, better tranny, better breaks...it's like GT350 on steroids! Why would anyone want a 350 now? Other than price. I always shook my head at guys paying over MSRP for the GT350R's...well with the GT500 coming, now the damn R's will come back down to earth. The Hellcat owners all feel butt hurt by the Demon, but at least they can sleep at night knowing the Demon is just a single purpose drag car...not as good all around driver as the Hellcat. But Ford basically made a much better track weapon with the GT500. Has to hurt. Doesn't it?
...
Buy a car you like for a price you think is worth it and stop worrying about it. Christ, half the discussion on this board is debates about what the value of the 350 is, what it will be, how people can get MSRP or what amount above. Just buy the flippin car that you think fits your budget and your needs and stop obsessing about it. ...
Having said all that, I think Ford is in a bit of a jam here. They can't sell the 500 for at or less than the R (certainly not the 350 base) and if they run into 6 figures, they're probably not going to sell very many.
They can price it around where the R is, and frankly I think it would destroy the value of the R's, in a big way. It doesn't lend confidence that there's rumors they may discontinue the 350. Ford may just be deciding to send condolence letters to everyone who bought an R at $XXX above MSRP.
...
A bunch of people will be ass hurt by having to admit to themselves that they bought too early in the 350 and so there'll be all the typical rationalizations...the 350 is more balanced, the 350 is more pure, blah blah blah. With what I've seen, it appears the 500 is going to go around the track faster. That remains to be seen. But if that's the case, the pricing point will definitely endanger the value of the Rs.
I think the base model 350's are relatively safe because the pricing is already depressed. People that could have dumped their 350 in favor of an R upgrade have pretty much already done so. Granted, the 500 will be a bigger step up in performance, but I don't see the base 350 pricing taking it on the chin as much as the R models.
...
I couldn't disagree more. The reason the 500 is more of a threat to the R's is price point. If someone could afford the R, most likely they'd already be driving one. Very few people skipped out on it just because they didn't see the additional value (I'm one of the few). I can afford an R, I just didn't see a commensurate upgrade in performance for $30k more. I bought my 350 track pack slightly used (7k miles) for $52k. I couldn't find a used R for anywhere NEAR that.
...
I can see prices going down on both the 350 & 350R as the GT500 is released as its already been happening. If you look hard enough you can find an R for MSRP, or slightly over, which was impossible just a few months ago. Same thing happens to most models when the latest and greatest comes out. Time will tell.
Those saying the R's and 350s won't get hurt hard, answer me this...
What about the 350 will be superior to the 500?
These aren't apples to oranges cars. The 500 is the SAME car as the 350, with more power, better brakes, better tranny AND 2 more years of Ford engineers tuning / dialing the car in. Yeah, it won't hurt the 350 values at all...PAH-LEASE.
Guys that thing the 350R is gonna be some long term collectible remind me of the dudes that were paying 20K over for the Boss 302 Laguna Seca edition. Constantly justifying how it was the best handling mustang ever, etc. Sure for it's time. Now it's a joke considering what's available. Same way the 305R will be "yeah, cool...but the new..." in just a year or two.
I know it sucks to buy a car for 70-90K hoping it will hold it's value for a long time. It's gonna plummet. Here's why...
The 2019 GT500 will most likely be $75-80K. Expect it to be priced just Below Demon and just above ZL1 1LE. Now who in their right mind would pay anywhere near 75K for a 350R with the GT500 coming in at the same? Nah, keep that extra 200 horsepower and better everything...I'll stick with the R. Not. Happening.
... I'm in my apartment, with Demon keys. ...
You referenced one of the worst acted and worst accent by any character in any movie.....ever
Priorities are all in order, I see.

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.
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? View attachment 1458983
Ask me anywhere to hold my Demon keys in my apartment right now. Fool. I just said I'm not sharing photos of car until it's done. God, the hate runs through you bro. Why so angry. You think I am lying?
I got it, he has one.See my PM to you. Me, my pops and my Demon. Cause I just have Demon keys lying around the place...Jeez. Really?
I saw that, I guess I need to go through some history on here when I get time.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 don't know why anyone would want this new GT500.
It’s not a GT350 motor.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.
