[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15736161, member: 121775"] That applies directly to yourself, though. You [I]just[/I] bought your GT350 and instead of enjoying the car, you're asking/worrying about depreciation. Do you feel like you paid too much and won't get a return on it when you dump it in a few months for the next shiny new thing? It seems like you really do have buyers remorse. Look at it this way. There still aren't enough GT350s to meet demand. There are thousands upon thousands of people out there who want a taste of the Voodoo magic. The next GT500 is not going to use the Voodoo engine; probably not even a variant of it. So there will still be [I]plenty[/I] of people who still want a GT350 and [I]especially[/I] the GT350R. Consider this. The GT350 is about 1% of total Mustang production year over year. The GT350R is ~10% of GT350 production or [B]0.1[/B]% of total Mustang production year over year. Let that sink in for a second. Zero point one percent. Trust me. The R's value is not going to tank when the GT500 comes. The Laguna Seca was still demanding ADMs in spite of the '13 GT500. You might say, "But the LS was a track car and the GT500 was a straight line car!" Not so fast. Look at the track times for both cars. The GT500 was actually faster than the LS by a few tenths, depending on the track, but it didn't drive anywhere near as well as the LS. So that argument holds no water. The next GT500 will no doubt outperform the R on a track, but it won't have the same feeling. Like I keep saying, the GT500 will be to the R what the 911 Turbo S is to the GT3. Two different cars, and one doesn't affect the other's value or desirability. [/QUOTE]
