I think comparing a Z28 and a ZL1 is a bad comparison. ZL1 is a much better all around vehicle. Z28 is much to track oriented to be daily driven.
Gt350 Looks questionable in the hp department or am I off?

I would love to know who and how. The only way this seems possible is if your brother owns the dealership.
Like the R without electronics. Same basic thing.
I am one of them. I found a car in the midwest from a smaller dealership and will have the car shipped, although a few local dealerships (CA) said they sold their cars at sticker. They were basically sold long ago however.
Dude I've had enough man. That's cool that your car makes 680whp. That's cool that you don't understand the gt350 is a successor to the boss. That's cool that you don't realize ford has a gt500 successor in the works.
News flash. You are coming across like a spazzing oaf. Congrats on your car man. Mine's quite a bit faster than yours and guess what, the gt350 is by no means a lesser car. My car makes about twice as much power as yours, seriously man, 680whp isn't bragging news nowadays. Have some class. If you don't get what the gt350 is then wait for a gt500 successor.
And to toot my and many horns, there's probably 1000+ members on this site with 680whp let alone at least 250 with 1,000+.

How did a "smaller dealership" even get allocation for an "R"??
Because it did. Over ordered 2015's will likely flow into 2016's ordering bank and get delivered next summer/fall.
The best I've been able to do is to be #8 on a waiting list for future allocation - so I have no idea what you guys are talking about with "just ordering" an "R".....
I dont think there are any "over ordered" 2015s, those 37 Rs im sure are all spoken for, and im guessing most did not go to retail, and if they did, im sure some folks paid $$$ in mark up.
I would say most of the 350Rs for 2016 will also be sold over sticker, but that is not to say some folks will get them at MSRP.
The real question is, why get a 350R when you can easily get a ROUSH RS3? Walk in and drop your 21k on the table and walk out with a Z28 killer.

I got mine for MSRP.
$70k? Where are you getting that.$50k for a base $63k for an R. And since your best buddy is a dealer. It's $47k or $60k for you (even Better!)
Let's use your math.
Invoice pricing
13Boss 302- $44k. GT350 $47k for both base cars
440hp stick axle vs 526hp and IRS. PLUS way better power band "usable power)
Here is what you get.
86hp and an IRS for $3k. You can't add 86hp to a boss for less than that, never mind add an IRS.
That's real math. And that's factual. It's $3k more.
Not $70k.
As someone who has owned 3 GT500s (08, 13,13) this car isn't the replacement for that car. I'm well aware of that. It's a high revving track toy. Totally different.
Keep you current car. This wasn't isn't for you, as
You don't get it's purpose. Nothing wrong with that. But your arguments are a little odd, so I think dropping it is a good idea

In a straight line sure, but it's not a going to keep up on a twisty track with a z28 or gt350(r) imo
honestly there was on on here last week for MSRP to the first person no special anything. there will be plenty others. I might have to wait for number 2 allocation to get MSRP at my local dealer but I am fine with that. what I really want is there third allocation for xplan but I am nervous they may not get a third.
Not for an "R". I've got a dealer ready to sell me a GT350 at MSRP.
I really do like the fact that so many guys pre ordered at MSRP. It gives hope the rest of us hope. I would like to know if anyone has walked in and bought the car at msrp . Is it realistic?
To the guys turning this into some straight line peak hp/ gt500 debate kindly troll it up somewhere else please.

Oh and Chris I hear you about this being a track burner, but If the magnetic suspension is comfortable why not use it on the street. look at vmp, their boss track car made more power than the gt500 could on pump. A high compression engine that holds boost and is comfortable has many uses to me. This is off topic and speculation I know, and the fact that I have already added boost to the conversation just proves that it's not enough engine for me as it sits.
