We have seriously digressed.
Starting to see ADM's dropping. Is this the time to buy or should I wait? Trying to wait for a good deal on a 350R but, the kid in me wants to pounce. I'm assuming when the GT500 comes out prices will spike down even more?
Thoughts?
Very nice!
I wanted to order my '14 as blue stripes over black but wasn't an option.
Seems to be very rare and I've never seen an R in that combo.
More pics in the sun please.
Congrats.

Thanks. I'm sure they are out there but, Ive only seen one other on Youtube. I wasn't sure driving up to see it how I would like it...when I saw the combo in person I loved it! Im not a very good photographer....pictures don't do the combo justice.That looks REALLY good man!
I'll assume there's a really low production number with the blue over black.

Ford says the GT350R's front brake rotors can reach temperatures over 1652 degrees F (900 C), presenting a thermal challenge to the integrity of the wheels. The solution? An aerospace-derived ceramic spray coating that's nearly as hard as diamond and was first developed for engine turbine blades for the original Space Shuttle. Applied to the inside of the front wheel barrels and the backs of the spokes, the coating, which is also used in open-wheel racing, reduces maximum wheel temperatures to prolong service life in the crucible of the racetrack.
I'd probably paint it blackThe ceramic coating is prone to chipping from pebbles getting stuck between the caliper and wheel. I took my fronts off to clean them and noticed the ceramic is chipped in one spot. And speaking of cleaning, it's a real pain in the butt trying to keep that ceramic pristine white. If I didn't have a pressure washer, I wouldn't even bother. I don't trust harsh chemical on the wheel finish.
