VonGreenland Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 As much as I absolutely adore these new GT350's... I just can't get over the price tag on them.... Don't get me wrong, all the power to those of you who can afford to spend close to 100 grand on these beautiful pieces of ass kicking art. I just wish they were priced more reasonably... in my opinion, 75 grand seems like more of a fair amount for one of these cars. Who knows... maybe I'm just jealous of all of you who can afford these amazing GT350's. 100 grand seems a little outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy in Colorado is trying to get someone to pay, he wanted $200,000 when he 1st posted it a few months ago, then went down to $150,000. now its $100,000 In a year or two, they will have reasonable prices on ebay, especially if they are dealers trying to get rid of them. I remember a GT500KR at a dealer near me wanted $90,000 for it, and it sat for almost a year, i think they sold it for $55,000/60,000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new BOSS 302 will at "least" keep up with that car if not beat it and you can get one for $45K plain or ++ for a LS Model. After they settle down a bit there will be no ADM's either, I mean they had ADM's on Maza Miats when they came out and GT500's looky now!!!

Only 170 or so made in 2011 and looks like that or less in 2012. 4000 Boss 302's made each year, right? I also think the Boss looks too much like any regular 5.0 Mustang, but who really cares about my opinion? You can add the Super Snake to the list of cars that I really don't like the looks of.

I know it is a comparison for pricing or value but the two are not even close. The Boss is a nice car I would love to own one someday, but when I was at a recent show and parked next to a new Boss the crowd of people gravitated to the GT350. I agree asking $100k is a little bit absurd although with the limited production of the 45th anniversary GT 350 it could hold a higher resale value down the road. I did not buy my GT 350 for resale; I purchased it for the ride, feel and look. I will let my son down the road worry about its resale value. Right now I'm just having a blast with this car.

Where did you take that picture? Looks like sidewalk in Ft. Laud. between the parking lot and sidewalk... car looks good but I passed as the price didn't make any sense and I get all the fun I need from my 2008 Shelby GT/SC so I didn't see any reason to have both. Now I am considering the 2012 Mercedes CLS AMG instead but who knows I'll probably go and get another vintage Mustang as looking for a 69 big block Mach 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, Ive driven both, and although I do plan to add a 2013 BOSS to my garage to take the majority of track abuse, it doesnt even come close to the GT350 on a drag strip or a road course stock. You cant compare apples to oranges though. The GT350 has a ton of aftermarket modding by the time you get it from Shelby. That said, with the 5.0 in the BOSS, and what Kenne Bell is about to unleash on the world for the BOSS cars, your statement isnt too far from the truth for value.

You really have to consider what is left untouched on the 350 to understand the price...what off a base GT 5.0 is still there unaltered? The front fenders are pretty much it. Front fascia, roof painted, hood, trunk, rear fascia, wheels and tires, brakes, suspension, supercharger....and then you drive it....amazing....

You are forgetting one major factor on the GT350 as when FORD ruined the front-end and rear taillight panel with the 2010 model those two things are still butt ugly no matter what body kit you throw at it. Yea, wish I had the 5.0 in mine but wouldn't exchange it for the GT350 and didn't see a reason to own both Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yup, if you dont like it, you shouldnt buy it. Although, just to be fair, nothing was really done to the front or rear except putting a different body kit on the existing S197 platform. So, technically, if you like a 2008, you cant say Ford went in and screwed it up beyond repair, because changing the front and rear fascia is all they did to begin with. But I have seen a LOT of negativity thrown in the direction of the GT350 by owners of other builds, well, one in specific, that seem to have some serious sour grapes over it. Im not picking a fight either, just pointing out that if the build is REALLY that much of a waste of money, why dont I read the same things on a Supersnake build? SS costs more, and in the case of a vert, less HP to boot. For 1k more, I have already brought my build up to SS numbers, so still less money than a SS. I like the SGT's (I see you have one), but what if I didnt, and came to the SGT section and started complaining about them? Just doesnt make sense to me... And YET I REALLY like the supersnakes still and dont go into their section and talk about buying a Honda Odyssey instead. Maybe Im just overly sensitive, but I get a little worn out reading guys coming on here and complaining about the GT350. There, said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather buy 5 new VW Rabbits"Fear the Bunny" and tune them,add an attractive wing on it and throw in some NOS. Then I will bring it them to the 12 Shelby bash and smoke all of you 350 owners. Hey,I saw what a Rabbit can do.I saw the Fast and the Furious. Ha Ha,just kidding DubbsFaris,just wanted you to get a little more sensitive! In all honesty,only two cars would go in my dream garage if money was not an issue,the 65' and the 11' 350. I think people need to stop crying about the price.Pay it or move on and don't say a word.I do love the way Shelby redesigned the rear of the car.To bad Ford does not listen to what the public says,but you can see that Shelby listenes to what people want.With all the different Shelby pakages offered,theirs something for everone.Oh,by the way,in case you cannot tell, I love your car. So if you ever decide to just give it away to a hard working blue collar man with a family who will never own one because a lack of funds, my number is 1(562)555-4555 Thought I would throw some CA Hollywood movie humor in there!

DubbsFaris Posted August 8, 2011 Report Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thanks! I laughed my bottom off to that comment. I mean, if we are talking economical here, why bother with anything more than a gutted '93 notch with a new 5.0 aluminator? Nothing would touch a build like that, and you could do a whole new drivetrain and engine and the whole car would be south of 20k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
