cobra567 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 South Bay Ford in Torrance CA has 2 350's and 1 350R on their website at MSRP. I traded emails and they want $15k Admin on the 350's and I did not bother to ask about the R. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twobjshelbys Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 There is a map of dealers on one of the GT350 forums. I thought I posted it here but can't find it. I'll look later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GT500-07 Posted November 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Two Rivers Ford, Mount Juilet, TN 2016 GT350, white with blue stripes on the showroom floor $5K ADM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mach 1 1970 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Knowing how many allocation is a start but understanding how they are used is more important. They are spread out over the quarters. Must dealers currently have had only one or two allocations pulled for orders. A dealer with 4 allocations might not be able to use the last two allocations until April . Some dealers with one haven't been able to use it yet. Dealers are rewarded and get first choice over other dealers it all depends on the rep for that area and past mustang sales. Some buyers have placed orders back in June and still don't have their car yet. When an allocation is able to be pulled for an order is the most important information a buyer needs to know.

DubbsFaris Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Hey, any information is good information, and every lead may save one of us 5-10k. You guys keep up the good work. The fear is that this will be a 2 year run like the Boss, but for some reason, finding a Boss was much easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted November 14, 2015 Report Share Posted November 14, 2015 Change of heart ? No, not at this point, get back to me if they change the engine performance. Unlike some, I like the way it looks, just doesn't have the straight line acceleration I prefer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I'm sure there will be superchargers available for it real soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeljgt500kr Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 I will find that interesting, but what about all the people who praise and love the new GT350 because it is "naturally aspired" and therefore has more character or importance or whatever that is supposed to make it special…….

Actually I will be watching to see what SAI does with this car, hopefully that is not far off either. Whatever it is it has to be superior to some aftermarket Joe and Don's Speed Shop stuff from their garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Rodgers Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't think there is a chance this will be a 2 year run, they will make as many as they can sell. The Boss didn't sell well, that was an easy decision. Odd because I would think the buying audience of the Boss and GT-350 would be the same. Who knows, look at the Z-06, hundreds of them on dealer lots now and last year you couldn't find one, the same could happen here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understood but if it sold like the GT-500 in 2007, which was supposed to be a limited run as well, do you think they would have stopped producing it? I think they would have kept going just like they did with the GT-500, but we will never know because it didn't sell well. Just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they would have kept going just like they did with the GT-500, but we will never know because it didn't sell well. Just my opinion I don't know about that. The voodoo and the 350 were being developed in 2011. I think the reason the BOSS didn't sell particularly well was because it just didn't have much separating it from the pack. It was merely a track tuned GT with forged internals. It was the best statistically for the track in 12-13, but Ford knew the 2015 GT was going to outdo the Boss without any special changes. The GT500 and the GT350 sell great because they are not anything like the GT. The 2012 Boss sold quite well, but once the 2013 500 hit the market, it was doomed. I don't disagree that Ford may decide to extend the 350 because it's just that good a seller. I am just wondering out loud here and haven't heard anything to make me think a 2 year run, and after the backlash from the "limited" run suggestions of the GT500 initially, I wouldn't think they would repeat that again. It makes no sense to make a statement either way. Edited November 16, 2015 by DubbsFaris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm on the fence on buying a GT-350, I am leaning towards a Convertible for my next toy, maybe they will add that at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
