treynor Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Ordered in May; built in August; arrived Saturday 11/28, a day after the (super-fun) Shelby Club Turkey Blast at Laguna Seca. Pickup is Monday (service was closed when she arrived) but the dealer sent some pics to keep me drooling until tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake Handler Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 My car has the tech package. Makes the drive to/from the track a lot more comfortable I drove a preproduction "R" model at Road America with the tech package and that is one sweet ride.

William Rodgers Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Congrats!!!! I am seriously considering one, the only issue is my twins really like to drive with me every so often and there is no back seat. Maybe the regular GT-350 will do, but I really like the R version. Did you get it for MSRP??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you get it for MSRP??? Yes, MSRP for both. And fear not, Ford now offers a rear seat for the "R" so you can have your cake and eat it too I'll let y'all know as soon as I drive them how the two variants compare.

treynor Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Pretty amazing you got a 2015 R at MSRP and no ADMs. It's a 2016 R, to be fair. And yes, I'm incredibly fortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Froelich Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Very nice. Closest I will get to an "R" is someone posting a picture on a forum that I am a member of. Thank you nonetheless and once again very awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that makes more sense, and it also shows where the market is moving for 2016s compared to 2015s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please share when they are broken in, I am very interested in your thoughts. I was not aware you could get the back seat, that is good to know, thank you for sharing!!

QuickSilverShelby Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) can't wait to beat the new ones on the track with my 2011 GT350 I'm wondering why you're so confident of such a claim. I'm not trying to call you out or talk down to you. I'm really interested in why you are so confident?

I'm really interested in why you are so confident? QSS I suspect by "track" he meant "dragstrip" not "roadcourse". Some people think of a straight line as a "track". If that turns out to be the case, I might be willing to run my stock '14 5L against his car :-D Edited November 30, 2015 by treynor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treynor Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Stopped by the dealer today and got a few more pics to tide me over until delivery tomorrow. Also, got to fire up the "R". Holy moly - I'm surprised that exhaust is legal. ​ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1 Alibi 2 Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) Congrats on the new ride. Couldn't help but notice that it was parked outside with the other inventory ? .......Dealership doesn't think it's anything special ! When my 14 was delivered, it went from the truck to a garage behind the showroom. Edited November 30, 2015 by 1 Alibi 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubbsFaris Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 (edited) It showed up on a Sunday, so it probably just got moved out of the way, or do dealers stay open on Sunday's there? They aren't allowed to in TX. (A few do from time to time). Can you believe we still have blue laws at this day and age?

treynor Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 We brought it outside for pictures; the car was sitting in the service bay after being unloaded, and it went back there after the pictures were done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
