I don't think that would help. Not crazy about the color or that rear wing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the colour does suck and so does the wing but we'd get an idea how much it would change that gaping grill look....this is a track pac car there will be a version with the smaller spoiler on the back and no CF wheels.

David Hawkins Posted January 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2019 Does any one know when the Ordering Banks open for the GT 500? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 It has been reported in the media that the release date is not until November. Not sure of the accuracy, but based on the allocation process, you might want to work now with a dealer that would be on the list for have sold lots of Ford Shelby GT350 models. With lots of allocations, the dealer might not have a crazy ADM. Or you could just be patient until the-gotta-have-it-now-now matter-how-much-the dealers-charges buyers are done and the next issues sit around long enough for dealers to sell the new GT500 at MSRP or less. There are a lot of past examples of this happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve From day 1 til day last (which hasn't happened yet). You still can't get a GT350R for MSRP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Johnston Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 A lot will also depend on the quantity of production as well. Once there are thousands produced like the 2007-14 GT500 series, the ADM seems to drop in many markets. True the GT350R limited edition has stayed with a high ADM, but not the non-R GT350.

QSS Exactly the point I was making. By waiting until the fourth year of GT350 production you were offered prices that got you thinking maybe now is the time. Unless a close relative owns a dealership, and that close relative likes you more than profit, you are not getting a 2020 GT500 at invoice or $13k under MSRP. Patience is the key.

You do know that Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche, BMW all sell more auto trans cars compared to manual trans? You do know that GM sells more automatic Corvettes compared to m/t Corvettes? You do know that Ford sells more automatic transmission Mustang's compared to m/t Mustangs? While it would be nice to have both trans available but if Ford needed to pick one over the other its the buyers who choose automatics. Ford is just giving buyers what they want. Steven PS- I agree on the painted bumper and I suspect Ford has heard plenty about this so lets see if they respond by applying some extra paint.

SoCalSGT Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Steven, Personally, I prefer the new automatics over the manuals. And with the paddle shifters one gets the best of both worlds. But, they really need to rethink that silly transmission knob instead of a gear shift...just sayin'.................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperNC Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 Everything is headed that direction because the technology allows the cars to accelerate faster than a manual shift. Ford should still give the buyer the option and make it a custom order process for a manual shift car. JMO.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secondo Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I like the black grille. It looks great. Imo a good decision by Ford to update the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
