Does anyone know where the 37 2015 GT350Rs went since I am assuming us common folk won't see any of them? And does anyone know when the 2016s will start being delivered? I've heard as early as the end of October and as late as early next year.

Thanks!

I'm almost 100% certain that the R cars and possibly the non R cars will not be built/shipped during the winter months due to the compound of the tires. They are not to be used in under 40 degree temperatures due to cracking and splitting.
I think Ford is doing this as a "safety net" for themselves.

I am not sure... but I know I saw two of the non R's cruising Monterrey CA a couple of weeks ago. I was surprised to see them. Did not get a good look, but they did have the Cobra fangs, non R spoilers, and the vent behind the front wheels. Had to be GT350. They were within a few blocks of each other. One was race red with white, the other race red with black. Second appeared to have the track pack with the larger rear spoiler, but not the R raised tail. Just passed me while driving through town. Had to take a double take to see ID markings.

Surprised me since I did not think they were even available yet.

Steve, they may have been manufacturer's cars or what not. I do believe that no customers have their cars yet. I may be wrong, but I don't think they do. That would be killer if they were customer cars though. I can't wait to see one in person, hopefully a R car.

Plenty of Ford vehicles have been built and shipped with summer only tires during the winter.

I took delivery of my summer tire equipped Mustang on a very cold day in March.

Same here. My car got home delivered in March.
I think it's different for the GT350 cars. I'll try a find a link.
