That is what I was told.
When you say "attainable", are the 2016's going to be limited production as well?

Yeah,.....I think the car looks better with the stripes rather than the non striped car.

The 2016s' production will only be limited by the buyers.

They'll make as many as the dealers will order.

So if there are buyers for them, they'll make thousands

Awesome,...so it's not like an "allocation" deal then. Very cool. I'm going to assume they sell many of the GT350 and GT350 R cars. Great price for a great car.
Heck, the brakes alone on the GT350R are over 8K for both front and rear.

Which kinda makes you wonder how much cheaper Ford is actually getting them for.

$8k for brakes
$30k for 4 wheels
$2k for tires
----------------------
That's $40k PLUS the car itself, and that awesome 5.2L has to cost over $10k by itself ... especially being so limited production ...

For a car that costs $63k?

Yeah, Ford has a "bit" of mark-up in their parts, huh?

Definitely making money, no question about it.
I'm sure the Tremec 6 speed is a pricey piece bringing the price up as well as that killer suspension. I'm willing to bet that the suspension is probably one of the priciest parts on the car besides that great engine. (Gotta pay for all that R&D on the track too. lol) I think it was like 3 years of R&D for it be just right.
On the wheels, I heard that they are not as pricey as first claimed. I think they are a lot less than the 30k price they were originally rumored to be.
I gotta stop looking at this GT350R, I really like it. A LOT.

That transmission is supposedly a modified version of the trans used in the European-market Transit vans (the big vans, not the gay little Transit Connect things)

That Race Red is wicked. Looks killer with the black wheels and black accents. If I got the Race Red, I would go with the black roof as well to break it up a bit as you cannot get stripes on the Race Red car. I tried. lol

I am lucky enough to get one for the weekend and even in the rain I am having a blast with this thing. It is just an awesome car, I really haven't found anything I would want or need to mod on the car. Shifter feels great, normally that is the first thing to go in my cars. Exhaust sounds great in and out of the car, no need for an after market one.

Wife said I want one, when are we selling the 2 in the garage. When I mentioned the price she changed her mind. But even she was impressed with the ride and sound of it. When I closed the baffles, she said it was way to quiet.

Hope the rest of the weekend clears up, but if it doesn't I will still have fun driving it in the rain.
