After thinking about it all day today at work, (literally all day today), I'm gonna pass on the GT350R. It's going to be a great car and all, but I'd have to replace those tires when I trade the car in or sell it. Doesn't make economic sense to do this. Buy the car, sell the original tires, buy new tires, replace the original tires when selling or trading in.
I'm glad I found out about the tires on the other forum, now rather than later. That's why it's good to do research before buying.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that to pass on a car because of the tires it comes with is kinda foolish.
But, a GT350 will be just as much fun for what you're gonna do with it ("took the beast out for a cruise, here's a couple of pics") ... lol ...

Could always take those carbon fiber wheels with those tires off the car, store them in the garage/basement/whatever until you sell the car, and use a different set of rims meanwhile.

As I stated before, I don't have any room in the basement to store them. I only have one room and that's the room I workout in. "The dungeon". (I pick things up, I put them down.
) Can't keep them in the garage,.....it gets too cold. I don't have heat in the garage, unfortunately. The tires must be stored in a room that stays 32 degrees or higher.I'm going to take a pass on it. Still a killer looking and sounding car.

The Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. (The same tires on the Z06 w/Z07 package. Top dog package.)
The GT350 has different tires, so if you're interested in that car, no worries there. Just the GT350R has the Sport Cup 2's. That is why Ford is not shipping out GT350R cars during the months of November through February.

Boy they need to back off those stands. I would be afraid someone would trip... Give the car a little room. No dents please.
Very nice Tony thanks for sharing!

Do you know where that was taken?
I think I saw the Red w/White in front and the Red w/Black in the back when I was in Monterey in August. Or at least two decked out like those. Including grill snake fangs, and front wheel vents.
Could not believe my eyes.

First off, I wouldn't want it on the showroom floor. AT ALL.It was written that the car is sold to the general manager of the dealership. Maybe to lure in more customers or sell the car to the highest bidder? LOL
