$47,870 MSRP wow.

$61,370 for the GT350R.

Unbelievable price for this monster.

[Vigilante375]

GT350R version starts at $61k. Now time to wait for all the BS dealers will add on "just because".

Indeed!!!

A forum member on mustang6g said he witnessed the FPC engine rev well over 10k RPM on a dyno. He was not able to see the final output rating but he said the power/torque curves were very smooth. Can't wait to get mine!

[The Automotive Enthusiast]

Going to talk to a dealer and see what I can do to get one. Stronbark, how much over MSRP were you able to get it for?

[BrokenVert]

I need new pants

[Vigilante375]

Buying anything over MSRP is dumb. I don't care if its limited edition or whatever, anything over MSRP goes straight to the dealers pocket.

[Sered]

Just get a 2016, the order banks for those will open pretty soon anyway.

Here, because it's the general automotive sub-forum. Why, because a domestic car maker such as Ford, for all intents and purposes, just produced a driver's car that trumps anything BMW currently offers regarding soul stirring fun and all out performance....All at a price costing thousands less than a moderately equipped 3/4 series, let alone M3/4.

[TunedM2C]

^ Exactly. I'm a BMW M fanboy with a long ownership history of M cars but when another manufacturer comes out with something better than a M for around the same price I take notice. The GT350R will more than likely outperform the M4 GTS in everyway for $65k while the GTS will surely be north of $100k.

There's only a limited run of 2015's that will be coming out this fall so I'm going to be patient and wait for MY2016. I'll never pay ADM.

[Vigilante375]

Thats the thing with people I just dont understand. They have the "got to have now" on their minds and will pay over MSRP. But they could do a little research, since the internet has forums with dealers on them or people that know what dealers are offering, and see that the next State over they could get the same vehicle for or under MSRP with no hassles.

But hey, you got a money to burn....then whatever.

And yes, this "Mustang" will outperform anything that BMW offers without even breaking a sweat.

that should be an interesting mash up. i would bet that the gts will be faster based on what we've learned so far, BUT i'm not sure the price difference will be justifiable.

Ok, 99% of what BMW puts out. Still a awesome bike but I went with a '11 ZX-10r (got a smoking deal on a brand new one) instead of the S1000rr.

[NickyC]

Amazing, a new car actually comes out which I think is worth the price. I'd take this anyday over a new ///M.

Road & Track article on the GT350R carbon fiber wheels.

Interesting article but why don't they say what the wheels actually weigh?

How much does 15 pounds matter? A lot when it comes to wheels. Each of the GT350R's 19-inch carbon-fiber wheels are 15 pounds lighter than an equivalent aluminum wheel.

Just seems like a strange way of talking about something and I can't tell if it is good or great. Kind of like - "My current girlfriend weighs 30 lbs. less than my previous girlfriend".
