Default Mustang GT350....anyone know more about it?

Are they in production? Price is nice...I could swap my Z51 and pocket some thousands, and gain 2 model years as well. But, where are these cars? I want to hear that exhaust...

I think they are half a second behind the Camaro in the quarter mile Road & Track

If you're talking about trading your Z51, I don't think there is much chance of trading one on a new GT350 at this point and coming out with "some thousands". Demand is very, very high and discounts aren't there yet. Ford is pretty good and capping production on their SVT offerings, so don't (ever) expect any big discounts off of MSRP for these cars.

True for the general public...I am a Ford retiree with connections to the Flat Rock plant among other insiders. List price is $49900...current offer on the Vette is near $54k. http://bossmustangsonline.com/index.php?board=19.0 is the place to go for all the best info.

You're an insider and you're asking us where the cars are?...........

Yep, I got a kick out of that. I'm sure he will be posting pictures of his new GT350 tomorrow since they are already at the dealerships.

Still, you're not buying the car from Flat Rock. And dealers are simply not discounting the cars. Allocations are all spoken for, and right now the best chance would be to find an in-stock unit. Those will have been ordered by dealers with the exact intent of charging ADM. Also, recent production breakdowns are showing that less than 3% of cars are base cars ($51,200 with the $1300 GG tax). A base car will be hard to find, with the vast majority being at least Track Pack cars ($57,700).

Very likely, in the next 6-9 months demand will flatten and cars should be available for MSRP.

$54k is really good money on a '14 Z51 if it is trade with an as-yet un-negotiated deal.

Was interested for a few weeks, lurked the Mustang forums and pretty
well a adm of at least $2-3K, and more likely $5K is the going rate.
So round $60K with a track pack or tech, taxes, license, etc.

Nice car, great motor and brakes, but in the end still 3800# and
only a few notches faster than a GT PP, while costing $25K
more....while the interior is better, still rental car bits and pieces...

That motor and brakes would be killer in a stripped down C7
track car, wishfully thinking.

I still like the car but not pursuing a purchase at this time.

If you can find one for that price, it may be worth buying and even paying the new price.
