Should I buy a GT350?

I bought the car! In the end they gave me what I wanted and I walked out the door with a brand new (only 5 miles) 2017 GT350. I got it for MSRP and the dealer told me they only made $600 on the car. He actually showed me the paperwork and it was just under $600. Is that possible? How can they make so little on these cars selling them at MSRP? He basically said on the specialty cars like the Shelby they get no rebates or incentives from ford.

I have a bunch of parts now that I will be listing for sale from the Boss. I wanted to take the MGW shifter off but couldn't find all the parts to the stock one :(
Welcome to the club and it's guys like you why we change the forum name to TMO so you aren't left out. Have fun with your GT350.

Good move!

I would expect that once you have experienced a GT350 test drive, it would be tough to get that out of your head.

All the best to you and the new 2017 Shelby.

As you all know I bought the car. Here's a short video we put together and a quick video of the car on track at NCM.
