Out of curiosity I checked Fullerton's website - they have a 2017 GT350 and GT350R in transit. List price of GT350 is only 5K over msrp. Wonder if they are sold?

I've been told when the vehicle goes into production, it automatically generates the listing for the selling dealer. But you never know until you call I suppose.

Flemington either took in on trade or grabbed at auction a GT350. It was in the lot two nights ago and now it's in their pre-owned showroom. White with blue stripes and a rear bumper cover that looks like dog poop. Such a shame.

Still deciding what to do. The 2018 is growing on me aesthetically, and the magneride and bump in HP is a big plus.

PS what's your review of the M2 so far? Never thought I'd buy a bimmer but who knows

@Carson , my buddy who could have got your gt350 personally escorted through the build process showed me a picture of a new GT (gt40) in his garage last week.

I've only got 1500 miles on it and most of that has been winter miles on colder tires. But...it's pretty awesome. It is just as quick and definitely handles better. It's more comfy inside as the seats are 14-way adjustable (I had cloth Recaros in the Mustang that were decent). The clutch and shifter are much lighter and I could easily DD the M2. I enjoy all the bells and whistles that I didn't seem to care about. I get more looks and thumbs-up with the M2, but overall it blends in to most of the population. I also like that the M2 needs nothing: the wheel gap is small, the wheels look great and the offset is right, and the brakes and suspension are fantastic.

I have a nice loop around Round Valley close to the house that I've hammered in the Mustang, Focus ST, a friend's C6, and now the M2. The M2 was VERY buttoned down at ludicrous speeds at 40-50 degrees out. No fanfare; no muscling the car. Just sticks and goes.

The Mustang was a great, cheap, fun car. The only thing I miss is the sound of the V8. The BMW is nice but it's no Coyote. I ordered a catted downpipe and will put that on next month sometime. I think that will help some.

Is the BMW worth nearly twice the price of the Mustang? I dunno. That depends on the person. I am sure if Ford could actually assemble a S550 Mustang correctly and I threw $5000 at the suspension, exhaust, and wheels and tires, I would have been very happy and saved some cash. So I'm not sure I'm a BMW fanboy quite yet, but I don't regret writing the larger car payment check each month.

Reading about the 2018 Dodge Demon. How freakin fast is this thing gonna be? Rumors of 900 hp, sub 10 sec 1/4 mile? Trans-brake just announced - might only come with auto

Ya not too many standard manuals that you would want to use on the street will handle that much power/torque/weight.... Transbrake will definitely mean automatic. Seems like they are building something like the cobra jet race car but with a vin and no cage.

When you know your car is always broken and prone to getting towed, you permanently install hooks so the tow truck driver knows where to pull.

Even the freaking 4 cylinder does 60 in under 5 seconds.
