Another reason I prefer the Z. GM warranties it on track as well.

As for the insane dealer markups, why not just order a car and wait a few months. You get what you want at a lower price. I bet if you found the right dealer you could get one for $100 over invoice just so the dealer could get the allocation of one.

I think you are underestimating the dealer greed mentality. They don't care about allocations...... only how much money they can get.

I believe all GT350 now come standard with all the coolers from the track pack - it was just one model year of the GT350 that didn't.

'17 is the first year track pack is standard - I was shopping for a 350 before the Z/28 but pricers just were looney toons. Also seems like it's common for them to drop an oil cooler line.

Exactly!

I have yet to see one priced less than $10,000 over MSRP.

Not ONE.

I feel that Ford should have made the guys right who's cars are going into limp mode on the street with spirited driving. A performance model (every GT350) should not be doing this on the street especially if your regular GT doesn't have this problem. GT350 Track Pack and R models are track performance models.

I've had 2 GT350's a 2016 and a 2017. I like to track them and can say they have never gone into limp mode for me. The 2016 did not have the Track pack.

They are great cars with great sound, mag ride and comfortable. I prefer the Z for the low end torque but would choose the 350 for daily driving if I had to.
