it's going to be a 5 year production run, just wait until the 2nd year and I don't doubt at all they will be selling at MSRP or below

look at what happened to the Z/28 towards the end of that run...

I have two on order. Both for me, at MSRP. But have been thinking of offloading it
If you're serious, pm me. Is it an allocation? Could he order it with his options/color?

Actually from the get go the Z28s were being discounted. You won't see those kind of discounts with the GT350. Ford is only building 5,000 non Rs a year. I do think you will get MSRP or a tad lower in a year or so but not the kind of heavy discounts you see with the Z28s.

To me its lower and wider stance is more prominent than the 6.5" longer length when parked next to my E90 M3.

True Billy, but when driving it feels like a big car. The hood looks like it goes on forever. The E92 feels like a much more svelte car, and it is even in the weight department. Don't get me wrong..I love the GT350. Just wish they weren't so damm big and heavy. Now my experience is not driving a GT350 but spending a good hour in a GT PP with a manual tranny.

is the 5 year production run confirmed? I am looking into a GT350 but not quite ready to give up my e92 yet. Still in the free maintenance period.

I don't really like the 'flatness' of the regular GT/EB's hood either, but the GT350's hood is lower, 'tighter', and MUCH better looking without the feel that you're talking about. Go drive one!

Agreed 150%, I love the "tighter" look of the front. I would love to have a dealer in the LA area that would let you drive one..just won't happen. Like I said, my main issue with the car is the size. I thought the E92 was becoming a large car, but the Mustang S550 just makes the E92 look like a skinny fashion model.

Don't get me wrong bro, I do want one. We just have to see what the market does. Give it another year...
