They are great cars aren't they? We haven't seen a good production muscle car battle like among the top 3 like this in nearly 50 years. It's a win-win for all crowds.

The Chevy dealers that attempted to assign a market value adjustment to the Z/28 got roasted. While I am sure there are a handful that paid an MVA to obtain their Z, the percentage is no where near Ford's 100%. This is a great thing for the individual Ford franchises and arguably to the collectors.

Even production numbers are estimated at 4-5K per model year (give or take a few hundred I presume) with approx 500 R's yearly. In anycase, we'll see sooner or later...

2007 - 2695
2008 - 2070
2009 - 555
2010 - 4458
2011 - 5100
2012 - 4834
2013 - 4885
2014 - 5730
The "R" would most likely be the truly limited car. Ford probably won't build more than 500 of them a model year.

Mustang6 claimed Ford is planning 5,000 GT350 and 500 GT350R annually and should not have any problems selling at these volumes, based on recent market history.
