Oh man, a GT350R for only $5k over sticker.......you could buy it off of him and sell it and make a huge profit on it. However, if it was me, I'd buy it and drive the crap out of it. Don't hesitate......take him up on it!

Assuming you can fit the bill at $5k over sticker for it, I say counter offer him at sticker price, if he goes for it sweet you saved 5 grand! if not just buy it for the $5k over. And then I'm coming up there to see your garage haha

Also did you take your GT3 to Absolute Perfection for some work? they have pictures of one that looks just like yours on their FB page.

On a side note, we did a few short (10-70 mph or so) pulls, I put 1-2 cars on him each time...
bahahaha 1LE wipes the floor with 350... with a cam swap, lighter weight wheels and head work and full exhaust after warranty, I would put my money on the 1LE still...

remember, the R comes with Michellin Pilot Sport Cup 2's... I would bet they generate the same lateral G with same tires....

He was able to buy the car at sticker through his connections at Ford. Selling it tor 5k over covers his taxes and the full 3m clear wrap that he had installed.
I have not had my GT3 to absolute perfection. Is that the guy in fallston ?

I agree. The 1le may be equally as fast with a set of R compound tires. Im looking forward to finding out

They are up in Sykesville, they do wraps, tint and PPF, they do really good work. And considering he had full Xpel put on that car $5k over isn't bad.

I will be interesting to see how if perfoms next to the 1LE.
I understand .. there's a gentleman I met at Laguna who was tracking his GT350R... he also has several Ferrari race cars (GT3 builds, FXXK, LaFerrari etc, etc)... for the GT350R to even get the attention of these guys is impressive. Even if the 1LE beats the 350R around the track, the blue oval still does have a certain exotic feel to it. $5k over sticker with full clear bra... done deal for sure! I'll be watching for your impressions!

If you get second thoughts, I'll give you another 2k over what you paid.
