This is good news for me! I wanted all the track options and convenience at the same time. Glad I decided to wait.

Nickj,
Thanks for posting this update! Interesting all around. Regarding the coolers and tower to tower brace, it seems the GT350 with the tech package came with the engine cooler and tower to tower brace. Just this week I was asking my dealer if the diff and tranny coolers were going to be offered through Ford (this question was based on info in the 2016 Shelby Owners Manual Supplement that recommends adding them if using at track frequently). As of this week, he said there were no add on packages by Ford.
Thanks again for posting this!

I can see some buyers remorse for the guys that bought the '16..

Supposedly April 4th the regular Mustang order banks open up, I wonder if the GT350's will be ready to order as well. Anyone?

No buyers remorse here

Yes, love to know if 2017 GT350's will open up for ordering in April. Just emailed my dealer with this question, will keep you all posted.

Wow, I can't believe the specs are out for the 2017s already. Any guess on when production will begin?
