This is good news for me! I wanted all the track options and convenience at the same time. Glad I decided to wait.
No buyers remorse hereI 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?
Nothing yet. We have our eyes peeled though.Anything on pricing?
Say it ain't so accelerator....Spoke to Ford Performance today. General Mustang production is to start in April 2016. Shelby production could/should start shortly thereafter with expected deliveries starting in June /July....or so I was told.
Retro fitting coolers to 2016 non R and non Track pkg cars will be expensive and for most prohibitive. The Track ready tranny cooler comes complete from the factory with an internal pump...yes internal. According to Ford Performance this would pretty much require a new transmission. Then you have $2100-$2500 rear diff parts alone. I pretty much stopped them there although they were quick to add that a high quality performance shop could add all these coolers with external pumps in a day's worth of labor plus parts for a lot less. Me...I really don't need them, but I want them and I am thinking about waiting if I can get any idea at all about the 2017 pricing being reasonable and all?
It's all good XLR8R! Like you said, I don't need them, but have wanted them since I ordered my Shelby. Thanks for calling Ford Performance and your dealer and doing all the leg work for us. Good luck with your negotiations for possible 2017!Sorry Tankman that's the info I received. I have a partial quote w part numbers too but I cannot save it on my iPad, just turns to code, without including all fittings etc. the rear diff was at $2080.
Spoke to Ford Parts and got part numbers, confirmed with my dealer they were for a Shelby GT 350, then I spoke to Isaac at Ford Performance and that is pretty much the story. Possible to retrofit but $$$$ thru Ford.
For me..like I had said, I don't need the coolers but I want them....if the new pricing is available soon so I know exactly what I would pay for a 2017, I might go for it if my dealer will cancel my order and roll me into the 2017. Lots to consider tho.
Waiting to see what the aftermarket may have to offer for cooling kits, but I'm not going to wait too long. I already researched the systems and located all the separate components need to add cooling to the transmission and differential, there would be an electric 3 GPM pump on each. For the pumps, connectors, wiring, hoses, filters, radiators, switches and temp gauges, the total cost would be about $700 for everything, plus a few days of work.Spoke to Ford Performance today.
