I spotted the newest Ford GT350R as I was pumping gas. As it was approaching, I knew I saw something special but as it got closer I realized it was a GT350R. Ford is planning on making only 500 units of this vehicle per year. The more common GT350 is limited to 5000 units per year. So far, the GT350R has been pretty hard to find and not only that I've seen dealers sell the vehicle for almost 130k above sticker. That is just crazy. However, in person the GT350R looks pretty awesome and that exhaust is just insane. The naturally aspired V8 engine just sounds so good. It's just leaps and bounds ahead of what the stock M3 exhaust can offer. I apologize for the poor quality photo as I only had my cell phone camera to snap this picture with. The license plate was unique as it read 350R. I thought that was an appropriate and cool thing to add to this special vehicle. In defense of the M3, the 350R is the track focused version of the mustang so I suppose a better comparison would be to the M4 GTS which I must say is at least just as good or better. Perhaps not the exhaust tone but in all other aspects they are deadly rivals.

Check out some of the cool cars I saw at the July Cars and Coffee event held at the Santana Row shopping center in San Jose. Take a glance at an amazing BMW M4 convertible as well. It had a custom interior leather with an individual color. Definitely not your run of the mill M4.
