:rofl2: A C7 starts at $63 CDN. No way I would pick a GT350 over a C7

Maybe for you, but I can fit kids in the back of a GT350.
That's part of the appeal of the 911 too
How fast is my 911?  Supras sh*t on on me all the time...in reverse..with blown turbos  :( ...

Agreed.  The GT350 has to start under $55K for Canada.  I wonder how much the Camero SS with all the go fast bits will cost.

The base price in CDN is actually right in line with the exchange rate. Being a fairly limited production car I'm guessing that Ford is not interested in subsidizing sales in Canada in lieu of potential profits. I can understand that rationale.

Isn't it funny how exchange rate is only taken into consideration when it's high? When it's low or at par...the pricing never reflects that.

Does it appear that in the US the track pkg is included in the price? It's part of the 900A pkg, which says it's N/C on the US option list. The Cdn list seems to show you have to pay extra for it, or doesn't show that...or I don't know how to read dealer option lists. I probably don't.
US on top, Cdn on bottom.

Or maybe it means it's an option on the "base" 350 and std on the R car, which would save you $500 over ordering them ala-cart. Oh well...either way the wife will say "no".

No, it means the package is available on the base car with is designated 900A. 920A is the R package.

On the list of options it just means that the package is available only with the 900A package.

I know that's the 'R' but still.


Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...
