Or, it's why you don't buy a "specialty" car from a sales force trained to sell square cars to square holes. Not sure how much the package costs, but sounds like some sales people lost out on a little extra commission by not pushing that package. I'm sure, however, they tried to sell the rust protection to each and every GT350 buyer. X([/quote]

Along with "tire protection insurance", special no wax ever polymer coating and obligatory extended warranty--which of the bunch in my experience is needed with a Ford once you get beyond 40K miles.

Regarding the Track Package:
MagneRide Damping System, Integrated Driver Control (IDC) System, raised decklid spoiler, aluminum tower to tower brace, engine oil cooler, transmission cooler, differential cooler and heavy-duty front springs----$6500. I can see where if somebody wanted to play it skinny, he'd skip that package, but have a less capable car.

BTW, the oil cooler is std. on the 5.0 GT, but on the faster base GT350 you don't get one. Crazy....
