There was always mark up the first few high performance variants(all makes) in my area, but those quickly died off. the 350 is something like I have never seen with some dealers still charging ADM. If that is the case that the demand is still there, then sure as hell looks like Ford did something right with it. But I don't know, is there that many more people with demand for High Performance Mustang's than other makes? I remember the first Z/28s by me. easy 100K with ADM, that lasted maybe a month or two. At the end they couldn't give them away. The ZL1 for how amazing it is, easy to get a deal one. Same with the Hellcat can get a deal on them. Hell even the Focus RS had ADM for while. Easy 5-10K over sticker for a few months. Now you can get 3500 of MSRP. But the GT350, still after 3 years has ADM in areas. They produce similar numbers to the other makes, is the Ford just that more in demand?
Now the R that is a bit tougher to tackle when you straight up say only making about 500 per year.

Yeah, you make solid points. Ford made enough GT350s to handle the supply, the insane amount of used ones for sale speaks to that I think. I think it boils down to more money than sense maybe? Ford seems does have some DIE hard followers, some seem willing to pay anything for a Mustang and for the latest and greatest! That is REALLY great, and like you said, obviously they did something right.
