I admit - I am so not interested in anything about this new Mustang that I skipped over all the GT350 hoopla....
Just read up a bit. It sounds (to me) like the outgoing GT500 in that there's a lot of marketable features like the carbon fiber wheels that will make people go "ooh", but very little that is uniquely ground-breaking. It's riding on Pilot Sport Cup tires, which is nice...but even less practical than the G2 Goodyears featured on the 1LE and ZL1. The engine sounds interesting and unique, but it has less torque than an LS3. And the rest, Mag Ride, aero components, "if it didn't make it fast we got rid of it", etc...Sounds like Ford is compensating for the entire 5th-gen Camaro run in its marketing. None of that is new.
And what's with Ford and deleting the rear seat in that car all the time? I don't understand making the Mustang not a Mustang by removing the rear seat.
I reserve my full-on Mustang hate judgements until the 6th-gen Camaro is released. I have a funny feeling that whatever Camaro Team comes out of the gate with in May will make the GT350 track package look cute, and whatever "high end" model they've got planned for the future will make the GT350R cry. But...I'm biased. And that's why my garage will be painted Chevy Orange.
