BUT, a weird thing happened. I love the GT350. I love the NA power plant. I don't bother with the drag strip anymore, and while the GT500 was a sledgehammer on a road course, the GT350 is a scalpel.
Now I'm really in a quandary, I don't like the idea of having the second tier Mustang, but I don't think a blown engine regardless of HP will be as much fun? ...
You already know it's not going to be as much fun. You've experienced it. Forced induction is a blast, but there's just "something" about a high revving, naturally aspirated engine; especially when that engine and the chassis carrying it are perfectly set up for each other. But who knows? Maybe lightning will strike twice for Ford, and the new GT500 will be the GT350R turned up to 11.
