Really just venting as I'm sick of hearing about the Demon and ZL1 while we are stuck with an anemic 526hp top level Mustang.
I'll be first to tell you I love the GT350, especially the R, and will own one eventually.
Just have a problem with Ford neglecting drag and street/strip guys, the majority of Mustang owners/racers.
SRT and Dodge really are killing it when you talk to enthusiasts of street cars. I currently DD a Charger Hellcat and I can tell you the Hellcat hype is legit and lives up to its reputation. Ford easily has the tools to build a competing car, even sedan; but apparently not the balls.
My point is Ford dropped the ball on the 50th anniversary of the GT500 and really need to offer a 'Drag Pack' in the next gen car. Definitely keep the 'Track Pack' for the press release, but in the street we need big power and traction in a straight line.
Ok, rant over, just sick of holding back when I hear all the Mustang bashing when guys talk to me about the Hellcat not knowing I'm a hardcore Mustang guy and I have to concede their point. As good as the GT350 is, it's a dog compared to the higher power Dodge and Chevy offerings.

YES - especially living in Colorado, the GT350 is normally aspirated garbage.... Try a GT350 a high altitude... what a waste of good money. Its just like the corvette... normally aspirated junk.

I think we’ll get information of some sort from this show. Some specs, details, and joy of joys, possibly another fantastic graphical adventure.

2019 gt500: the digital masterpiece you’ve always wanted. I’m not insulting the PR team, I’m sure they are doing the best with ever-changing situations to at least show something, but the digital release is arguably very easily criticized by opposition and anti fanboys.

**** the GT500, Lincoln (at least looks wise) is knocking it out of the park with the Navigator and now the Aviator. Need to hit the lotto...
