[QUOTE="ANGREY, post: 16438053, member: 188865"] It's a tweener car. It's like they couldn't make up their mind what they were trying to accomplish. It's obviously not a street/muscle car bruiser. They took SOME of the elements of the 350 and retained them, added rev matching and slapped a new appearance package to it and voila. It's a rewrapped PP2/Bullitt with a 3160 trans and rev matching. If they were going to crown the successor to the GT350, I'd rather they just pissed off the purists and did a 350 with a 5.2 coyote. It's not unthinkable Ford was wanting to discontinue the voodoo for warranty costs and production inefficiencies. But instead of creating the next generation of N/A track focused car, they shorted it. If they were going to go this route, they should have taken a GT350, swapped the motor for a 5.2 coyote, added rev matching and possibly the larger brakes from the big brother GT500. As it were, this is not going to be as capable as a GT350 (on equal rubber) and it's not a pure muscle car like the Mach-1 of old (of course we've seen Ford has little loyalty to lineage when it comes to the Mach name....the Mach-E is some marketing pukes abortion). In summary, it's a rebranded PP2/Bullitt with special badges and a TR3160. [/QUOTE]
