It would never come out at $60k or less, I guarantee it.
I also guarantee, that everyone that owns a GT350(R) will want the new GT500 as it will be a GT350(R) on speed.
Yep, pretty much...

Perhaps. I can afford to drive pretty much whatever I want, doesn't mean I'm devoid of the concept of value. I can afford an R, just didn't see the value in the extra cash and certainly not when I'd have to hire a unicorn hunter to find the trim/color I wanted.
So you think Ford is going to offer the GT500 as you've described for LESS than the MSRP of a 350(R)? Unlikely. And if that's not the case, then the value of the base 350s will be fine. It'll probably murder the R guys who paid $10k over MSRP.
Part of the reason GT350 guys haven't all dumped their 350s in favor of the R is because the price delta has remained. Adding a blower will move that calculous a bit, but again, it's going to be hard for anyone to justify $20k+ price delta just to dump their cars at a huge loss. Even if there's people with more money than brains.
guess we will find out soon, plenty of folks trying to find outVoo Doo is not made for boost. I question the long term reliability of a FI'ed voo doo.

... I'm not trying to set any drag records or be the fastest from a ricer roll...
i am wanting to try almost exactly what you're saying. although i admit i was a little bummed to see the 3160 rated at 425tq.

So, why are you wanting to boost it? The only people that feel the GT350 is "underpowered" are the ones who want to drag/stoplight race and/or do ricer rolls. Otherwise, why screw up the characteristics of the car?
I don't think that is correct, considering that the Voodoo is rated at 429 lbs/ft. Highly unlikely that Ford would use a transmission that is exactly at or slightly less than the torque output of the engine attached to it. That transmission wouldn't live long at all.

Ford has had a GT350 (by another name) and a GT500 for sale at the same time and they both did well. There are buyers for both. How many wanted an IRS GT500 vs a GT350, we will find out if/when the next GT500 drops.
Think about how many FI Boss 302s you've seen though.
I have no idea what you’re getting at. LSs had big ADMs and the GT500 did most of production run too.
If your point is they might have sold less GT350Rs if a new GT500 was out, maybe. I don’t care enough to go look up prod numbers and compare.
There is a market for both. I personally doubt most demand would be for a GT500.
