[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15729349, member: 121775"] That's where you keep going off the rails. If the performance is proven to be there, what does it matter if it costs as much as a GS/Z06? What rule is there that says Ford [i]has[/i] to keep the Mustang in the cheap seats? I don't think people are going to be dumping their Rs for the next GT500. Regular GT350s, quite possibly. With the R, they'd probably be more apt to [i]add[/i] the GT500 to the stable to have a complete set. That's my plan. That red badge means a lot more than you think. From all accounts that I've read and watched, the driving dynamics and characteristics of the R are so different from the standard GT350s that they could be two wholly separate cars. The other factor is the Voodoo engine. It's not going to appear in anything else. Sure, the GT500 [i]might[/i] have some form of flat plane crank engine, but it won't be a Voodoo and probably won't rev as high, although it would be nice if it did or even higher. The R [i]is[/i] greater than the sum of its parts, afterall. The next GT500 will be like what the 911 Turbo S is to the GT3. The Turbo S performs about the same or better, depending on the track/situation, but they're two different cars with different personalities and different purposes. People in that income bracket don't dump GT3s for Turbo Ss. They [i]add[/i] a Turbo S to the garage, if they like it that much. [/QUOTE]
