Hey guys, I was reading one of the multiple GT500 articles out there that rehash what little we actually know about that car, when a specific bit of info from Mustang Chief Engineer Carl Widdman caught my eye:
"Widmann did, however, tell us that the GT500’s block will actually make it into the GT350 once it’s in production."
Since we're months away from the GT500 starting production, this implies that the GT350 will also continue into 2020, and likely beyond. I'll be keenly interested in how the new block benefits the GT350, and if they continue to tweak it even with the GT500 on the scene. Could we even see more power out of the box with this development?
With this automatic only mandate on the GT500 so far, and because I think the 350 is the cleaner, nicer looking car, my preference remains with the 350 even if it gets eclipsed by it's big brother in the speed and features department.
