I agree that they are technically very different cars and there might be good reasons for giving them separate names. 'Shelby GT350' for the street and 'Mustang GT4' for OEM Motorsport as an example. But I don't understand why that would be needed nor preferred by Ford nor the Mustang...

European Sales:
http://left-lane.com/european-car-sa.../ford-mustang/
On track to sell around 15,000 in Europe. China's numbers appear to be pretty close but I need hard numbers and not percentages of Import sales. Australia gets between 500-1000...
But what kind of vehicle other than a track car? The 5.2 FPC is a high RPM, high HP, lower torque motor. That is GT350 territory for IMSA, PWC racing, and enthusiast's exclusivity.
I don't think anyone is saying that the 5.2 FPC (which is the exclusive motor) is likely to be used in anything other than the GT350. There was talk of a 5.2 CPC for the Mach1 and GT500.
Don't forget that these are USA only sales numbers. Canada still bought Mustangs at a rate of 2:1 over the Camaro, and Ford still has a large backlog of orders overseas, many of which are in countries who are now in early spring.
The GT350 is not the ZL1's competitor. That is the GT500's role and maybe a Mach1 for the 1LE. The GT350's competitor in GT4 racing will be the Z28 if it shows up.
Ford Performance and Multimatic's amazing racing success this year with both the FGT and the GT350R-C, plus the sales of the production versions have no doubt changed a lot of thinking at Ford. It makes no sense to stop production for original exclusivity reasons instead of pressing on with...
Mustang sales for September are still whupin the Camaro's butt in Canada
523 Mustang
258 Camaro
200 Challenger
I guess those Camaro fire sale prices didn't make it across the border.
Some of these bozos are probably looking in their mirrors for smoke or for crowd reaction and don't notice what's going on out front until it's too late and then they overreact.
I'm glad to see that Ford did not win September despite all of the Camaro incentives. Losing a few months to Camaro now may encourage some more preferable decisions regarding the 2018 Mustang prices and options.
Now there you go yourself stating your opinions as if they were facts.

Good luck changing everyone on the internet.
A better answer might be to stay off the net until you have watched your race recordings if you really must watch the entire race (including all that ST footage and commentary) before knowing the results.
