Probably not - I suspect a dealer ADM'd GT500, if and when it actually appears, will be about 60 to 80% higher that what I have in my 350 and I just can't see making that deal.

Price wise the two cars won't be even close. So no.

I think it will be more a question if the DCT will quench your thirst for driver interaction.

I would not trade mine. For me it has nothing to do with money. I love the naturally aspirated powerplant of the 350. I don't like forced induction of any kind.

Same here. Want an old school racecar. 526HP NA, manual trans, analog gauges, and track suspension.

I'm ordering a 2019 GT350 (probably non R) and it will take a lot for me to change my mind.

The new 2019 GT350 (non R) will be the best Non R to date.

The GT500 will have an ADM plus it's a first-year production so I wouldn't buy anyways.

I would have to wait 2-3 years minimum, not worth it.

I'm kinda hoping that 2019 spoiler will fit the track pack cars without mods.

I'm sure the GT500 will be a great car and very fast, but based on what I know I doubt I will own one.

Ditto on the NA high revving motor, 6MT, and analog gauges! I have only owned German and Japanese cars until now. Never thought an American car company was going to press all my buttons, or that I'd be driving a Mustang!

The GT350 is Ford's love letter to drivers that value the driving experience more than anything else. Nailed it.

As you I am not getting any younger but still very happy with my NA Mustangs and have absolutely no interest in the upcoming SC GT500 no matter what the specs end up being and how fast it will be.

Personally if it were me I would hang on and continue to enjoy #43 as these FPC powered Shelby's are very special as you well know.

Depending on how the car ends up, I might consider picking up a used GT500 in a few years. But for now I'm totally smitten by my hot whiny little redhead.

I sold my GT500 because I have been satisfied with going down the 1/4 at a very rapid speed. As I have told my friends who ask me "why" the GT350 is a driver's car. Once I take you out in it, the questions stop.

You can always buy power....but true performance is harder to come by.

I'm not a big HP kind of guy. This car is more than enough.

Also, I would have one hell of a time getting myself to sell a 15. Especially a track pack car.
