Poll: What should Ford call the GT350 for MY2018-19

[JohnZiraldo]

Assumptions:
- Ford Performance is committed to OEM and Turn Key racing until at least 2019 as demonstrated by their Ford GT announcement.
- Ford and Porsche are supporting IMSA, PWC, and FIA in establishing a unified GT4 racing specifications worldwide.
- Ford will continue to homologate and race a GT4 coupe for as long as they race the Ford GT. There will be at least one street version, possibly two.
- Ford will race their GT4 coupe in FIA and sell their street versions worldwide where allowed.
- Ford will continue to release SE FI (Mach1, GT500, Cobra Jet) cars to compete in sales and Turn Key racing with GM and FCA but not for OEM racing.
- Ford's GT4 coupe will evolve from the current GT350 FPC through 18-19 as rules allow with upgrades such as PDI, DCT, light-weighting, early release S650 features etc.

Given the above assumptions what would you prefer Ford call their GT4 coupe for 18-19? You don't need to own any Mustang to vote. You just need to know what a GT350 is and have some interest in this ongoing debate.

Your preferred name for Ford's 18-19 GT4 track car? Feel free to explain the reason for your preference in the threads below.

I voted for the GT350 name for these main reasons.
- An S550 with a FPC is by definition a GT350.
- Ford and Multimatic have already established a winning record for the GT350R-C. Why would they want to change that name?
- GT350 was established as a factory supported race car, not just as a 2 year sales program. It's history is about racing, not collecting.

Maybe one of us should do what this guy is doing to stop Ford:

I like how he brought a broom to sweep up when the cop showed up

I need a "this is a silly poll" option

 

[JohnZiraldo]

Doesn't anyone have any serious 'other' names for 2018-2019?

That second guy swings like a girl....a girl who can't swing, I should say - because I've seen plenty of girls that can kill it.

Great way to resurrect the Terminator name....for the record, if Ford is going to release a lightweight and possibly smaller coupe with DCT I am all for it, as long as it is not a GT30.

thePill added the moniker 'GT350R-GT4' in another thread. That would seem to fit with the first option in the pole instead of GT350R-C.

 

[JohnZiraldo]

And the winners are
doz, jrdejavux, Jumpman, mikeylikesit, SDShelby, sweetchuck2001

Not exactly as polled but 'Mustang GT4' for the race car is close enough.

ThePill's guess of GT350R-GT4 is also close enough for a win.

'Mustang GT4' is the name I was pulling for but didn't think Ford would do it.

Now we have to figure out what they are going to call the 2018 5.2 FPC street car.

Selfishly, anything BUT GT350.
