I honestly think Ford did the best they could here. I'm not defending them by any means but this was the best they could do. My opinion here is that they spent too much time and money on a FPC engine that just didnt work out well.
They have struggled to build a competent chassis incorporating IRS and lower trim Camaros are giving the Mustang all it can handle and then some. The Camaro V6 1LE annihilated the GT PP1. The SLE is so close to the 350 Ford won't even allow a comparison. They have had to go back and refresh the 5.0 to compete with the SS and develop a PP2 (on personal time) to compete with the SLE. All of that costing valuable time and money.
And now this. The ZL1 and ZLE are beating the 500 at everything but roll racing.
Given the chassis disadvantage and everything else, Ford did the best they could. In any other generation this car would be a clear winner.
