I honestly agree with 95% of what you said above. Your reasoning behind special not being enough is spot on! It is special, but who really gives AF? To me, that special crap is just a line of BS GT350 owners feed themselves to sleep at night after parking their overpriced Mustang in their garage. They need to knock at least $10K off the MSRP for any of that to become relevant IMHO. The issues with that platform and the Mustang quality overall far exceed the benefit of being special at that price point, which I think is your point too.
Where I struggle is with knocking the GT350 on the fact that it is slower than the ZL1. I know it is Ford's fault that they are being compared, but I don't think they should be.

Thanks. And yea maybe by text book definition the GT350R really is special. Probably. But by my definition I don't think it is...or I don't feel that it is. And I also don't feel like it is worth the price they fetch. But that is because I'm looking at the overall performance of the car. It is track focused and pretty darn good I'll give it that. But it is only mediocre to good when it comes to everything else...when factoring the price of it. I feel that when you start getting into the price range of upper $60Ks, you should be doing everything well (except for the Hellcat).
