At least not any time soon. Like I said before, people paid lots of money including dealership markups to get into a GT350. Even more for a GT350R. Ford would be foolish to snub them after 2 years and offer up a GT that can rival the R. That would be a bad move and a slap in the face. Plus looking back, the standard GT has never really been much of a killer performance car. With Ford it is always the higher up more expensive editions that actually have good handling. Like the Cobra R, BOSS, GT500, GT350, Termi Cobra...each of those cars in their time period were really good while the GT was simply lame. You always had to go to the aftermarket to get the GT to perform up to the higher model specs. I see it being no different this time around. The GT even in PP and PP2 form will be ok at best. It will hang with the 2SS maybe. But it won't touch the SS 1LE. Unless and only unless the PP2 is taking the place of the Boss or the GT350 which I doubt. I think Ford is still gonna be playing catch-up for a while.

I suspect that you are right. Which is a shame because in my mind the GT 350R should be competing with the ZL1 1LE.... Not competing with a FBO 1LE
