I believe this GT500 will be no different. It will be a 1/4 mile king and a serious modding platform. It will look and sound the part. It will be better at the track than a Hellcat but I am fairly certain it's not going to be an All-Star like the ZL1 or a Track-Star like the ZL1 1LE.
GT350 is and always will be the Mustang track car.
(my opinion)

Funny thing with these ZL1 1LEs, they are slow in the 1/4 mile and I would guess street action. Other funny thing is many seem to go up for sale shortly after purchase. So Ford please cater to your base and not MT and C&D, build the 500 to embarrass the competition where people actually use their cars street and strip. Don't worry about track times, build an R model for that.
