I doubt Ford could get away with that otherwise they would have done it. Sure they upped the 2011 GT from the 2010 but that was a mid-Gen refresh also. The S197 had already been out for 5 MYs and they had the 2010 SS show up with 426 HP (LS3) which whomped them. So they had to do something. So I don't think many people were sore about that. Same with the 13 GT500 from the 12 GT500. The ZL1 was coming with 580 HP vs the then current GT500's 550 HP. And the ZL1 had lots of other options like IRS which the GT500 did not have. SO they had to do something to keep their fans happy. Hence the 13 GT500 with 663 HP. Not many 2012 Shelby owners were upset because a lot of them were still buying 12s. I'm not counting the Bullitt because that is just a GT that is slightly upgraded with intake/exhaust/tune/cosmetic stuff. But if Ford had eclipsed the GT350 with the GT PP2 just one year after people paid huge money for what is supposed to be the Halo car, I think it would have caused an uproar. That much is evident by the fact that Ford is not trying to eclipse the GT350 at all. They clearly could have with the PP2. But then, why exactly did the GT350 need CF wheels and the expensive FPC engine if the GT PP2 beat it without all of that in the same Gen? I don't see any way they could have done so without pissing people off.
Well on some of that stuff we will just have to agree to disagree. What we both agree on now is that the 350 is no longer needed.

I'm sure the Mustang will win Motor Trend's 2 mile run on the salt flats.

Mustang PP2 - We put track tires on our not-track-car so you can go fast when it gets cold in the desert.
