The way this statement reads is that it's
impossible,but yeah,they can do it.Impossible,by definition means that there is no possible way for it to be accomplished.That's why I said that your statement was kind of contradictory.

You are assuming too much. The point is that at 62k, the GT350R is still competitively priced against Chevy, BMW, etc.
When you start increasing the price by 10-15k, it starts entering new territory in terms of competitor vehicles. I think most Mustang fans would prefer to keep the RWD layout and not pay $80,000 for a Mustang.

That's totally fair and I do agree for the most part,but damn would it be nice to see what an AWD model could do.Think of the Ken Block's '65 AWD Mustang.Of course that thing is heavily modded and meant for drifting,but it's still an AWD Mustang. I would just like to see what a production level AWD Shelby Cobra would offer to the world.Price be damned.
PS
Sorry if I came off sounding like I'm trying to start some internet war.Wasn't my intention.
