All I know is that Meh mustang is kicking the crap out of my Z for equal or less money.
Here is the thing, 'Meh it is just a Mustang' is because the Shelby GT500 really is just a Mustang with a blower and suspension tweaks. I agree they do a great job taking the platform and improving upon it, but my statement is at the end of the day the GT500 is nothing more than a Mustang.

Now if ford made your 2 seat, AWD, 800HP car you listed, then that would be something completely different on a new platform.
