"performance" is overrated, in my opinion. I recently sold a 2016 GT350. I took it to the track a few times and it was phenomenal, but it was boring, at least to me, on the road.
The most fun I have driving is on country roads, doing maybe 65mph or thereabout. For that type of driving the middie is wonderful. It puts to use every one of its puny 150hp. It weighs 2,500lbs, so they're more than enough. You can steer with the throttle. Unassisted brakes and steering make you feel the car working for you and with you.
With the Shelby it was like playing an old video game. Way too much car for that kind of driving. The performance envelope was too far out. 520hp, magneride shocks that keep the car perfectly level at all times, not an inch of yaw, not a hair of nosedive, turning like it was riding on tracks. I could almost hear the car yawning. If it could talk it would have said "wtf is this crap? I thought we were going to Watkins Glen".
