Nitpicky, I know, but they did not make a GT500 in 2006.
As for the rest of your post, there is some truth in it, but some untruth, as well. Mustang enthusiasts did complain about the track prowess (or lack thereof) in previous generations of Mustangs. However, like Camaro enthusiasts, only a small, small portion of owners actually put there cars on road course/open track, so complaints were not prevalent.
I can tell you, that type of racing has really gained momentum in the last 5-10 years, so it is no wonder buyers of Camaro's and Mustang's are looking for more in that area from those cars. That is why Ford introduced a package that could be ordered for the GT. To satisfy those few (in the overall scheme of things) that actually planned to put their car on a track.
