The weight difference alone will ensure there is a noticeable gap, will it be much closer than ever? Probably. But remember you aren't getting GT350R weight with 700HP. You are likely getting 3800lbs with all the strengthening and setup needed for FI. The GT500 should definitely benefit from MagneRide and R&D with the GT350. Also I'm sure aero will play a role and the C7 is definitely lower drag than the Mustang body. Will be interesting to see what they can come up.
