Also, the grille on the RC350 is different from (or "different than" as they say on TV) the grille on the RC350 F-Sport (which is the grille shown on your original note). Although I am surely biased as I have an RC350, I prefer that grille to the one on the F and on the F-Sport. In other words, there are three different grille looks to this one model, as well as the two different rear fender treatments.

You can get similar horsepower or better for less was my point, $30,000 less if you go with a Mustang GT 5.0. While I agree you're getting a much more refined, aesthetically looking car with the RC, it comes at the tune of $30,000 if you want want the HP gains of the RC F.
The carryover of the 3.5L and 5.0L are very disappointing to me considering both RC's are heavier. I love the RC, don't get me wrong, but I sure don't love the $30,000+ to get the RC F's HP.

While the Mustang is a very nice car, you would need to ( Pony up ) close to 70-80k to get something unique and have something different than all the school teachers, 25 year old boys, dads in a midlife crisis and maybe even grandma reliving her youth.
Oh did I mention the base model is now a 4 cylinder.
I looked at every car on the market that would cost me 70k and chose the RCF based on the pure fact that it is so refined the quality will be second to none.

As noted above, the hood line is different on the F because of the larger V-8 engine. My salesman thinks that not many of the F model will be sold; it's quite a bit more expensive, and the V-6 is quite zippy as it is. In fact, my RC with the V-6 has more HP and more torque than my previous SC430 with a V-8. The engine sound is not quite as nice, being a little higher in the tonal range, but it moves out quite smartly.
