You're assuming that the 350 in GT-350 relates to engine displacement, which would be an incorrect assumption. Beyond that, there are no Mustang GT-350s and any Shelby owner would gladly bring this to your attention. Matt is on the right track (it has to do with distance) and you are somewhat correct in that some things are arbitrary but everything has some element of reason behind it even if it seems mysterious.

Using your Fe reaoning, why didn't Ford name their aluminum engines Al? No, I think this horse is dead. You can quit beating it.
This thread, so far...
