I get the rationale behind the 350/500 not being available here, I still think its shortsighted and typical of an American company. Germans dont seem to have issues engineering for both sides with the majority of their range.
I want a Mach1 bad, but I am also happy to wait 1-2 years for them to drop a bit. Or, build my own version (gearbox being the only big ticket item IMO).

The other issue that killed the RHD Shelby Mustang is the European drive by noise regulations,
something that also caused problems with the locally developed R Spec Mustang.
When Ford develops these special HP cars their eyes are only on domestic sales and
whatever export markets accept the cars with minimal technical changes.
