Absolutely. By the time I was serious about changing my car, the GT350 was gone and we'd already heard that the Mach 1 wasn't getting it's engine. The GT350 I drove was a friend from out of town's, and he had two engines blow (covered under warranty). He'd had the car for 26 months, but the dealership had it in their possession for almost 6 of those months. Internet anecdotes aside, it's pretty clear why the Mach 1 wasn't getting it. I still came close to putting a deposit down on a Mach 1. In this day and age, an NA V8 with a manual and a competent chassis (with the right options on it) is a tempting thing.
