Economics. It's extrememly affordable compared to anything in it's class. Think about how much more a charger/challenger/G8 is in comparison. They are nicer cars all around with more power, but you get what you pay for. The mustang is geared toward the younger crowd and is kept that way with it's affordability. The more power they add the more expensive they become, thus losing appeal they have to the younger consumer and become lost in the mix with the the 3 mentioned. How many 16-23 year olds can afford a challenger/charger/G8 compared to a mustang GT?

IMO, I would much rather have my $8,000 used 2001 GT, strap a $4000 blower on it and have a car that will beat just about anything I come across on the road.
