Ford doesn't build their models to win races, they build them to sell cars. When they do want to build a car to win the race that is when you see your Terminators or Cobra R's or GT500's. Pretty much the entire history of the Mustang has been a base model, GT model, and a performance model for the horsepower junkies. Affordable muscle, that's what Ford is all about.

While Ford has not announced the Coyote officially (discounting the admisson by Ford of Australia Executive that Ford USA would supply it for the next generation Falcon) they have anounced they will discontinue manufacture of the 4.6L at Romeo so exactly where are you planning to get the 4.6L?
The 5.0L Coyote will not be that expensive because it will be the primary V-8 in the F150, SUV's, the next generation Panther (CV, GM, TC) and Falcon (Australia). It will also get better MPG than the current 4.6L and 5.4L engines.
