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.

Like others said, the 4.6 will no longer be produced, so unless Ford has 100k sitting on the shelf to keep putting in the gt, it will no longer be in the gt. The 5.0 will and trust me, I bet you anything it will get better mpg than the 4.6. It would only make sense with the technology and fact that our retard Pres. thinks everything should get 50 mpg by next year.
