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.
hmm isn't it the mustang GT that wins all of those auto-x and drift races? ford focus winning rally quite a bit... bleh.. winning races is what sells performance minded cars. just because they aren't the fastest cars ford produces doesn't mean they aren't designed to compete in races.

alright.. that should be enough of picking on ronny2010gt he is just mad he bought a 2010 then found out these were coming saying you can s/c to get to 400hp is laughable.. when you will probably be able to s/c the new one and handle nearly an extra 100hp than the 2010s (you can get the 400bhp with just bolt ons anyway.. maybe need cams too, but i'd rather get a 2011 5.0)
