Question New 2010 model V10?

Just thinking and reading some different stories online but wouldn't a V10 in the new mustang line-up be perfect?

Isn't that story like 6-7 years old? Just as Ford did in '88, commissioning Roush to produce twin-turbo 351W powered still-born 25th anniversary model(with 4 wheel disc & ABS), it was just a design exercise. Maybe these cars were considered(at one very brief stage), but cost versus profit level made these special prototypes prohibited IMO. Nice to dream though, isn't it?

Ford doesn't have the money to pay its bills, much less develop and open an assembly line to produce ANYTHING NEW.

Do you think they should go to the government and beg for a bridge loan to build a new factory to produce a V10? Or to bring back the 5.0?
It's not going to happen.
I highly advise those who think Ford should do this and Ford should do that to go watch the hearings from this past week. It's your money, fellow Americans, and Ford (and GM and Chrysler) are begging for loans.

If we want a V10 in our mustangs, it will be US who do it, not ford. That being said, anyone got a V10 motor hanging around?!?!?
