Ford exec confirms the existence and intent to use the Coyote in the Mustang. I just pray to God that it will not be some stupid Boss 302 special edition. Give it to me in the GT. Ecoboost would be cool, but all I care about is the 5.0!

Obviously this is not "OFFICIAL" because it is a Ford of Australia exec commenting, and not a press release or anything (I don't believe), but it is as good as can be got right now. Great news! 400hp 5.0 in a GT.... *drool* I just hope we get new 6-speed trannys all around, too.

I just don't see how an antique engine belongs in a new car in the year 2011. Would love to know what advantages an old engine has over the 4.6.
