Don't forget the possibility of pent-up demand which could shoot the price past sticker and leave little room for haggling.

Also this engine cost will be very expensive first. It's all about operation management and economics, aka the learning curve. The engine/transmission will be cheaper to make as you progress down the learning curve, but this engine at first I think will go at a premium. Plus as much money as ford has spent on this engine/transmission we still have no idea about reliability until these cars get out on the road. Plus this could be a very popular year for the mustang, just like the Camaro's this year, I doubt dealers will knock much if anything off of these cars till 2012.
The dealers will be able to get a premium on the new 5.0 only for the people that just have to have the newest and greatest. I will wait 'til 2012 because I never pay over invoice for a vehicle (I got my '08 GT Premium for 26,000 OTD - including rebates!).

This whole new engine without a car redesign isnt anything new. Anybody remember when the SN-95 platforms switched from the 5.0L to the 4.6L? Any price increase will probably be about the same as then.

I like the 5.0 badge. It reminds me of the 5.0 fox days.
But, if I got one, I'd probably replace it with this:
Or something similar. I'd like one to look like that but also say "High Performance" maybe.

ain't no ****ing ****. The new mustang looks cheaper than ours. God forgive me folks but I think the 05-09 is the best looking stang ever besides maybe the 19681/2 Mustang.
