2010 Return of the 5.0
#3
In truth, if the new 5.0 will be a DOHC motor only......I may a bit disappointed. This will mean either the GT won't be getting the new motor........or, if it does.......the GT will get significantly more expensive.
I'd rather keep the GT a sub-30K car, and keep the pricier "Coyote" for the next Mach 1 or Boss. Now, of course......if they CAN deliver a Coyote powered GT at or under 30K, that'd be a horse of a different color. But....this is Ford we're talking about here.

Ford is at a point of make or break, if they blow the next stang (or any car at this point), they're pretty much done. I wouldn't be surprised to see them put a 5.0L 4V motor in the next GT to lure people into showrooms.

Dont' get me wrong I would love more power, I just don't see it in the near future for Ford.

I linked my front page article to this discussion rather than making a new one...
I dont know what Ford is going to do, but I dont forsee the GT still 'only' having 300 horsepower.

If they don't keep a baseline v8 mustang below 30k, (which might be impossible with the 4v motor) then ford will sink. Lets hope they throw in a 5.0L and keep it under 30k. Then you'll see some sales.
I think even if they didnt respond to camaro and challenger they'll still end up on top financially, at the end of the day. And that's what matters to the big guys the most. $$$$
