Ford has always been successful selling the Mustang because the car never became too expensive like the 4th gens eventually did, and they've had little competition. Sure the LS1s have always been more powerful, but at a much higher price. Ford really isn't exactly sure how much the 5th gen will sell for. If its right in the Mustang's wheelhouse with significantly more HP, GM will have cut the legs out from underneath them, because Ford's modular engines can never match the LSX series engines in power. Ford will have to do alot of R & D in a hurry to come up with something better, and it's doubtful they can do it.
