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.
Take a look at these MSRP prices:

2002 Mustang GT Coupe - $22,965
2002 Mustang GT Convertible - $27,220

2002 Camaro Z28 Coupe - $22,495
2002 Camaro Z28 Convertible - $29,590

How was the LS1 Z28 a much higher price then the Mustang GT?
