Decades (plural) means at least 20 years, and the Coyote is the DOHC
they have been using since 2011, so just under ONE Decade. I am from a
family of Mustang owners, and I have one, they have NOT been using
DOHC engines in the MUSTANG for DECADES.
The new GT500, -vs- Dodge's and Chevy's top of the line Challenger, and Camaro, the
GT500 won every time.

What are you talking about? The 1996 Cobra introduced a 4.6L DOHC motor into the Mustang. All Modular SVT Mustangs used DOHC motors. Seeing as how they were introduced in 95 as 96 year model cars basically 24.5 years ago. The Lincoln Mark VIII introduced the first Modular DOHC motor in 92 as a 93 year model car. 98 or 99 was the first year for the 5.4L DOHC motor which sold in the Navigator. The 2000 Cobra R used a 5.4L DOHC motor. Terminators are a Modular 4.6L DOHC car. The 03/04 Mach 1's were the first non-SVT Mustangs sold by Ford that came with DOHC motors. The 03/04 Mercury Marauders used the Mach 1's 4.6L DOHC motor. The 07 GT500 introduced the DOHC's to the S197 in the forum of a 5.4L. The 05/06 FGT used a 5.4L DOHC motor. The Trinity motor in the 13/14 GT500 is a Modular 5.4L DOHC based motor which upped the bore diameter a little and produced 5.8L of displacement.
There were quite a few cars (including Mustangs) sold by FoMoCo and some of the companys that branch off it that sold Modular DOHC cars nearly two decades before Coyote was even introduced. In fact the Coyote in just the evolution of the Modular DOHC motor. It's block shares the same footprint as a Modular 4.6L. While it's quite different and improved in certain area's, in many ways they are very similar. Think of it as being similar to comparing the GEN4 vs GEN5 SBC motors to each other.
