The second is an all-new version of the Mustang, most probably a concept that would provide a clue to a production variant. Because this is just pure speculation, there is a desire for a Boss Mustang, 5.0-liters, 400 hp and a 6-speed manual transmission. A Mustang celebrating Parnelli Jones’ 1970 Trans-Am victory would be ideal apart from the fact that Saleen has already done it two years ago. Mark Field’s declarations offered a hint at something all new, but the likelihood of a new engine could make the purchase wait for one more year. It seems like it’s going to wait until January to know for certain.

Well, I would not consider the GT500 as one of the possibilities, because it is just a continuation of something that is already on showroom floors. Shelbys deal with Ford runs through 2012. If I were a betting man, I would put my money on one of the following:
1. Boss 302 (as referenced above)
2. Mach 1
