Soooo...if there's a Shelby, it will surely be based on a 5.0-sized block which, in n/a form, will apparently run to 475 hp.

If the EcoBoost-4 becomes standard fare, then a base 'Stang will be akin to the SVO Mustang of the mid-'80s...in more ways than one...which contained a LOT more exotica than the pedestrian GT of its time.

Maybe Jamal will step in here and 'splain what's gonna happen...maybe.
I agree with you based on the latest information that I see. I knew Ford was testing a twin turbo 5.4 and a 5.0 last year.

I don't know how the Ecoboost will exactly fit in. Drop the V6 or do an "SVO like"model?? With a V6??
