Eventhough the next Mustang will be smaller, lighter and greener, look for it to use the 5.0 as a top end option. Ford invested too much in the 5.0 to relegate it to just truck use. The development potential for the engine is huge, the possibilities of a 500 hp version in a more adgile car with IRS would be the future of the muscle/pony car. I just do not see Ford diminishing the Mustang image to conform to the Aisian typical cars, but more to European touring sedan types. I will be at the front of the line for one of them, bring it on FORD!
