What I am seeing in our future is one where Ford produces the Shebly Cobra concept (and I think they should, its an awesome car) that becomes their long awaited Vette, Viper, M3, *ahem* everything killer with its acclaimed 600HP plus purpose built V10.
Then the next Mustang Cobra will see a jump in power, less than 500, but greater than the current model level.
Then of course they will have a special model, Boss, etc. to fill the gap between GT, Mustang Cobra, and Shelby Cobra. Just MHO.
P.S. - For those saying the 300 ponies in the GT isnt enough consider the following:
-Most if not ALL of the cars approaching that with their V6's have less torque then that in the GT.
-Most if not ALL of those cars are heavier than the GT.
-Most if not ALL of those cars are front wheel drive (a.k.a. NOT good performance wise).
There are some expections: Lancer Evo, WRX STi, and to a lesser degree the new GTO, but they aren't anything a few mods on a nice 3-valve V8 can't fix!
