Ford could keep the 300HP engine and still sell every one. To some people driving a Mustang is more about what is under the hood. How many years did it take Ford to reach HP in their entry-level v8 Mustang?? GM did it 10 years earlier and look what it did to the Camaro/T/A
We all know what happened to the GTO. Sales sucked, GM bumped HP to over 400HP and they still sucked. Now it's a dead vehicle again.
2010 is a long way off. Who knows what will happen by then. Gas could be $7/gallon and nobody is going to want 400HP V8's except for the rich who could afford the $105 fill-ups by that point.
Then again if you have a paid off '06 GT and money to burn i doubt you are worried too much about gas.
If i was in the market for a new Mustang i could easily order a 2010 GT sight unseen. I don't care how many HP it has or what it looks like. The Camaro/charger could have 200HP more...but i want the Mustang.
