[QUOTE="Formula51, post: 7676638, member: 19833"] Well, Mustang V6 versus Mustang GT sales are usually around 2:1. Sometimes as high as 4:1, so I do agree that the focus needs to be on the volume leader. However, 2:1 certainly means GT sales are more important than many give them credit for. Roughly 30% of all Mustang sales is significant. The real question will be what does Ford do with the V6. What engine will it get to compete with the 300+hp Camaro V6 and import V6's and what will the gas mileage and price be? Those questions will determine who wins where it counts: sales. Perhaps we will see the 2010 Fusion V6 (260hp) in the 2011 Mustang and hopefully with a 6-speed auto and manual. How much do you think that will increase the price of the Mustang? Will it get as good of gas mileage as the Camaro V6 even with 40 less horsepower? These are all important questions. As for the GT500, it will sell regardless of what Ford does with it. If the rumors are true though, can you guys imagine how incredible a 540hp 3,750-3,800# GT500 with better balance (say 55/45) would be? Depending on price, that could make a real bid for the best bang for your buck against cars like the Z06, Camaro, and GTR. [/QUOTE]
