[QUOTE="dubbsfaris, post: 13720546, member: 96942"] There wont be a lack of power in upcoming trims, but it wont be from the 5.8 The trinity was too costly to produce, and too tolerance specific to build in mass production. Besides, there wont be a performance trim for 2015 introduced. Ford marketers spend years looking at buyer trends. One of the most glaring trends is this: Mustang fans will get in line to buy a GT because its fresh and new and there are those that just cant wait. In 2016, Ford can get more of the demographic by offering a performance trim (The GT350) and although it wont start out with more than 550 HP, who knows what a 4 or 5 year run of that would be producing at its conclusion. The smartest guy here was the one that had a 2004 Cobra, and bought a 2014 GT500. If you have the restrain, and can stand to wait on the sidelines, buying the 2017 or 2018 GT350 will pay off huge, and you would likely be able to bookend your best of the S197 GT500 with the best of the S550 GT350. Those like ME, well, we are screwed.... as I bought a 2008, 2011, and then finally the 2014. I cant make it longer than 3 model years, and only make it that long because my wife threatens me with divorce. [/QUOTE]
