The GT crowd is far different from the mustang crowd and sales volume as well. I don't believe that Ford would take the muscle sound out of the mustang as the premier engine option or specialty car.

You very well may be correct, but I have my doubts.
Ford stepped FAR away from "muscle car-ness" with the Gt350 as it is far and away more often compared to German track handlers then Camaros challengers and chargers.
It wouldn't surprise me if they stepped away from the norm again with the new GT 500 and installed a variation of the GT v6 TT/auto powertrain.
Afterall, this was the recipe with the original 2007 GT500 release.
But in many ways, the GT350 is more true to the original than it is a German competitor. The original GT350s are still impressive track cars to this day.
With the ZL1 and Hellcat/Demon, there is no way Ford steps away from a V8.
Sex.
Okay guys, i just raced the new FGT in Dubai, was able to click off 10.644 @139mph.
if they can take the v8 roar out of the raptor then the mustang is fair game. Even toyota and nissan dont offer a v6 as their premium engine option. I wouldnt put my $$$ on ford following tradition anymore.
No way Ford takes the V8 away from the mustang, that would be anti-American.
With the FGT, they got away with it because they made it into a hypercar.
The Mustang is a muscle car and there is no muscle without a v8.
Agreed on the FGT from the video sounding good. Sounds just like a GTR!

So after you set LC, you floor it and keep the steering wheel straight...and that's it. Seems so boring. I guess with all the advances in automatics and electronics this is the way of the future.
Is that something like the bat signal?!?!
And yeah, I don't see Ford going away from the V8 for the GT500 either. That move would annihilate their sales. If I'm in the market for a forced induction V6 I would go to the foreign market.

Haha but you have to admit for being short in cylinders it makes up for in muscle and cool looks.

I would bet ford and GM produce more turbo v6's than any of the Japanese makers.
The original GT350 was not a "muscle car."
Very true but Ford's departed quite a bit as of late in its overall philosophy and the real question is whether or not the current logic spills into the next GT500..... we shall see!
Sounds about right. I was thinking more a long the lines of a M series BMW's and what not though. I of course can't get the old stuff out of my mind too, Supra, 300ZX TT's... I loved those cars.
That thing moves out, son.
Why? Burnouts are as queer as a 3 dollar bill.
