[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 13481844, member: 21786"] If you think Ford won't or can't deviate because of CAFE regs from their formula, especially on a limited model... There's some things you should consider: CAFE standards are based on an average across manufacturers entire lineup divided between cars and trucks. The more fuel efficient regular cars they offer then the more room they have to play with on other models. The GT and V6 are pretty fuel efficient for just the Mustang which keeps averages high and allowed Ford to build a 662hp GT500, which just so happens to be fuel efficient enough to avoid the gas guzzler tax. Ford can and will do whatever it wants with the Mustang. The next SVT could get like 10mpg and it probably wouldn't matter one bit because it accounts for so little volume of the total. The GT and lower models will stay traditional, but the top SVT designed models will always push their limits as a brand. [/QUOTE]
