I think people are expecting too much from the Mach 1. I feel like it'll just be a dress up pack mostly with a few beefed up mechanicals and a lightly modified 5.0 for a couple extra horsepower. This new 3.5 will probably find it's way into the S650 generation but I think the S550 is gonna stick with the same old formula for the next few years here until the S650 when everything goes in a more radical, all-turbo direction.
Moreover why mess with a winning formula? The S550 is selling well.

Yep, every Mustang deserves its place in history....and the II is no exception. Right car for the time and I actually like that 70's kitsch now :)

I'd rather have my S550. Or the first generation. Or a '69-'73 mach Or an SN95... I think it's great to celebrate the entire heritage of our cars, and folks have done great things recently with Mustang II's. When someone says "Mach 1!" and you turn your head to look, which one do you most want to see?

I actually hope they do it as a V6 Turbo. When driven in non-boost saves gas. Step on it and you get 450-500 HP.
A forged boosted engine has a lot more potential to mod than a N/A engine.

Cause Europe loves AWD performance cars...
It's worth Ford considering - If the market isn't already saturated, and the Mustang loyal aren't alienated by it.

Maybe they could do an S550 Mustang RS for european buyers only with some type of turbo v6. The funny thing is even everybody in Europe is biased towards the V8 though. All the european reviews of the Mustang are telling people to go for the V8 still despite the much higher running costs over there.
