Yes and no. The Bullitt already makes 480. This engine in a mustang would have to make enough power for someone to consider it. Now if Ford could some how get it to pass emissions, it would still put a hurt in the CAFE ratings so despite the engine being a cheaper engine to produce I would have to bet whatever package it could come in would be quite expensive. Since the GT500 will compete against the Hellcat and ZL1 this would be a car in no mans land, an in between from the GT and GT500. The problem would be pricing it correctly.Sounds about right. But neither Ford nor Chevy nor any other mfr is likely to produce what I'd like to drive either.
Wouldn't any big-block Mustang end up competing against the ZL1 and some Hellcat iteration? If so, it'd have to have comparable performance, else it'd suffer being the slowest of the three by too big of a margin. I fear that the ability to burn rear tires down to the steel belts on command alone just wouldn't be enough. Not any more.
There probably are a few guy from back in the day who might want this specific combination. What I have to wonder is how many, given that the older I got the fewer of my contemporaries maintained any interest in "fun cars". Heh . . . perhaps all of us who bothered to join this forum are resistant to peer pressure.
