Will Ford up the stakes and upgrade the next Mustang to compete? If they do, you can bet that their prices are going up too and the people on the Ford forum's are going to be having these same discussions.

That is quite possible. However historically Mustang has made very small MSRP increases even when performance is notably increased during an MCE.
1998 GT starts at $20,150
1999 GT starts at $20,945
2010 GT starts at $27,995
2011 GT starts at $30,495
2016 GT starts at $32,395
If we follow the increase % of '10 to '11 which involved a new engine, transmission, and sheet metal we get the following for the next MCE, which
could bring performance inline with Camaro trim for trim... if Ford is even interested in that option.
2017 or 2018 GT could start at ~$35,501
