the 5.0 was in development before the new Camaro even came out. And Camaro wasnt "gone", it was dead. The Mustang revived it with the 2005 design that started the retro craze which is why the Camaro went retro as well.
in 2005 ford upped the power of the mustang from 260hp to 300hp (trap speeds indicate closer to 325hp) even though they had no competition from GM. They built the 500hp GT500 in 2006-2007 even though GM didnt have anything to compete with it, so its not like fords been sitting on their butts doing nothing with the Crustang.
