Ford has to use the Mustang to push there because thats their only horse in the race, no pun intended. The mustang has to battle a range from v6 sippers to ZR1s if they want to have something to sell to the various levels of performance cars.

GM and Mopar developed platforms exclusive to high performance expectations ala Corvette and Viper. Ford has extra work cut-out for them taking a platform used on $20k cars and trying to make something that will perform as well as the Corvette and Viper.

Its a shame the Ford GT has been out of production for years now- I really like that car
