Like you said, why offer a N/A V-6 if you have a turbo 4 that weighs less with almost the same power.

Again, this is how i see it.

"SVO Package" -Turbo 4 @ 330HP ($23k)

"Pony Package" - Ecoboost V-6 @ 350 or more HP, my guess would be 380 ($26k)

"GT" - 5.0 Coyote @ 450HP or more. (likely to start at over $32k)
An ecoboost V6 starting in the mid to mid-upper 20s sounds pretty dang good to me....considering with only a tune you can get the heavy, family hauler ecoboost V6 Ford Flex into the high 12s in the quarter mile....just imagine what a tuned ecoboost V6 mustang weighing 3,300 to 3,400 lbs could do. Oh my.

But I have a feeling the ecoboost may only be offered on the higher trims and could cost into the 30K + range.

Hope I'm wrong.
