IF,.. If any engine upgrades/changes will happen,.. It will most definitely be the I4.
Absurd amounts of potential left on the table for cheap fixed operational costs.
{Flex fuel capability + factory tuning = Huge gain..cheap}
2018 Mustang EcoBoost__ base: 310 horsepower / 350 lb-ft torque
2018 Chevy Camaro_____ base: 275 horsepower/ 295 lb-ft torque
Oh yeah, .... the Mustang is cheaper with more standard options...
I4 seems like a no brainer , in combination with LS V8 , plus mid-cycle refresh....
If they want sales, it will happen...

2018 Mustang starts at $26,485 cs $26,900 bucks for a Camaro, so yes the Mustang is cheaper however I don't know if I would make a big deal out of $415 bucks. As far as what comes standard it looks about the same, from a performance stand point the Camaro 2.0T has a curb weight of 3,340 pounds compared to 3,500 pounds for the EB Mustang. This mass difference largely makes up for the power difference for the two cars, really the Camaro is just a 1LE pack away from being able to keep up with the EB Mustang with PP on the 2018 cars. In other words with all of the improvements Ford made to the Mustang I expect performance parity between the two cars.
