Even if the LS-1 F-bodies had continued production, the high end supercharged SVT cost a lot more than the SS. And the base GT Stang was still wayyyy underpowered compared to the base Z-28.

Hek, even the LT1 Camaros were spanking Mustangs. Even though the Camaro ended in 2002, those LS1's were continuing to spank Mustang up until the new 5.0.
