Ford could probably get 300 (or what ever it takes to keep up with the V6 Camaro) by bumping up the displacement and/or adding DI (already on the TT version).
FWIW: I've heard that the Ecoboost was detuned in the MKS & Taurus because Ford doesn't have a transverse transmission that can survive more power. I think that the Ecoboost Mustang will make enough power to hang with the SS and the 5.0 will go in a (slightly faster?) heritage special edition.
At least that would be the smart thing for Ford to do if the engines are up to it. I can't see the business case for a car between the V6 and GT, but I could see offering two SS fighters. One for those who insist on a V8 and one for those who want better mileage or to mod for huge power.
