5.0L Cammer. Plus for $125k I can get two GT500's with change to spare.

This one is a full prepped race car. I'm talking about a regular
street car to slide in under the Cobra in price. A low $30K,
naturally-aspirated, 400 hp/400 ft-tq, 5.0 powered, niche model. A
modern Boss 302 if you will.

I think the Cammer engine will see the light of day in a future Mustang.
Ford has the specialty Mustangs down to a fine art. They wait until
the excitement fades a little then come out with a Boss 5.0L, or some
other variation, to get us all worked up into a lather again. IMO, it's
good strategy on their part. It kept us buying old Fox body Mustangs
for 25 years. ;)

Why not just pick one up right now and stuff it in the Mustang of
your choice?

At that price I'll have to stick it into a Yugo. :)

I think a Chrysler crate Hemi (old style) with about 600hp is around
the same price.

Well, it's a helluva lot cheaper than Patrick's race car. ;)

How can they produce it if the regular GT costs this much?
