Yeah, is it a traditional 'musclecar' if it's not V8 and RWD? Ford has the problem/advantage of not having a sports car like the Corvette and instead prefers to go head-to-head against the Camaro and Charger/Challenger. (Although since the GT500 is Ford's current 'halo' car - it often gets compared to Corvette or the GTR)
Lots of rumors now swirling around the 2015 and there is a pretty good chance it will be significantly smaller/lighter. I am really hoping for something about 400 lbs lighter with the same kind of power - OMG).
