Ford to keep Mustang fresh; 600hp model possible

Ford will offer "new product content" each year with the Mustang, company executives said earlier this week during the 2007 model year rollout. Executive Derrick Kuzak told Edmunds Carroll Shelby will work every year on the Mustang. When asked if a 600+ hp model will be offered, he said, "never say never to anything." In an interview with Mr. Shelby himself, Edmunds managed to get further details. Shelby said GM "better not dream" of having more horsepower than the Mustang with the new Camaro. Recent rumors have suggested GM could drop the Corvette Z06 engine into the Camaro. Shelby said it would be "very easy" to push the 'Stang to over 600 horsepower and still offer the company's 50,000-mile warranty. He also confirmed an all-new Mustang is due in 2009.
