(I understand that displacement will in some cases cause the physical dimentions to limit the options of the frame and suspension, such as in the case of the 05 Mustang)
Even with the projected 50-75hp more and the additional .8L the G500 is only propelled to 60mph .2 seconds faster than the 03/04s. So it’s not really a worth while trade off in that case especially once you take in to consideration that it will not be as easy to mod as the last 03/04s were.
