Lew,

Thanks, the V-6 Mustang is the base model and is not a GT. The GT has a 5.0 and 412 hp. I would venture that Ford realizes the importance of its Cobra Jet program and the attention is brings to Ford. I believe it does create a buzz for Ford and gets people interested in Ford products. Much in the same way (albeit on a smaller scale) that John Ford does or the Fusion does in NASCAR. The CJs have received lots of ink in the enthusiast magazines, and that helps, drive people to buy cars and parts from Ford Racing, too.

"Win on Sunday, sell on Monday," is a phrase from the old days and it is not the old days any more. But the idea of being out there on track and involved in racing does spike the interest in racers and enthusiasts and that is what Ford and the other involved manufacturers are after.
