If Ford were to make an SVO, why on Earth would they limit it to making 350 hp? It's a special edition so it would be more costly then a GT, but it should intentionally make less power? That's a recipe for a poor seller. If they were to do it, they may as well tune it for maximum power. As it is, we've got the GT500 and the upcoming Boss, so I don't think there is room for another performance variation.
When the next generation comes around, I could see the base model having an EcoBoost 4. I could see the Shelby GT500 (or Cobra if they decide to drop the Shelby name) having an EcoBoost Coyote. While I would like to see the GT customer having a choice of either the 5.0 V8 or an EcoBoost V6, I don't know if the Mustang sells in high enough numbers to justify having that many engine choices. It's one thing to offer four or five engines in a high-volume vehicle like the F-150, another in the Mustang.

An SVO would be fine as an SE, perhaps even giving the Bullitt a rest for a year or two, but it shouldn't be the top dog Mustang by a longshot.
