Don't mind me, I am just playing Devils advocate.
Because the money to design and engineer one with a powerplant that people want outside of the current versions has not been allocated to do that. I don't imagine the plant is a limiting factor at this point in time, although capabilities there would enter into any business case equation.

I am just being a pain.
I am bored. Nothing really to talk about. I wish a couple more 2009 Mustang photo's would pop up!

Yes, that would give us something to talk about, along with that much-hoped-for-but-might-not-see bigger displacement all-aluminum 400hp engine.

I am starting to lose interest in a 400hp SE Mustang. I've waited so long that I am now convincing myself that I should buy another GT and invest the extra $5000-$8000 on something else. I was an inch away from buying a Mustang GT yesterday, and I am still on the fence today. If I don't purchase a GT within the next 6 weeks, then I will wait till next spring and order a 2009. Hopefully it will have a facelift and a H.P. increase.
I figure when Ford completely re-designs the Mustang sometime between 2012 - 2015, that it will most likely will be the last new Mustang I purchase.

Why is that? No one really knows what will be offered that far in the future.

The reason why I am saying I only have two more new Mustangs left in me, is because I have other plans for my money. A Mustang is a toy. I figure if I purchase a 2012-2015 Mustang, the car should have everything I want - GDI, IRS, better handling etc.
It will be a car I will want to keep forever.

It might and it might not - this reminds me of my dilemma with HDTVs. I swear that everytime the "perfect" HDTV comes out, about 3 months later some other new feature appears. Product improvement seems to be never ending.

I daily drive mine now as a commuter car. I don't have children, so that helps, but I figured if I wait for the "perfect Mustang", I'll miss out.

You could be right. I may end up buying a new Mustang every 5 years, but right now I am hoping that is not the case.
