It should be a better race with the new engine, but I seriously doubt the Mustang will be significantly faster. Also, you never know what GM's got up their sleave with the LSx motors.

.2 difference to 60 and .5 behind at a 1/4 despite being down 111 horsepower isn't that bad.
Adding ~30% more horsepower to the Mustang should make a difference. How much we won't know until someone can test one, but I don't think Ford is going to go down without a few punches.
