A new, more "sports car" mustang is also on the horizon and I doubt ford would dare get rid of the V8.

If they can get it to around 3K lbs even, a 300 hp motor would make it faster than the current Z with less power.
300 bhp put of a (>2.0) turboed 4 is very doable.
I'm thinking 3100 lbs, 310 bhp turbo 4 OR 3250 lbs 350 bhp NA V6.
Then it's just a matter of selecting your preferred flavor.
