The v6 mustang is what keeps the mustang around. Ford makes more money off the base than they do the GT or the 'Cobra', and they sell more, which allows them to continue making them. Since the bodies/suspension are almost the same, the aftermarket can also afford to pump R&D into parts b/c they have a wider group of people to sell the parts to. For one, I am VERY happy ford continues to make the v6 and that ford used the same platform from 79-04, just look at the aftermarket for a mustang, there isn't a single other car out there that has such a large aftermarket specific to it.
