Funny part is the author doesn't use terms correctly - something an automotive author should do if they want to be taken seriously. The Mustang was never and still isn't a MUSCLE CAR (American made full size, seating for 5 with a V8). It has always been a pony car (2 door, 4 seats with a long nose and short trunk).
Unfortunately, the Mustang (and similar fast cars) have been tagged as a muscle car lately so its use is not out of common language.

My post is opinion based on trends. There will come a day the V8 is phased out and unavailable due to CAFE standards. Technology and turbo/superchargers will push 4 and 6 cylinder engines to where normally aspirated V8s are currently. Ford knows where the trend is going. The new GT has a 600hp 3.5 liter Ecoboost V6 with twin-turbo chargers. If some articles are correct it looks like tuners have gotten the ecoboost into the high 12s. Smaller forced induction engines are the future.

Also just be very careful when clicking the post button, as double posts are very easy to do.

[QUOTE=AK_Kayaker;8505314]I'm pretty sure it's one of those crazy you don't have enough posts yet thing, give it time and you will be able to edit, but not delete posts.

When you drink Bourbon and post it can get a bit tricky. LOL
