Its on the verge of being a giant plastic cover where you cant see the engine.

It looks like the same thing they had slapped on the old Capri... back in 1980!

I think that is their whole point in using it.

Except for the fact that it isn't a plastic cover! This intake manifold allows the intake runners to be longer like the SHO engines.

Ford already upped the price on the 2010. I doubt that the price would increase more than $1000. Remember, this engine is being mass produced as the 4.6 is no longer used by Ford.

Now if only they would fix the tail lights... I'd buy!

Well with the 5.0 on the side of the fender I guess it will be easy to tell the difference between the 2010 V8 and 2011 V8... I wonder what the times for this engine is going to look like. Will it have the same problems putting power down the shelby and roush have currently?
