Default EcoBoost V6!

I was reading Motor Trend today and it said the Mustang EcoBoost V6 has been approved by Ford. It will have a direct injection, turbocharged 3.5 liter V6 that will produce more horsepower than the current 4.6 Mustang GTs. On top of that, it may get 2 mpg better. It said to expect this to follow the facelift in 2010. So maybe 2011?? I want one now!

What about a GT/V8.. they'll probably keep making GT mustangs though because all the law says is that the manufacturer has to make a certain amount of cars that use less fuel.

Who knows, they might keep a few GT's around boasting more power, but not as much as the GT500. I do know the new G8 GXP that Pontiac is coming out with is a serious threat to the GT. It will have 402 hp....does 0-60 in 4.7 seconds for under $40K. Ford has to "anti-up!"

My Dad had a dark green1965 Falcon. It was a pretty cool car, but kind of small for a family of four at the time. He took us all down in Mexico with it. I remember when he locked the keys in the trunk and couldn't speak Spanish!

I can only imagine what goodies will pop up on the aftermarket for the eco boost V-6. It might notbe a V-8, there's some serious potential for a built TT V-6. Just imagine the looks on the faces of those guys who end up getting smokedand realize that it was a V-6 that did them in.

It's the same right now when the current v6 smokes 'em.
