Ecoboost twin turbo V6 in a Mustang?
I read today that the guy in charge of the twin turbo ecoboost engine at Ford believes that present Mustang owners believe the only performance engine type we will ever want is a V8. Now I love V8s and supercharging as well, but I like the idea of a 350 HP direct injection V6 turbo getting 28 mpg on the highway. What do you v8 guys think?
Also does anyone know if there is a plan to replace the replace the current V6 with the naturally aspirated 3.5 direct injection V6? Should be good for close to 300 hp.

I don't have anything against a V6 that makes 350hp and excellent mpg, I think it's awesome. It's just that when you think of an American muscle car you automatically think V8. That's how it's been done for decades and seeing that change just isn't something we want to happen.

Not too great as far as milage for a v6 but for that power its not bad. I can get 30 highway on my stock gt. Not saying i would drive one, but v8s are so much cooler. And i vote for a TT V8 AWD IRS 2011 mustang. Oh, i also need to win the lottery so i can afford one if they made it.
