if you mention the import v-8 don't leave off the PRICE tag, too.

Wow!!! Where is this going? I posted an article that rated highly the V8. Doesn't mean the V6 is a bad engine. Hell, its got more power and potential than my old Fox body GT had in 1989. If it was a bad engine, Im sure Ford wouldnt make it and even more sure the consumers wouldnt buy it. Guys,we are all, at the end, MUSTANG owners.

to bad the Shelby Gt isnt 325 HP..its more like 319..but no biggie..

All GT owners should be proud is essentially the same motor..


You're right, I have the exact same FRPP setup as the Shelby GT, and though they rated it at 325 h.p. in the begining, Ford revised it to "only" 319 h.p. last year.
I've been delighted with my choice since day 1 (even though I paid more $$ for slightly less h.p. than you can get from other aftermarket setups, because I wanted to keep my 3 year warranty); and the sound of the GTA's is truly a thing of beauty!

Joe, deep down, we already knew about the 4.6.
The Terminator mill will be in the History books, like the Boss 9 etc...

Thanks for sharing that with us...
Nice to know that, not all report are biased about home products.

a V6 Honda or Nissan that puts out near 300HP isn't too pricey.
