i have no problem with it being a turbo'ed V6 if it makes greater power and gets better fuel mileage

kenthicken

Absolutely, they should build a TT V6, but call it an "SVT-6" or something similar... not "GT."

I would never want that, If I basically wanted better fuel milage then I would by a ricer. I drive a V6 but I would love to have a V8. That would just degrade the car to the point I dont think I would want it. They could however make like Kenthichen said make a SVT6 or something and I could fly with that but still make limited quanitys of GT and they still be true GTs

and another question to ask Ford would be what would they do if they moved the
GTs down, what would they do with the higher end V8's like the Shelbys, Roushes, and Saleens but then again Shelby already has the CS6 so maybe that is the way the market is going but in that case I might buy a new car sometime in the future but I would keep mine now if anyway possible and make it a GT transplant

If it still sounds the same, goes the same, and looks the same, I dont care what is powering it.

I like this idea...

They have to keep the GT as V8... can you imagine having a turbocharged V6 Shelby GT? [:@]

thats a great idea

Good giod, this has been brought up a few times already in the last week or two...

If the V8 is going to be kept it will need to be revised...R&D money has to get payed from somewhere so the cost of the car will go up if the V8 is kept and improved upon. There is no way around that. Personally, I'd rather pay 30K for a V6 that is just as fast as a 35-40K V8.

Will they drop the V8 all together, probably not, but expect a price hike or "penalty" tax similar to a gas guzzler tax already being charged to some of the higher end cars that don't care about MPG.

The V6 engine idea is already in the works for the Mercury and Lincoln line. The lincoln line is considered Ford's luxury segment so most of the costs of R&D will be paid for by those that buy the Lincoln and Mercury line of cars. If Ford plans on revamping the 3V 4.6L they are going to have to use it more than what they currently do. 4.6L in the F150 sales dept pale to the V6 and 5.4Loptions.

The people that bitch about relying on gas from overseas or that "something" has to be done to cut our ties to foreign oil are the same people that bitch about not wanting to give up the V8 or pay for that change to happen...Kind of makes it difficult to do anything huh?

As for the SVO, ford messed up on that one. Poor planning and bad timing on the presentation. By the Mid 80's 90% of the market had already adjusted by offering smaller more gas efficient cars/trucks. That idea was about 5-10 years too late.

I think people need to let go of the past... Times have changed, and for the better.

50 years from now they'll back and wonderhow we could possibly live with these huge loud gas sucking engines when they have fully electric quiet luxurious cars.

Like how we look back at the Model T and other earliest cars.

Its time to move on.... We are stuck living in an in-between world which stinks, but lets embrace the future. Id love a twin turbo V6!!!!

IMO, Ford should get rid of the Mustang name simply because people expect loud big engines because of it. They wont accept change for the future if they're given an old name to dwell on.

i have a 6, i would laugh my @ss off if they made the gt's 6ers

I personally don't care what is in it, as long as it is fast. I like the power of the V-8, but if I can get the same or more from a turbo 6, then count me in.
