all i know is i hear Stang and think V8 snarl, grunt, growl, and power... not ecoanything or 4 banger with boost... sure, the idea sounds fun and exciting, are we really at the point of jumping on the rice burner band wagon..... damnit, i just threw up in my mouth!! keep your 6'ers, your turboed4's and leave me the american muscle V8 gas guzzling, alarm setting off, **** my neighbors off in the morning, bad a$$ ride that the fathers before me slayed the pavement with!!!

I don't think they should ever get rid of the V8 stang...the 4 banger should be geared more for a daily driver for mustang enthusiats that want to looks in one stang and the performance in another, lol...i'll keep my '06 GT safe in my garage and use only for summer while I beat the hell out of that 4 banger as a daily, lol

From what I am reading, Ford isn't planning on stopping production of V8s, they just want to add 4 cylindars to the mix. They want to be able to market the car as a "world car."

I personally welcome the option of bringing in a 4 banger. Lighten up the incredibly heavy mustangs and bring things back to how they were before. Smaller, lighter, and nimble cars that don't need massive power to pull them around.
No doubt I wouldn't be giving up my 5.0 for a 4 banger even if it were faster, but that doesn't mean that Ford shouldn't come up with an eco friendly option that will also lighten the load and prove to be something all together different than what the mustang has lately been known for. I think Ford needs to create a mustang of a different breed that can both appeal to muscle car lovers of old and sports car lovers of new

Wow.
I remember riding with a friend in his '89 LX 5 liter and getting STOMPED by an SVO. All that Billy Bad *** chest thumping ego wouldn't have helped my friend that night. This was the early 90s I guess. Don't underestimate boost. Especially now days with modern technology.

As for the 4banger? The asshat who said this was Chris Theodore, I think. This idiot wants to remove the v8 from the GT. The GT only gets a sixxer. You would have to buy a Boss or Cobra or GT500 if you want the 8.
This jerk wants the 4banger to go in the base too.
Basically he wants to make it such that you would have to pay $60k plus for a v8 Stang.
I for one am writing a strongly worded letter to FoMoCo about this idiot and demand his removal from the company.
