Fourth Horseman

Geez... 4.6 liter (281 ci) is what we're laughingly referring to as a "big" V8 now?

I don't know man, there's a big difference in price between the Z06 and the Stang. i feel your point on modability being a big fun factor for the Stang though.and I say this as someone who has dont nothing more than an axle back exhaust so far

mods will come in due time.

If any stang has alot of performance for the money, it will still be a viable product. the vast aftermarket for our crs will find a way to adapt to whatever ford throws out. I'm not gonna panic just yet

Thanks for the compliment RedGTyl. Wait till you see the hood I am getting for it. Tufiber Venom.

And I see you are fed up with Bush as well (but not for the usual reasons). I appreciate his strength when it comes to the middle east but this energy bill and a few other things have got me pulling my hair out. He's got a lot of people hating the Right and I believe that the hatred for him here in Maryland is what got us our Communist Governor Martin O'Malley. Talk about rage. I can't stand this blue state anymore.

I think that is why they said it will be like 5 years before they will use it widely.. If they are smart they will perfect it before any car is sold to the consumer.

I really don't have a problem with it.. what if they make a v8 version of this? amazing power. probably for the cobras.. v6 for gt, 4cyl for regular.. I have no problem with that as long as power is Atleast as good as it is now.. and preferably even better.. I didn't buy this car just for the V8.. I would have bought a turbo'd v6 or maybe even an Sti if it looked anywhere near as good as our cars do, or if it had the same kind of value as ours do (you could easily spend an extra 10k for a 350z or an STi for same hp/features, plus, not look as good)

Well said. We are the only things on this planet that matter.


All this for 2mpg? Seems like a waste of time to me.

Mishri

I agree, for only 2mpg it would not be worth it... I hope its more like 10mpg.. or its a waste of their money.. and power is power.. who here wouldn't wantto trade their stock gt for a supra eventhough itsnot a v8? ifall you care about ishow many cyl. you have... then... somethingisn't right with you... looks + speed.. isn't that most important?

Every manufacturer is being affected by these stricter mpg raitings...the Corvette will soon be scaled back and make less power because of these restrictions...Ford's australian market already sees pretty fast turbo V6's with the Ford brandingthat are competing with Holden and their GTO/V8 cars...I guess it was only a matter of time when Ford would make the switch...Also to say that the boosted cars are already at their limits peformance wise is a farse...this should not be a blanket statement...every car has limitations regardless of how much power is being pushed by the manufacturer...I've seen plenty ofboosted cars push well beyond what the factory was getting fromt them...i.e. 03/04 cobra or the GT500...hopefully when ford makes this move they will build the engines strong like they did for the Cobra and GT500 and people will make awesome power...if I am not mistaken even some of the stock evo motors could crank some serious power before problems would arise...

I would say speed + looks, but yes I agree for the most part
