Quoting a magazine = " What do you all think of this new rumor " !!
.
I'm waiting for a thread about the " next " GT500, that includes:
A link to a Ford site for reference....or
A video from a Ford site......or
An interview posted on a Ford site........that mentions the future GT500.
,
.
I'll continue to wait..

They're doing this probably because they dont want to use old technology or develop a whole new motor just for one car. Its a money issue. But I can imagine the good side to this...Tuners will get their hands on the twin turbo 6 and open it up even further. no doubt. Still going to be a rocket ship of a car. Its all speculative though. I would still prefer a a rumble of the v8. You cant beat the music that comes out of the exhaust of a v8. nothing like it.

I prefer to hope for the rumor of it being an Ecoboost version of the 5.0 putting out 725-750hp.
Now that would be a smoking setup, since turbos aren't a parasitic drag on the engine, it would be putting out even more torque than hp.
