Lol, its fun to imagine having a girlfriend to talk dirty to isnt it? lol

But in my opinion, i think that in like the 60s-70s the charger, gto, atleast overpowered the mustang because not only were the chargers built for the track (i mean, watch back in the day on the speed channel, Talledega was Chevelles, novas chargers etc...) and i mean come on, ne one see the episode of the dukes of hazard where the General Smoked that mustang? plus the new GTO has was 5.9L (or something? !!IM NOT SURE!!) the Mustang (GT) still has a 4.6L doesnt it? and well... the new Charger... it just sucks... i mean who wants a sedan dodge charger with a fancy daytona paint job and a nice german traction control?

but now.. i would like to talk about a serious subject... there are millions of stray cats and dogs roming the streets today... so please.. do your part and have your pets spayed and neudered..

The price is right, BITCH


Point is. Ford needs to find the ***** it grew when it built the GT and sew it back on. The Mustang needs more cubes, and Ford needs another flagship. I say bring back a middle sized block and go for it. 351-400ci mod motor would rock, keep the 5.4L V8s, and and actually do something that is gonna yield numbers. Small motors are dandy and all, but they just dont have it from the factory like something with some cubes to play with does. My $.02, Ford needs to get off of its ***.

i hope your not referring to the 351/400 modified engines because they sucked *** and were far worse than the 360/390 they replaced.

couldn't keep bottom ends in the damn things and they used bigblock heavy *** C6 trannies.

their only plus was their heads

wow.. ford does NOT need more cubes or power... thats a big part in why they never stopped production of the mustang like every other car.. the mustang sells a LOT of v6's, and they sell a lot of gts, they dont want their gt's power monsters becasue honestly they just wont sell as good, thats why they have their cobra, if people want a powerful moster stang they get the cobra. ford is very smart with the mustang and i dont expect to ever see huge cubes or major power in a gt.

and you guys..this is a tech forum, talking about bob baker, whispering to a girlfriend, and pets neutered belongs in off topic.

That's true, but the new base model V6 is gonna have around 260 BHP, so that gives you a pretty good idea as to where Fords going. However, they are gonna put that new system in when in regular driving you run on 4 cylinders, but in WOT it kicks into all 8, not sure if it's gonna be done on the V6 or not.
