Sorry,all the colors are sweet(lol, I have a Tungsten GT!), it's just for some reason the redfire and VB and black cars(with the pony pkg) stand out to me(maybe 'cause a person close to where I live just bought a redfire pp and it looks great!). [sm=icon_cheers.gif]

hell even 230hp and 270ft. lbs of torque would be great ya know
True, but then it'd be too close to the GT. Ford would need to bump up the GT's motor, maybe to that 5.4.

all ford would have top fo is do some kind of PI heads lik they did with bthe 99-04 GT's. tht would push the GT to about 340~350hp.

I wouldn't mind see those numbers at all from the V6. I'd like to see the GT go to 340-360 N/A with a model (standard) above it. Around the 380-420 range. Then the specials like the GT 500....imo

Heck don't even offer a V6 option anymore. I'd like to see a base model 4.6L V8 and a performance 5.4L V8.

yea that'd be great for sales.

i say skip the 5.4 and make the 5.0 cammer an option. The 5.4 is a heavy mother, and our cars are already little piggies. .then do some god damn weight reduction on the gt500....damn piggy.

The only problem with all this is that the government is comming down on these guys to produce 30-35 miles to the gallon. I don't see ford modding up the 6 from the factory. The days of the big HP cars are going away as long as people keep buying those ricers. That was my 2 cents not that it matters.

I'd like to see a nice Cosworth 4 valve, 2 cam per head design for the 4.0, after all they did make one for the European 2.9 (two generations or so directly back from our 4.0 in developement). Just as an aftermarket option for the track of course...
