Why does Ford give same engine for auto?
 

I have an LS3, but just curious as to why the my little pony guys get the same engine for the auto and our auto brethren get the toned down L99? Not flaming, just curious......:iono:

Fuel economy. CAFE

Cuz GM doesn't know how to properly engineer an 8cyl that works with both trannies?????

Because Manuals are better :) (for PQ)

Yeah there is that too.

Still though, why screw over a group because you can't engineer a damn motor to work both ways.

this

Its because of the AFM (active fuel management) to get the autos better gas millage.

+1...

the l99 engine is was defiantly a mistake by GM.. i mean its a good engine.. but they should have had a option where you can get a ls3 in a auto

GM does it so we don't have to pay gas guzzler tax .... After all the LS3 is available both ways on the Vette ...

Like I said CAFE. And manuals are better ;)

does the mustang auto get a tax?

Cuz Ford jsut doesn't have the money and intelligence to that!! ;)
