Yes small plans can change suddenly without telling the public but a change in plans on which motor and drive train they are using doesn't. Changes such as these take a long time to actually implement and can't be changed on a whim. syr74 is simply using that as an excuse to cover the fact that he was talking out of his a$$ and didn't know what he was talking about.

Remember those fanbois I was talking about? You know, it's a shame too. To be blunt these are the kinds of guys who give particular brands a bad name, more concerned with trying to look right than with trying to be right. The saddest part of all is that they don't learn anything in the process.
Reminds me of the last time I went to the Buick National's in Bowling Green. I was filling up my car at a fuel station not far from the Drury Inn where I was staying and noticed a gorgeous GNX filling on the other side. I struck up a conversation, quickly discovering that this was a real, street driven GNX which gave me enormous respect for the guy, only to be interrupted by part of the local Corvette mafia. Included in the mix were a C5 Z06, a C4 ZR1, and a couple of other 'plain jane' cars.
At first I thought they might be as enamored as I was, but that impression was quickly fixed and these guys promptly started trashing the guy and his car....had I not been there I honestly wonder if they might not have gotten just a little physical, they were that obnoxious. I was amazed, two brands of muscle...but both were GM....and here are the Corvette guys effectively eating their own if we are talking about this from a corporate standpoint.
More or less the same here. I've addressed this issue already, the motor employed in the 2010 Mustang GT did not change.....the hp rating they applied to it did. Whether the engine genuinely underperformed during SAE certification or if Ford simply decided that the high rating was pushing it too hard I cannot say. It is pretty obvious that your hot button is simply that you don't want to believe me which leaves no time or reasoning for whether or not you actually believe me.
Frankly, makes no difference to me either way. There are always people like you on every fansite, I knew i would run into them here just like everywhere else.
