400HP in the lightweight body of a Mustang??? That should be enough to beat the current Camaro's 0-60 times..

None.

And even if it is true, the Mustangs are going to be devishly disappointed when

A) It's near the top end of the power it can make (not much room to grow)
B) It must have 93 Octane.
C) It gets heavier and much more expensive.

Someone find a source other than LLN, we've already concluded those guys spin stories.

cool, I wish they would have stayed with the 5.0 anyway

With its aluminum block, it should be notably lighter than the current V8,

for anyone to lazy to read the article that is a key sentence

Ok.

A and B) It's a N/A 5.0L, which means it's going to have to be considerably high c/r to achieve those numbers...or high revving...both of which will mean it's going to be heavily tuned (expensive to engineer) and probably require high octane. It also means unless it is direct injection (is it?) it's not going to handle very much boost without lowering the c/r (decreasing the factory numbers back down to normal in the first place).

C) If you actually belive a new car cna come out without weighing more and being more expensive then you are in the same pipedream that Camaro owners were before the numbers were released on our car.

Better than LLN. I'll concede for now, but I'm still not 100% convinced yet. I reserve that right as a Camaro fanboy.

your just scared. and yes it will be more expensive. top of line GT will likely be 35k instead of 33k. wooopy doo.

we finally have a good competition on our hands muscle car fans!! Looks like both of us will be kicking challenger srt8 ass!

no one says it wont have a high cr....so does the camaro and challenger...they arent made for high boost fi...like the gt500 is....the fact is the car will reach challenger and camaro numbers and probably beat it...highcompression or not,

comiskeybum · 05-18-2009, 03:52 PM

the article also mentioned "the inevetible day which the ecoboost also makes it wasy into the mustang"

so if you drive a mustang v6 you will kick camaro and challenger asses

comiskeybum · 05-18-2009, 03:53 PM

and dont you need 93 octange in the new SS ? or no?
