The GTR has a V6 that makes 480+hp. its not impossible.

These engines would be going into the newest body style Mustangs, correct? This isn't about some 2015 MY or anything...

Not at all. Ford will never win a hp war with gm, mainly because of the reason that there are 3 more motors that are not going ( or haven't ) been put in the camaro, which are alot more powerful then the regular LS3 or L99.

( LS7, LSA, LS9 ).

505, 556, 638.

But hey, the camaro deserves a little competition!

oh yeah almost forgot, the cts-v is priced in the low 60's and is a cadillac. that tell you anything about how much a camaro that would match the gt500's (45-$60,000) performance would cost?

the GTR'S motor is hand built and comes wrapped up in an $80,000 package.

reality

But I also think this whole arrangment will turn out different from what's expected. That article was about the F-150, and they mentioned the Mustang in passing. It might happen, just not the way some are expecting.

Historically, Ford has always shared the 4.6 between the F150 and the Mustang, so I'd have to assume that if one has something the other will too. It cuts down on production costs big time to have one v8 to produce instead of both the 5.0 Coyote and the 4.6.

I'm looking forward to this interesting development. It looks like Ford doesn't want to give the top spot to the Camaro after all.

As I've said many times, competition benefits all of us no matter what your brand preference is.

It's winning it right now with the 2010 GT500. GM needs to step up and give us a Z28. At some point. Right now I don't think it's a feasible option given their delicate financial status.

True. But then you have to remember that gt500 sales aren't that great. That's why GM wouldn't want to waste money they don't have on a high performance pony car, that most likely wouldn't make them a whole lot of $.

You see, comparing a car that starts at 43 grand with one that starts at around 31 makes no sense to me.

GM doesn't have the money right now. That doesn't mean they aren't capable.

its kind of like kick boxing against a guy with a peg leg that's missing his arm and is in a wheelchair.

I think you guys are forgeting that the aftermarket is going to jump all over the Ecoboost in a similar fashion like the Supra!! Don't be surprised when 600hp TT Mustangs start showing up on the street and the track. It is extremely easy to get waaaaaaay more Hp and Tq by simply turning up the boost.

*Milk 1027* · 01-20-2009, 08:56 PM

I still don't understand why you guys are demanding a Z28. I never said anything about a Z28. What I said was that GM can still add more horsepower to the current LS3, in order to compete with the 2011 Mustang. It would be a smarter idea seeing the economic status they are in.

Oh nooo...not another Z28 thread

They could but you have to think. The things they would remove in order to take off weight would be things that pertain to safety regulations.
