    swapping 07 v6 to a v8

    Not trying to be an ass here, but if you have to ask that question, you don't need to undertake this project. So many things need to be swapped, it's not as easy as an older mustang. I wouldn't even think of doing it. Forget what's needed. You can go out and buy a slightly used GT (05-09 dirt...

    2010 Camaro

    As far as I can remember, the Shelby and the Lightning only saw the SC 5.4.

    2010 Camaro

    Ok. If you're done then. Look back and tell me that GM has never offered a motor in the Camaro that has more HP than the base vette. Come on. These are 2 different playing fields. Go over to any vette forum and see if you can find anyone willing to trade their vette in on a new z28. Few and...

    2010 Camaro

    Sorry bud, you're not quite right on that one. The ZR1 is the current flagship of the Vette. Not to mention another gap soon to be filled by the reincarnation of the Grand Sport. if you're worried about status and HP, then there you go. About 630ish hp. Top of the line maro vs top of the line...

    My GT500 is rusting and Ford doesn't care

    I have no idea. And I can't figure it out either. But my hood is rusting too. Haven't gotten it fixed yet. Probably just going to buy a hood from cervinis.

    6-speed Powershift

    That was just from a performance take of it. These transmissions can actually shift as fast as 8 milliseconds. These are far more efficient than standard autos, they have less parasitic loss and therefore can help return better fuel economy. So in case you don't get it, this is a better deal...

    2010 Camaro

    Are you talking about Ford? Ford GT. Priced way way over the Z06. I understood it. You're acting like it's better just because it has more hp, I get your point from previous posts, but as you've said the weight is a pretty big factor in today's cars. I think they are just trying to get the...

    2010 Camaro

    Still doesn't matter. The weight and the frame off the C6 Z06 is something the camaro could never dream about. The Z06 would still walk circles around the Z28 and laugh while doing so. I think the Z06 is just in a whole different playing field. I would rather compare the base C6 to a Z28...and...

    6-speed Powershift

    Yeah I think that's the case as well. This is one of those changes I think are way overanalyzed. The DSG trans is faster than any person could ever hope to shift anyway. 50ms from a DSG and 500ms from a human is quite a difference.

    2010 Camaro

    If this is the same setup as the Caddy CTS-V, then the homework has already been done. It's just a matter of building a few in the camaro. Actually, it's a damn good idea to start up selling the maro. The mustang crowd had it's fair share of suckers paying WAY WAY over sticker for shelby's...

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    Hey now it's been 60 degrees for a few days now. :D A split 35/65 - or better yet, an active management system that allows 100% rear power until it senses slipage, then engages 50/50 is a cool thought, but it seems to just be pie in the sky for a few. I really doubt the AWD will ever come to...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    This says it all from them.... "No real details are given on the new turbocharged, direct injection mill..." Ford confirms (again) EcoBoost engine for F-150 lineup — Autoblog Then, states the ecoboost will go along side the V8 option here....remember they make a V6 F150 right now...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    I'm sure they are talking about the sedans. Not the Mustang. And this being an American issue, I can tell you the V8 trucks won't be going anywhere soon either. Actually, I'll put a large wager on that bet. :nice:

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. And I'm sure you are going to be paying about $40k for that new 5.0 as well. I think it's going to take another massive economic downturn, and I mean more than what's happening now, to lead Ford away from the tried and true GT V8.

    AWD EcoBoost Mustang in 2012???

    EcoBoost gets a vote. AWD does not. Like what's been said, it is going to take a major revamp of the mustang platform to get it to work right. It simply wasn't designed with that in mind. Also, this being an "economical" sports car, I don't think ford would put in premium parts to outlast...

    Bugs bug me

    Don't let them roast on your car for a few weeks and then try to clean it afterwards. The longer they sit, the harder they are to get off and more likely they'll eat your clear. Don't wash it everyday, but try to wash it regularly.

    Notching the shock towers

    What?!? You filled the holes?!? How you gonna get to the plugs now?!? :rlaugh: :rlaugh: :rlaugh: It seems oh9mustang is littering every section of the forum. Just ignore him. Those are some pretty shock towers. Can't decide what I want to do with mine yet. I'd have to pay someone to weld...

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    Your opinion has been noted. And you are definitely a cylinder snob, but I doubt I needed to tell you that. Sad to think there are so many here that bring the name and brand down. Oh well, back to the classics!!!:shrug:

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    Wow. I believe you. Had a friend who had geico insurance and he gets dicked around all the time on claims and supposed coverage. I guess it depends on your package, but the big 3 insurance suppliers all care what kind of motor and HP your vehicle has. I've checked with all of them. For my wife...

    Are we cylinder snobs?

    I have NEVER heard that from ANY insurance company. Period. What insurance do you have, assuming it's real? Mine was going to be about a $50ish/month difference. I'm 26 and married.
