    More info on the 4.0 V6?

    According to the pictures of the article in Hot Rod Magazine, it's going to have 202hp and 235lb/ft of torque, with the base weight being a bit under 3300lbs. That should get it moving pretty nicely and lightly modded will be a close match for the earlier SN95 GTs. Looks like Ford really...

    V6 gets 202/235 hp/tq from the 4.0 SOHC V6 motor. Weight is listed as "less than 3300lbs" for the V6, and "less than 3450lbs" for the GT. I do wish Ford would give the GT a T56 at least as an option instead of just the 3650, because that engine could really benefit from the gearing of a...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    It doesn't take much at all for the radiator to bump the front accessories even on a V6 (which has a rediculous amount of room to spare). The frame doesn't have to get bent for that to happen. When everything gets compressed, that free space is going to go bye-bye very quick. I can convert...

    Well, looks like I have a goal now - save up enough to be able to afford an 05 Mustang GT by the fall. That car is sooo sexy. *dry hump*

    '05 Mustang GT HP#'s from MotorTrend

    What GM car are you talking about PonyGrl? The only thing GM has at the same price point is... oh wait, they don't have anything there.

    Bolt-on dyno test in side

    They should've bolted each on seperately for the dyno tests, because compound gains aren't terribly useful when judging individual parts. For example, when using aftermarket headers on a (mostly) stock car, you're going to lose power, but after doing the nitrous and MAF, you are gaining power...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    Uh.. I'm well aware of the fact that 351ci is 5.8L. I have no idea what you were replying to by telling me this.... Making headers for a V10 is not necessarily as simple as adding a pipe to each V8 header. Heads are a lot tougher to do (not that there's much of an aftermarket to build off...

    Ok, what's with the headlights?

    Good grief. Why don't you wait until we get actual final pictures of the car before you start ripping on little details. These are renderings done by the community based on the spy pics we have available. They should be taken as general ideas of the final design of the car, but specific items...

    "Ricer" writes a letter to Car Craft...must read

    Ford's new 4.6 3V SOHC engine with VVT sure seems a lot more high tech and innovative than anything I've seen ricer's doing. It's a very advanced, high-tech engine, and puts Honda's 4cyl VTEC (even i-VTEC) engines to shame.

    Questions about cobra motors...

    Stangparts (www.stangparts.com) has a couple of '03 engines under well $10k.

    "Ricer" writes a letter to Car Craft...must read

    There are three paths to power: Displacement - V8's use this of course RPM's - high-revving rotary and 4cyl engines make use of this a lot Compression - turbo, supercharger, nitrous, and diesel engines all use increased compression My ideal motor would be a 10.0L turbo diesel w/ 100PSI...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    A 5.0 V12? I'd love to see it happen, perhaps as a $65,000 'R' model with a pure racing suspension, and weight reduction down to below 3000lbs. THAT would be a sweet Mustang.

    I want to know what type of fuel tank (and placement) the new Mustang has. With the mufflers out back, the fuel tank can't be in the usual place, so I guess Ford decided to nix that safety problem. Is it in the same location as the Lincoln LS (and where is that)?

    Favorite Mustang

    The 10.0L BOSS Mustang would be awesome to have. That thing was barely optimized, yet it did 0-60 in 1.9 seconds and had a 10.xx 1/4 time. Build it up really carefully with a solid bottom end and put nitrous on it... 7 second 1/4 mile here we come, while still being streetable (barely)

    Geo Prizm!?!?!?!

    A V6 Mustang is not a sports car. It may be "sporty", but it's not powerful enough nor does it have the handling to call it a sports car. Don't feel bad losing a race or not being able to keep up with an old piece of junk. The important thing is if you like your car -- then it really...

    Are we bad people?

    He has the right to say what he likes. We have the right to disagree or to simply ignore him. I do agree he's being a hypocrite, but that is true of almost everybody at some point or another.

    Ford strives to give SVT models upscale image

    Turbo Focus? Give it 240hp, and you'll get respect. 200hp isn't going to get much attention. The S/C Marauder should have been like that from the factory if ya ask me, but it'll be nice if they finally do it. If SVT is going up-scale, does that mean the SVT Mustang is going to be in...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    I'm quite sure the aluminum block would not have survived the kind of abuse that a lot of '03 owners have put their engines through. SVT went with the iron block specifically because they knew that owners were going to mod it, and while it could've held 390hp or a bit more just fine with alu...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    The F-150 will never have a V10 as a base motor, or even an option. You want tons of power, you get a diesel motor, because V10's simply don't sell due to horrendous fuel economy. Those big engines, however, are for the SuperDuty trucks, the F-250 and F-350. I haven't heard any of these "bad...

    Would you rather the '06 Cobra have a S/C V8 or V10?

    The V10 might be an interesting option for a Shelby car, but let's keep the SVT Cobra a V8. I don't really care what Shelby does, because I think he's a worthless sellout who should've retired awhile ago...
