Again how is not wanting a v6 in a muscle car closed minded? No one is debating that a v6 can make power. Anything can make power. Hell there are motorcycle engines putting down over 500rwhp. Does that mean we should put one in a muscle car???????
Its funny how some ppl are closed minded.
So if this engine is doing this thru an AWD set-up don't you think the WHP will increase in a RWD set-up. The engine is not being pushed past the turbos limits either. This isn't what Ford has claimed, this is from what a guy who bought the car has done. Ford has tested this engine up to 500hp safely too. So I guess I don't understand what you mean by "the claim doesn't hold up to what i said"
I'm not following what you are talking about and pretty sure you are not understanding what I wrote.
I said High HP, Horsepower! You posted track times?
The track times you posted do not suggest that is a High HP car. Now high HP may mean something totally different to someone else, I'm guessing it means more than stock to you. It it a moot point but if you want to back up your claim that it can make "high horsepower" then you need more than just a 12second 1/4 time!
It doesn't matter if the engine has been tested to 500hp when you don't know when the turbos are capable of.
I don't follow your logic. For a 4400# car to go 12's in the 1/4 it would need about 420 WHP +/-. If you put that same motor in a 3600# car you would probably be in the 11's.
Also, the car he was talking about is AWD, which means more drive train loss. There would probably be even more WHP if it was a RWD car.
I don't think I would be ashamed to drive a V6 that could pull those numbers.
Again you are in the same boat as in big numbers only mean slightly more than stock. I know what big numbers are and know what it takes to make big numbers on a DI turbo car. I never said it wasn't impressive!
But IMO a DI turbo Mustang is not impressive! Good thing they are only rumors.

LMAO......so what do you consider big numbers.
500whp+, almost double the power!
LMAO at the thought of you thinking it is that easy to make 500hp just because Ford has tested the motor to that. When you know about turbo flow charts and HPFP then you can say "the engine is not pushing past the turbos limit"
I know plenty about building and tuning turbo engines. Just face it. The numbers aren't what you are against it's the use of the Ecoboost in the Mustang.
I realize that, I was referring to when he said he would take an ecoboost over a 79' 302.
Forgive me if I dont read all pages but whats wrong with a Turbo V6 .. ever hear of a Buick GNX..one of the baddest cars out there .. and with a Turbo you can always .....UPGRADE .. if $$$$ were the same .. sigh me up for one ....
The ecoboost v6 is a very nice engine and has potential but again why put a v6 when you can put in a 5.0l v8?
Not everyone wants to go the forced induction route. The heads/cam crowd will not enjoy the sound of a cammed v6 mustang.

Somebody needs to make a pole on the various reasons why ppl wont wanna buy a v6 vs v8.
To me, a Mustang is about V8 growl, and torque.
The V6 has plenty Torque:
Taurus Sho - 365HP/350TQ
Mustang GT - 315HP/325TQ
I'm just saying...
I'm sure with the right exhaust you could make just about anything sound pretty dang good.
By the way, the max HP comes on about 500 RPM sooner and the max TQ about 750 RPM sooner in the SHO. The Mustang would be about 1000lbs lighter, give or take, than the SHO. It is more than likely it will be RWD not AWD. That all equates to at least 1 second faster than the SHO (1/4 mile).
It is very likely that an EcoBoost Mustang (stock) would SPANK the current GT (stock). I think that's why a lot of people are against it.
