fzust said:I would like to know the issue information on this. There is NO FREAKING WAY. Unless it was dropped out of an airplane. First off, 300HP with a 3450lb car is not going to do 10s unless it has a redickulous short-time which it won't have on stock tires.
My opinion on the GT450 is if they use the 255/45/R19s that are rumored, this heavy pig will do 0-60 in mid-high 4s and 1/4s in high 12s-low 13s. Better rear rubber will help this dramatically.

Also the current cobra runs high 12's low 13's with 390 and this engine is the same as the ford GT but supposedly running 8.5lbs of boost instead of 12.5
I think that may be changing, as a Eaton Roots blower looks set to make it into production know, and as for the heads - well I didn't know Ford had released any stats for them so I don't know.kystang1889 said:those are not the only simulatities they are both 4v dohc 5.4's they use the exact same heads supercharger intakes ext. the only diff. as u mention was the alum. and cast iron blocks
kystang1889 said:the ford Gt offers more than just great power even if the egine were identical in every way, you would still not get the total perfomance of the GT
kystang1889 said:the reason it costs so much right now is because ford just spent tons of money on research and development for the engine thats all done know
I don't reckon thats the whole picture as most of the R&D will be associated with the 5.0 Cammer race engine and the s/c 4.6 Cobras and 5.4 lightenings. Thats the advantage of the modular design.kystang1889 said:the reason it costs so much right now is because ford just spent tons of money on research and development for the engine thats all done know
oh yes there is, because people will and I'm sure do pay it.MarSaleenMustan said:i highly doubt they'd charge 40K for a motor if it was only "worth"(according to your logic) around 15-20K, therese a huge discepency.... i'm basing it off the cost of the '03 cobra crate motor... it goes for around 12K, add about 5-8K for it being a 5.4 and you're within '07 cobra motor range(just an educated guess from my part), theres no way they'd charge 28K over an '03 cobra motor just because its a 5.4 aluminum block. no way.
kystang1889 said:thats not my logic at all i never said anything about what they were charging or that it was just because of a 5.4 and aluminum block i'm threw with this its like talking to a 3 yr old
03 SVT VERT said:From what I remember the Mustang Cobra's motor is closer to the motor used in pickups then to the Ford GT, but I forget which pickup exactly (be it a lightning or regular F series) Which would mean it would be less expensive to produce because it uses a lot of common high production parts.
MarSaleenMustan said:exactly, and thats why the ford Gt is more, because there was a lot more put into it other than just throwing an aluminum block and an SC
kystang1889 said:Which is why they charge so much for it b/c of the R/D coletti also said "Do you think we'd spend all this money on R/D and only use it on one car" they are detuneing it so its not the same b/c belive it or not most consumers are not like us, and will not mod there vehicle
Aerosi665 said:Echo it's actually not possible for you to spin the left rear tire, the v6 mustang does not come with (at least never has in the past) a traction-lock. This means that all the power from the engine is delivered straight through the 7.5" rear end to only the right (passenger) rear tire.
<-- Used to own a v6.
