Incorrect. Common misconception, though. The Mayan calendar ends in 2012. It ends in 2012 because their calendar was based on astrological measurements and calculations. 2012 is simply the end of the astrological age of Pices, which just so happens to be the little fish that Cristians put on their trunklids and crap. It's like the Y2K thing, really.....

yeah, just that i'd throw that out there. theres some documentary that plays on the discovery channel that claims all that nonsense.
the only reason i even know about that is cause me and my wife went to the riviera maya on our honeymoon and went on a tour of the mayan city, Chichen Itza. interesting stuff non the less.
Ford's got that Displacement On Demand technology coming too...thought I read it was gonna be in the '09 Mustangs. Maybe they've changed their mind about that in the past few months, but I could've sworn I saw that mentioned.
I agree with acascianelli - I think power is power. If they increase power levels over the V8, what is the difference in how it makes it.

I thought that was the Ichthys.... based on the way of comminucating with other Christians in a time when Romans were killing them. A person would draw an arc in the sand or dirt when talking, then if the other person crossed it, it was to show they were a Christian as well. ????
You are correct. I should have explained myself a little better. Pisces is latin for fish. The Ichthys is Greek in origin and is depicted as a fish representing Christ, which is explained in the acronym. Translated it means Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Our Savior. It has some ties into Pisces of astronomy in some form, but it's been a little while since I've really into this stuff. I used to do a lot of reading on stuff like that. I forget their relation, but I know it's not significant. And I'm too lazy to try to find it, so I'll give this discussion a rest

Thats the only reason I am worried about the death of the v8 in the future. There's nothing like that sound...

Sounds like something a guy that drives a Civic would say..
A Civic that'd put a beating on a 'Stang w/ a set of Blowmasters.....
This is a Mustang forum for a reason, because we prefer V8 muscle cars over 4 cylinder pussy cars. No offense to 4 cylinder drivers, but we live for the sound of a V8.

1) Mustangs are not muscle cars.
2) You've obviously never come across an Evo or STi if you claim a car to be a pussy just because it has 4 cylinders.
Mustang forum it may be, that doesn't give one the right to be a narrow-minded assh0le....

1) Depends on your point of view. Fact remains: The current mustang will outperform just about anything from the "first muscle car era"
But do you want to compare the two? No...
I therefore say this is the second muscle car era, or the dawn of it anyway. We have a little while before we will see Challengers and Camaro's on the road. Which makes the mustang a muscle car indeed.
2) They still sound nothing like a V8. Although the rumble of a flat four is something that warms my heart too... But that's mainly because of the old aircooled VW beetles...
And I still don't like the whole boy ricer type with the reverse cap you tend to find sitting inside said vehicles.
I have always seen the Mustang name as a muscle car. With that said, I think the muscle should stay v8. But again everyone has their own opinion and I personally would just like to see the v8 stick around. Any on the v8 vs. v4 power potential... I'm sorry but have you ever seen an 8000hp v4? If you have please lemme see it cause that would blow my mind.

-The Mustang is a Pony Car, not a Muscle Car.
-Car's use I4's, not V4's.
Try again.....
