So I was reading Road & Track or Car & Driver or something at the dentist office the other day and it said that all auto-manufacturers must begin complying with new laws regarding emmisions and such, and so Ford, as a result, would be required to put a more efficient engine in the GT.

They are going to put an EcoBoost twin-turbo 6 Cyl. in the GT that will have more HP than the current 4.6, I think the target date is 2012 or something. Some Ford people were quoted saying the market won't buy the switch.

So the question is....
Would you care if your GT had only 4 or 6 cyls if it was faster than your neighbors GT with 8 cyls?

Does size really matter?[8D]Why?

Sorry if this topic has been covered here 10 times, I haven't seen it.

great idea... but I love me some v8 muscle.

I say stick with the V8. But a twin turbo 6 cylinder would be bad ass.

I would not be adverse to having a TT Mustang.


As long as I also have a 454 or 429 in the garage :D

5.0L 4v mod motor

Would they really make 3 different engines in 3 years? 2010 4.6 V8, 2011 6.3 (I believe) V8, 2012 V6 TT.
Sounds like too much trouble if you ask me.

omg not this thread AGAIN [:o]the last one went on for pages and pages and pages....basically half the site is going to say that v8s are the best and the only thing they will buy, then the other half will call them dumb rednecks and post pics of porsches to show that a sixxer can be fast etc etc blah blah sixxers suck, gt people are ignorant rednecks, half the site would rock a v6 tt if its faster, the other half only want v8....

The TT V6 is undoubtedly going into production, the question is only whether or not they will put one in the GT.

Someone in the article said all the production muscle cars are going to be a thing of the past, so.... smoke 'em while you got 'em! That's why they will put out the higher output engines now while they can. And I'm sure heavy trucks and such will need to be exempt from the law because sometimes you just need more base displacement and rotational mass, yes? So they will need to keep some big V8s in production.

^^ or maybe they will switch to running inline 6 turbo diesels for trucks too eh?

and v8 ftw, thats what aftermarket companies are for...cancel the v8, find a base model stang and drop your own engine in it...problem solved

No, everybody's got the eco laws thing wrong. It's a law that makes all car manufactures to have at least 1 car with like 35mpg+ or something like that, not to kill off all 8 cylinders, if they did that no one would buy trucks and suv's b/c they'd be as slow as ****.

I would take a n/a v8 engine that makes big power over a forced induction v6 thats making the same power any day of the week....a twin turbo v6 will probably be the best it can be right out of the box...wheres the fun in that? gimmeea v8 that i can reach the sky with any day of the week

Thank you!

I'd still rather drop 1000 dollars into a TT V6 (CAI, midpipe, catback, crank the boost and get it retuned) and gain 100 whp than spend 2500 dollars on the V8 to do the same thing.

And so you don't misinterpret, I'd rather have the factory F/I motor from the factory that gets me bang/buck, which is why I also did the Termie swap.

You sir know nothing about turbocharged applications. People are using the more extreme examples of the Supras and GN's, and they work. But if you take any factory turbocharged vehicle it is childs play to get more power out of it. Bump up timing and boost, better IC, exhaust work, etc and you will see very large gains for very little $ when compared to an NA motor.

ford wont push it to its limits stock....less reliability, worse fuel economy, leaves no room for aftermarket frpp options

If they run 36 pounds of boost on a bulletproof bottom end that will rival Titan Motorsport's 8 second Supra, from the factory,then yes it might as well be.

if the stang was pushed to its max, it wouldnt have ...what? 350ish hp or something?

lol...ford would never run 36 lbs of boost in a stock car....and a tt sixxer running that much boost would have a lot more power than the projections

are we talking about the fastest and most expensive cars in the world, smart guy?
no we arent...butYOU made the bonehead statement that a car made at its potential doesnt make sense and wouldnt turn a profit...i simply pointed out what a dumb statement that was....okay smart guy?

my guess is with a sixxer and TT, they will probably push between 330-380 hp. i don't think that it will be maxed out though, i still think you will be able to **** with the boost settings and push more horsepower out of it.

i mean, they sold the terminator at its max potential, right? hgiaenkag

ORIGINAL: 99BlackPonyGT

if the stang was pushed to its max, it wouldnt have ...what? 350ish hp or something?
that would be my guess...and i would prefer a n/a v8

But the genius of a factory forced induction car, is less work tuning. Assuming Ford provides a *good* drivetrain platform, you can slap on two 50 trim snails, up the boost, tune it aggressively and have a car that makes 600whp.

Why don't they just put all that cool **** on a v8 then it would be like 4x as fast as the 4.6.......

Because making big power out of a 2.0 litre 6 banger is viable and saves gas.

Just because you throw the word "probably" in front of what you say doesn't mean you can't be wrong. Look at the 03-04 cobra or the GT500, both those cars are all out performance vehicles, but both are not running at 100% capacity. Almost no vehicles (except high end drag cars, formula 1 vehicles etc)run at 100% all the time because that is an unsustainable performance level. This means if you stay at 100% you will break something. Yes, as usual, Ford would tune the car to perform well out of the box, but some aftermarket company will undoubtably come up with a better exhaust, intake, orturbo system for the engine.

Exactly

I just read in my Car and Driver that Chevrolet is putting a 4 banger in the Camaro for a base engine. It will put out more hp than the Iroc-Z ever did. It will be a 2 liter direc-injected turbo with 260 hp. It's the same motor as the Pontiac Soltice and Saturn Sky. The 2010 Camaro will also be available with GM's direct-injected 3.6 liter V6 with 300 hp and a 6.2 liter v8 with 400 hp.

I'm with nightrunner on this one. If I was gonna buy a muscle car like the new Camaro, I'd want the 6.2 NA so I could throw a S/C on there in a few years and have a new car, fast, and sounding bad-ass.

I'm thinking the BASE Mustang should have the V6 TT! And the GT should come stock with the 5.8. And both should be under 30K!

I can dream right?

nghtrnnr - Reread what 5.0LitreSN95 said here, The part where you implied that making a well tuned high-outputV6 Gt was contradictory with the same V6 Gt still having easy room for improvement, from things like exhaust and CAI.

So when you say

I SAID FORD WILL PROBABLY PROBABLY PROBABLY tweak it as much as they can out the box

this tells methat in your opinionit will be as good as it can be from the factory, yes? But then you say later how you know it is super easy to make more power from a turbo car, implying this one would be the same. So to make more power out of the car so easily it would not be at full potential would it? It would not be "tweaked as much as it can be out of the box" I just see you contradicting yourself and then getting all hurt when called on it and then start throwing insults. When I think of full potential I think that if I bumped up the turbo 1-2psi the car would blow. Or a switch in intercoolers or exhaust would do absolutely nothing for me. Car manufacturers don't build their cars to that kind of level.


To answer the topic, I would definitely sport a V6TT, but honestly I don't ever see it as a replacement for the V8 GT. It could very well be an option, but I don't think Ford would ever completely cut the V8 out of the GT.

But no, I would never drive a 6 cylinder Mustang. That just defies everything that the Mustang is for me. It would hold no value as a car if it didn't have a V8.

Boomer Sooner

I try not to limit myself so I have the '01 GT and '08 V6. Surprisingly not a whole lot of difference in power but a pretty big difference in gas mileage. Plus I can say these new V6's are smooth and quiet. It's just as quiet as my wife 4 cyl. Honda accord. So I take the Gt with Bassani out when I feel rowdy and the new V6 most other times.
