heck, even Range Rovers now have 4 cylinder ecoboost engines. (the new wildly successful, Motor Trend "SUV of the year" Evoque)

Considering CAFE requirements, it makes sense.

 

I'd rather see a Shelby GT200 first

 

Unless it has 302, 351 or 429 its name, don't bother calling it a Boss. Save the boosted engines for SVT

 

I want to see a v6 get some boost

 

Yeah, the V6 EcoBoost is starting to look underpowered.

For 2012-2013 the standard 3.5L is putting out 290 hp and with direct injection and twin-turbocharging it's only putting out 365?

That needs to change. UPWARD

It should be a 400+ hp engine

But where would that leave the 5.0 ? It would need to become at least a 450-hp engine, maybe closer to 475, to still be offered.

Would direct injection and some re-tuning make that happen ?
I doubt it.

But a complete EcoBoost lineup might make sense in the coming years ... a 2.0-2.5 EcoBoost 4-cyl with ~300 hp, a 3.5 EcoBoost V6 with 400-425 hp and a 5.0 EcoBoost V8 with 500-550 hp.

Then the SVT 5.8 with "over 600hp"



.

 

I'd rather see a smaller v8 with twin turbos.
4-5L would kick some serious tail.

 

Shut the front door

 

That is funny. But "GT200" just doesn't roll off the tongue...

How about GT200KR?

 

An Eco-Boss of sorts?

 

How is this post related to this thread?

That could be a Shelby with an EcoBoost 2.0 and 20" wheels

 

instead of saying "shut the eff up"

 

Thing you have to relize with the 3.5. ecoboost.. yes its only 365hp, but has 425trq in the f-150 version, so wont be hard to tweek it for more power.

The major downfall of ALL ecoboost engines right now is the ECU us encrypted and no one has cracked it yet... so not very mod friendly

 

It could happen, heres a leaked pic of the eco Shelby.

 

Bet she runs faster than that thing behind her!

 

When the ecu can be programmed, the sky is the limit with ecoboost.

 

Torque>HP

 

A new SVO would make way more sense than an Ecoboosted Boss...

 

How about an EcoBoost V6 in a new Mach 1? In the early 70's the Mach 1 had twin hood scoops, so you could make a hood that pays homage to that style and the scoops could actually be functional.

 

Um how bout no... Leave the history of the old special editions alone. Keep v8s in them. If you want an Eco boost v6 mustang then start a new breed. Like a svo mustang or a mustang TT. But leave the old school type ones alone...
