I like my Mustang GT but I can't say my motor is better than a GM LS2. Or even an older LS1/LS6 for that matter.

But the three valve 4.6 is a step in the right direction, however there still is no replacement for displacement and the GM LSx engines have that in spades.

Great find Mark!! Glad to see the 4.6L get some love. Also agree with the 2.3L Turbo from the Mazdaspeed 6

For what it's worth, I had a 99 F150 with the "Ward's award winning 5.4 engine" which had bad head gaskets. I sure hope my 06 GT fares better.

It was also on last year's Wards top ten (see previous post, Dec 04).

Two years in a row...

I can see that. Lots of technology and lots of power.

....and all for a reasonable price.
