Something tells me you have a large insect in your tailpipe.

Sorry for making you type all that out, Dixie. I was being facetious. I know the expression, "pot calling the kettle black."

I think Boomer's point is that moving forward, Ford wants their cars to lose weight across the board. That's why we won't see a 6.2L "Boss" under the hood of the Mustang, especially when the 5.0L is supposedly just as potent of a package. It's also the reason the GT500 is rumored to be receiving an AL-block Condor come MY 2011.

I don't understand why people want to attack our sole source of inside information.

I certainly took it to be facetious, it was a fun challenge to paraphrase the expression. The Ambrose Bierce in me was clawing its way out through my keyboard or something.

Yeah, I think Boomer and the other in the know people here are great, it's awesome being able to keep hope alive for another fantastic V8 powered Mustang before the EVs and California take over the world. Also good to know Ford has people in it who care about us enthusiasts.

I welcome EV's and Hybrids. Buy more of those people!

That just means more gas for us V8 Mustang drivers to use.

I was thinking more along part numbers and such and any FRPP goodies meant for the 6.2. Should have clarified.

Upgrades are also in store for the Mustang GT, which Ford plans to introduce in January at the Detroit auto show."
No GT/Coyote info means I won't have to bother stopping at the Ford display at the LA Auto Show.

Take it from a native Californian--we don't want to take over the world. We just want the state back the way it was when I was a kid. There were V8 Mustangs all over the place then where Priuses roam today. Many of the problems being caused in our state are from outsiders who arrive with a holier-than-thou attitude. They want green this and green that while living in housing that covers what used to be open space. My $.02 for the day.

Ah, the California of yore...





I'll bet a lot of California natives are pretty appalled at how things have become due to all those holier-than-thou outsiders.

to paraphrase perhaps a bit more succinctly ... hypocrisy ?

lol,

Besides, there are no "native Americans". American Indians came here by the way of Asia. DNA proves this. I was born in California and am as much a "native Californian" as the old woman posted above.

Not necessarily. It's also highly possible they migrated north from South America.

What does this have to do with the 5.0 Mustang again?

Yeah how did we go from a 400hp 5.0 V8 to a bash California thread.

That does strike at the heart of the matter.





My Dad always said Californians were touchy about where they came from, I thought it was his usual hyperbole. Wow what a pot to stir!


SuperSugeKnight: I was going to try to redirect back on topic... but take a look at the thread title again. This has had as much to do with the coyote as it was begun as.
