I guess because for the time, the 04 Mach 1 had a completely different engine with 300 HP compared to the stock 04 GT with 260. Seems to me Ford should do more than just tweek the stock GT engine for an SE. Small horsepower improvements on the same engine used to be common practice for an upcoming model year.

 

The bottom line is no one knows for sure what level of performance will be on the poroduction version. All we have so far are hints, guesses, and expert opinions which do not amount to facts.

 

Do you really own a Civic Si George? Or is that Jesters car.

 

It's a 4-door.

Oopsy.

 

I wonder if the "editing" had anything to do with Carroll Shelby's admission of borrowing ( ) the King of the Road name from the then proposed Corvette 427 King of the Road and bragging about it?



Very original.

 

FORD showed this engine (or very similar) in Tulsa last year at the Mid-America Shelby show. 4.6L DOHC in concept form, I can upload pictures if anyone wants.

 

Uplaod away. I'd like to see them.

 

The Corvette 427 would have been better suited for that name. Its no secret that Carroll stole the name from Chevy..so why the editting by Amy B?

 

what did the post say before the edit?

 

I didn't see it. I was just going by what george said.

 

No big deal. I was just being showered with compliments and good wishes.

 

AGAIN...? You're such a brown-noser, George.

 

Agreed. I actually find is a pretty interesting story. And arguably the real 'king of the road' at that time had been built by Carroll Shelby's crew, although it had already left production and wasn't the car to wear that moniker.

 

I should have guessed that.

 

so you two have kissed and made up?

 

Of course! Where am I?

 

obviously the one on the left, looks like the one on the right can't handle her high octane very well
