interesting eh?

 

at least it'll give the ppl with a 6 cyl something to look down on

 

good.

 

I try to avoid looking down on anyone for any reason. Sad for you if you feel the need to do so.
It's all a matter of choices. Some want a V6 and some want a V8. Some want a leather interior and some prefer cloth. Some prefer a manual transmission and others prefer an automatic. Be happy with your choices and respect the choices of other folks, even if they are not the right choices for you.

 

funny thing is that the turbo 4 should be faster then the 3.7 and have better tune options

 

lol... what's sad is you took that so seriously
don't really care, had a 6 and it was one of my favorite cars

 

I've seen enough V8 vs V6 comments that unless it is obviously tongue in cheek I assume it is serious. My V6 is my first Mustang ever and is an awesome car.

 

I have alot of love for the v6.. my first two mustangs were sixxers

 

I'm glad this didn't turn out to be a 8v6 thread....

I'm actually excited to see what ford can do with the eco4. I'm not all that worried about MPG (right now lol) - but I am curious as to the entire layout of a eco4, how much lighter will it be, how much torque will they pull out of it. I expect it to be at least as fast as current v6, maybe faster, and with a new rear end, it could be a monster auto-x machine.... especially if they make a AWD version at some point.

 

they will never do a awd version. If its anything like my focus ST(and it is) the mpg wont be amazing, but within reason.

The focus ST makes 252 hp and 270 tq. So power out of a turbo 2.3 shouldnt be an issue. The sct tune for the focus ST as 23 hp and 45 tq and even more power with a cai combo.

 

I still don't get how ecoboost is a premium upgrade. Can't stand the throttle lag. Drove a new Escape and couldn't believe how it took 3 seconds to start gaining after I floored it.

 

thats why autos are not as fun as sticks when it coems to turbo cars.

 

With it being turbocharged I suspect they will get some serious torque out of it. I doubt that it will be a WHOLE lot lighter than the V6. What's the weight difference between the V6 and the V8?

 

TY all for not making it a 6 vs 8 thread.. Getting tired of those since 2006..

this was my last one.. Loved it..

 

you mean since 1965

 

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
now that's crossing the line

 

now a awd focus RS.. splosh!

 

Interesting, Id roll with it, but i do like my v8 more. I personally would like to see v6, ecoboost i4, V8 GT, V8 Ecoboost, 5.8l shelby. but hey, twin turbo coyote is just a dream unless you do it aftermarket.

 

in '83-'84 they had a 4cyl turbo GT

 

i think i'll believe it when i see it. i remember back when the original S197 was released, everyone was speculating on what would power the SVT variant. i remember one magazine nearly sounded positive on a 450+hp DOHC S/C'd 4.6L. as we all know that turned out to be a 475hp DOHC S/C'd 5.4L that later got bumped up to 500hp.
