I would be shocked if the redline was anywhere near that high. The 2.0 in the Focus ST is 6500. I can't imagine the 2.3 being too much higher than that.
They put a smaller turbo in the ecoboost engines so it spools up faster. The downside of that is that it runs out of breath earlier. You see the same thing in the Mazda turbo which I had in my CX-7. It doesn't have a crazy high redline and the power really starts to drop off well below the redline anyway.

If there going to drop Shelby for sure, and roush keeps making there version. What is really going to be the difference between roush and some new cobra. Roush already upgrades the suspension and throws a supercharger on it. I would think svt would do pretty much the same thing. Unless the cobra has a bigger motor they might be almost identical to each other. Anyone have thoughts on this?

The Shelby is always way out front with the hp numbers. What I mean is if the 5.8 won't fit anymore we're going to have god knows how many versions of the 5.0 with different superchargers slapped on it. I just don't want to see roush, steeda, ect, and the cobra so close in numbers. You would think svt would have to make a new motor so there is still a decent gap of hp between them.

Ya I think the prices are going to start getting out of hand. They kinda are already. I guess will just have to wait and see. I wonder if roush and them are going to wait a year or so to do there version of the new car.

They get a car early. And usually have something at the same time.

Don't worry. The trinity engine will live on for a short while more and later SVT will use the flat plane V-8 Voodoo engine. Saleen and Roush will just be supercharged 5.0s with badges. Believe me it was EZ to make one!
