Something somewhat new to discuss...

Honestly, I don't think it's worth the manufacturing costs to Ford. Granted, I'm ignorantly speaking of company finance but I don't think it makes sense to keep it. If the ecoboost can be produced at a relatively low cost, why maintain the V6 in the line-up?
And an EcoBoost V6, a TTV6, eh... again, not needed.
As far as the hole goes... 100-120hp hole? Ford's done it in the past, why worry about it now? I don't think there's a group going around saying... man, I wish I had a Mustang that had 380-410 horsepower and was not a turbo-i4 or a NA-V8. Also, I don't want to mod a eco-friendly car to around 400 horsepower. V6 or die!
I'll always state (I hope I always do at least) that it should be:
Eco-4, 5.0L GT, SE-GT, and/or just SE-Top of the line
And an EcoBoost V6, a TTV6, eh... again, not needed.

As stated above I don't think a 3.5TT is need to "bridge" a gap, but may be produced as a SE. The 5.0 isn't being raced or developed currently and FMC/Roush Yates have developed a 3.5 TT, so if (big IF) their is a Mustang raced in GT2 as a semi factory effort, I think it will have a 3.5TT . . . . could be way off base though . . . wouldn't be the first time.

there is going to be a very hefty gap in performance.

Same picture, but different article, I promise.

You posted the same article link twice in the same thread.
Enough with the click-bait.
Sum Up - there may or not be. We don't know.
Exactly what's posted in this thread.

Chill man, this is the first time I've ever written an article EVER and no-body had a comment on it. The original post was not my article. I did post my response to the original article twice because I wanted to get some feedback. I've been around and don't post too often. I figured you'd prefer that than me starting ANOTHER new thread about my response article.
Can't blame a guy for being a little excited that he was asked to write something that got published and then wanted a little feedback/discussion on it.
EDIT: I couldn't care less about number of hits or anything of the such, if that's what you were thinking.
