[QUOTE="IUP99snake, post: 8749150, member: 7060"] Aaah! You bring up a good point! They've resurrected the SHO Taurus. It would be neat for them to resurrect the SVO mustang with a turbo 4 Cyl. If ford slapped on some GT500 handling goodies such as swaybars, springs, gears, and brakes, you'd have a sweet lightweight road racing track pack. I don't think that's too likely though. They'll probably keep the V6. According to Motor Trend, the Ecoboost V6 is rumored to be a year away. However, the ecoboost V6 creates a few conflicts with the V8 mustang. 1) The ecoboost motor in the SHO taurus makes upwards of 350HP, which is more than the V8GT! Would they up the power of the GT? 2) The V8 Mustang GT gets better city/highway mileage than the "eco" boost v6. According to Motor Trend, the SHO taurus with "eco" boost gets 17/25 city/highway MPG and the Mustang GT gets 18/26 city/highway. Nevertheless, this is such an insignificant amount, and the ecoboost might have better mileage in a mustang chassis because it's lighter and more aerodynamic than a big Taurus. However, the people that buy V6's for better economy vs. the V8's would have one less reason to get the V6. It woud be funny if the "base" ecoboost V6 mustang would make more power than the GT V8 though! I don't think ford will let that happen. Homer [/QUOTE]
