[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 9039166, member: 87570"] I'm all for progress, but if it's the 5 liter, count me out. We're already down almost a liter to the GM cars (6.2 vs. 5.4). If we shrink any more, we'll really have trouble keeping up with a tuned Z-28 on pump gas. Sure, we'll be okay stock for stock, and at the racetrack on 120 octane, but the typical 'bolt on' street car on pump gas will have a power ceiling well below the bigger cube GM. Unfortunately CAFE standards may force Ford into a 'smaller' engine for the GT500 / Cobra.:nonono: The bright side is: a 5.0 GT500 would definately handle better! Now throw some 4V heads on the an aluminum version of the 6.2L Boss, along with a factory blower, and I would find no reason to complain. [/QUOTE]
