Drool @ the rendering. Looks muscular AND futuristic.

i agree, that's definitely the best rendering! ford really needs to introduce a design like that to the market, just like the fusion it would be a complete game changer as far as styling is concerned. MUCH more refined and upscale than anything else in the class.
anyone notice the trailer hitch:nonono:
It's just a test mule so you'll see all kinds of weird stuff on it still. What's important in these pics is the view of the engine and engine compartment.
If it looks like that rendering. I'll buy 2
Which render?
That looks like a camaro.
They will probaby make a 281 4v. They seem to go back and forth between 302 and 281. Wouldnt mind a 4.6 4v ecoboost.

This red render looks terrific. Sure hope it looks like that.
This at <3500lbs would = me having a new car note! That is by far the best "could be" pic I have seen. Don't see it happening but that is awesome.
Looks like an Aston with a Ford badge slapped on it. Not saying it's an ugly car, its just not american muscle, not a Mustang. Don't like it.
You will not see Ford use a old 4.6 is a new vehicle design ever again. This is a good thing BTW as the new 5.0's are way better motors than the old 4.6's.
Last time I checked, you CAN fit an awfully large wheel/tire combination on them..... 19-20" diameter wheels. 295-325mm tires... That's not enough tire for a Mustang? :shrug:
You want to run LT 33's or something??? :rolling:
Your trying to simplify something that's not that simple. You don't just throw some 325's on a S197 and do it all easy and care free and then it looks ugly with a tire bulging out the side of the car. Hell people also talk about fitting just a 305 on the back of one, but being Boss 302 owner you should understand that it isn't just about having big grippy rear tires.

Aside from what others have already stated note the ECT reading full Cold. This could mean the redline will rise when ECTs hit operating temp as they have in other cars ie S85 BMW M5/M6 V10, etc.
On a side note, what's up Terry! :rolling:
While I agree not probable, it's entirely possible. Similar to the 7.0L Z06 vs the 6.2L ZL-1. The extra meat between bores in the 281 vs 302 helps sealing especially when paired with factory FI.

The 4.6 aluminum block is no longer produced and I don't see them going to a heavy cast iron block just so they can go backwards in engine design.
If anything they'll simply strengthen the Coyote.
