[QUOTE="svtsmo, post: 9121260, member: 46029"] i hope your right. but if theres one thing i've learned from ford, it's waiting until it's on the showroom floor before getting my hopes up. my take on it is this- without DI, i see the new GT being around 385hp/tq. and here's why: 1. it leaves enough room between the GT and Shelby to have some type of special edition with more than just an intake and exhaust. 2. i just have a hard time believing that ford will make that kind of hp jump with the GT. 3. a rating in the area of 385 would shine a better light on their ecoboost line of engines. since the marketing for those is based on v6 economy with v8 performance, keeping the power levels within an arms length gives the ecoboost more credibility, while also giving the mustang and it's new v8 the respect of still having more power than a v6 powered taurus. 4. hp levels can only get so high, and ford KNOWS it doesn't need the mustang to be the hp king to outsell its rivals i hope i'm wrong, but thats just my take [/QUOTE]
