[QUOTE="2nazty, post: 16080834, member: 52134"] I for one would like to see this happen, although make it an even 5.8L displacement coyote based V8 just for historical sake. What I cant wrap my head around, despite being a former maintenance department supervisor with Ford, is why on earth does Ford cede market share to its competitors in V8 powered vehicles. I get that for many people, they are perfectly happy with Ecoboost engines, they serve a purpose in the market however they are not representative of what the entire spectrum of potential consumers want. I have a 3.5L ecoboost in my Taurus SHO and while I think it performs decently enough I would have preferred a V8 with turbochargers or even a N/A V8 over this powertrain. What I would like to see from a potential gasoline V8 line up from Ford for the F series trucks and Mustang would be this: 1) 5.0L N/A coyote V8 - F150 and Mustang GT making around 500 Hp 2) 5.8L N/A coyote V8 - F150 and specialty Mustang model (Mach 1/Bullitt) making 550 Hp 3) 5.2L N/A FPC V8 - Shelby GT350 Mustang making 580 Hp 4) 5.2L or 5.8L supercharged or twin turbo V8 - Shelby GT500 making 850 Hp, base GT500 may opt for 800 Hp on lower boost or CR, and 850 Hp for a GT500KR model 5) 7.0L NA V8 - F series truck (Raptor or other model) and specialty Mustang (Boss 429) making 625 Hp This would complement the current engine line up offering consumers a wider choice of powertrain options thus stemming potential loss of consumers to competing brands who offer several gasoline V8 options. I am extremely disappointed that FCA and GM are launching more and more V8 vehicles and Ford management doesnt seem to want to give us the engines and options we want, I cant stand listening to Dodge fan boys brag about the Hellcat and Demon when just a few years ago they had nothing to even remotely compete with Ford cars and trucks [/QUOTE]
