[QUOTE="mustangc, post: 13334186, member: 87570"] I just read a new article tonight about the 2015 Mustang. In addition to the base 305 hp V6, optional 350 hp 2.3L Ecoboost I4 and 450 hp 5.0 V8, they claimed information about the GT350: a flat crank V8 revving over 7000 rpm, likely displacing 5.4L, and generating nearly 600 hp. My guess is it would be an enlarged Coyote (maybe a slightly taller deck?). Flat crank means that there are 180 degrees between crank throws instead of 90, similar to a 4-cylinder crank. One of the benefits if this design is that no two cylinders on either bank will fire back-to-back. This produces a much different sound, less American thump-thump and more race car like screamer (think Ferrari V8). If this is true, I think the Z-28 will soon be meeting its daddy... [/QUOTE]
