[QUOTE="americansteel, post: 13484340, member: 149471"] I do understand CAFE standards are an average across their fleet of vehicles. The reason I mentioned it is because in general companies are improving the fuel efficiency of their vehicles to meet CAFE standards and customer demand. Fuel efficiency in sports cars are increasing across the board. I do not see that trend stopping. But yeah, for a limited production model (assuming the GT350 would be?) they can certainly do whatever they want here. I see them continuing to milk the 5.0 though. It's the best motor they've put in the high production # Mustangs that I can re-call in a very long time. They'll milk it as long as it's competitive. Ford loves changing stuff though. And it's 50 years. We'll see. I just don't think they will steer from the sound. Anything else is fair game in my eyes.[/QUOTE] the 5.0 isn't going to change any time soon. the only changes are coming is the platform and transmissions. if fuel efficiency is a concern then there will have to be weight dropped off the car, you can only make the 5.0 fuel efficient for so much! adding DI will some what add fuel efficiency but how much exactly? we wont know till its brought out. the GT350 will be built on the mustang line so will be the Mach1. the SVT cobra will of course be handed off to SVT. the 5.8l will be a production engine as well. the sound will be the same.
