I like how subarus sound with their unequal length headers, but I can't speculate on how the turbo 4 mustang will sound. I hope it sounds good like the subarus but I have my doubts.
What's next? 3 cylinder turbo Mustangs???
To me, a flow master gt from 87-93 sounds good. Lots of different ones sound good on the 2 valves, and the new GTs...I haven't heard too many that sound bad . Just my opinion though. V6 New Edges however...I know they are just trying to sound like v8s when they dual those things out, but like I said way up there...to me, V6s were in the initial mustangs. So, they are what they are. 4 cylinders came out later...and I don't know a soul collecting 4 cylinder 74s, no matter how many they sold.
I go to the autocross and drag strips, and I see TONS of Hondas, STis, EVOs, etc all with turbo 4s turning ungodly amounts of horsepower. They all sound slightly different in my eyes (yes...I KNOW, they don't all sound the same), but to me, a 4 cylinder sounds nothing like a V8. And you want to talk about sounding like sex?? Ok, well I guess we all have different tastes. But I will take my Stainless Works 3" exhaust V8 sound any day over the others. But that's me.

They put a straight 6 in the mustang too, who in their right mind would turn that engine down if it came back even though its "not a v8?" Horsepower is horsepower man, if you have a stout engine that can make it , i fail to see the problem.
Why can't more performance choices be a good thing for the Mustang? If you don't want a turbo four, there is a V-8 option.
I never said I hated V6s. I never said I hated 4 cylinders cars in general. I just hate seeing one being reintroduced into the Mustang. It hasn't had one in years, and the ones before it didn't do so well either. SVOs...so they sold millions of those heh? Hey, they had their place, but they were a very special, limited production run car.
I see 6 cylinder GTRs run all over most of the cars in the world. But they have always been known for V6s. And I'm sure there are people out there that own one, that would never buy another one if it came with a 4 cylinder. I for one have never owned a 4 cylinder Mustang, and I won't buy one next year. If it's performance you want, then the GT will beat it. I think we all know that. You don't buy the 4 cylinder if you are serious about winging one around a track, track pack or not. (besides the fact that I think it will be one of the largest mass produced platforms size and weight-wise to hold a 4 cylinder).
Do we all remember 4 cylinder Camaros??? I know, I know...not the same engine as the "ecoboost". But nobody bought those for performance...most of the people who did buy them was so they could say "I own a Camaro". And that was really it. If you wanted performance, you went with the better Camaro. If you want performance, you will go with the better Mustang. I understand the business side of it. And if they sell a lot, they will make a lot. But Ford could get into making the best bubble gum in the world if they knew it made money, and they won't be getting into that business I can tell ya. Because bubble gum is just not what they are known for. 4 cylinder Mustangs, they are not known for. They want to broaden horizons, then they can go ahead.
Hybrids Mustang. Nope...wouldn't buy one of those either. I like feeling my car, hearing my car, working on my car. If I want to change a battery and park in the front spot at the mall, i'll buy a different car.

Well my brother, I guess we will just be outcasts in this gay new world of euro-sedan looking, turbo 4 banger mustangs.
Tisk, tisk. Sucks to be you.
