[QUOTE="Softballer77, post: 14203168, member: 151898"] I am of course just speaking for myself, but had to just put this out there... I have always prided myself in owning American Muscle. I own a Mustang, and have had different ones for a few years. I have never owned one that was not a V8 (current car '14 GT500). I understand that Mustang originated with a V6, and to be honest, even if that wasn't for me I understand that you have to kind of hold true to what helped start the whole legacy. However, to me the years that Ford had a 4 cylinder in a Mustang, those were not great years. Especially the first ones. I figured Ford would have wanted to stick to what works, and stay away from what doesn't work. I understand the need for greater efficiency, changing with the times, etc...but I have always prided myself in hearing that tin-canned Honda running balls to the wall down the quarter or road course and thought "man am I GLAD I own a Mustang with real power and does NOT sound like that!" Now, when I hear that tin-can rattling, high revving sound coming from an aftermarket cat-back turbo 4 cylinder behind my back, we are now in the time that it can, and will be a Mustang... ..at that point, I'm going to open up the exhaust on my Shelby, and let her howl in firm rebuttal. Ford has created a war between fellow Mustang owners in my opinion. (V8/4cylnder) Mustangs (more recent) have never been known to carry great resale values, but check the resale values on ANY 4 cylinder mustang. You could probably own one for the price of a go-cart now. Can you tell I'm just a little disappointed? [/QUOTE]
