2027 Boss 429?

[RJW]

YouTube is positively littered with BS stories about upcoming new cars. There are many for brands that were discontinued over a decade ago! Oh look, Oldsmobile is bringing back the Cutlass 442! Complete with 8 headlamps, like the American Queen Family Truckster in National Lampoon's Vacation.


I wonder if Saab is coming out with a new car? They are!


What about Pontiac? An all-new Firebird Trans Am! Yes!


I'm glad to see that Mercury is going to start building the Grand Marquis again.


You may have thought that DeSoto stopped making cars in 1961. Hold onto your hats, friends; they are back!


I cannot, however, find any evidence that Hupmobile is coming out with a groundbreaking new model.

Or you could just look at the picture for 2 seconds and see thats its AI slop. Lol

Of course. But I'm also just referring to this trend in general, even when it doesn't come from an AI vid.

It's very much so preying on vulnerable and gullible audiences, particularly demographics like baby boomers. It saddens me that the very demographic that taught us younger people to not believe everything we saw, are the very same people most likely to believe everything they see when it comes to AI slop.

My cousin has sent me clips of my boomer uncle watching the most ridiculous AI vids. Shit like "I hiked to the center of the earth, it took 27 days" or "Are farmers developing large honeycomb farms?" and the thumbnail of the vid will literally be someone sitting on a tractor cab placed on a levatating inverted cone going through a field. To which I responded with the "What the hell is even that?!" Meme.

A lot of the time it's annoying, but harmless. But I'm very concerned about malecous forms of AI like scams being used to take advantage of these people.

Twin turbo Godzilla mustang makes HUGE POWER! #cleetusmcfarland #ford #turbo #boost #car

Big Block Ford P51 headed 429ci Engine dyno

But again, you can just build out a 5.0 to make insane power while still being reliable. So I just don't see the need for a Godzilla mustang.

that thumbnail has Need for Speed Nitro proportions

 

[Daydream]

It even has the fake AI voice lol

 

[A10devil]

Add blower to 5.0 be done

Throttle body connected to the radiator, nice.

It's kind of like water injection but a little more aggressive!

Because not everyone wants a high reving, duel overhead cam engine. As great as the Coyote is, it does have its limitations such as poor low end torque, a complex head system, and the very large amount of real-estate it takes up for a 5 liter engine. Not to mention they're capped at around 500hp when naturally aspirated. Big block engines like the Godzilla can be built to make more power without forced induction and are simple and reliable. The applications are obviously different, but I dont want to live in a world where Im only limited to one kind of V8. There is room for both. Thats why Ford makes them.

You can make another 75 but you're going to ruin the low end even more

I agree with some of your points. But it's looking incredibly likely that moving forward, the 5.0 becomes hybridized. It's been hinted at by Ford. Confirmed by dealer employees who said the sedan was a V8 hybrid. I'd imagine that would carry over into the coupe.

Pairing the instant low end torque you get with electric motors with the insane high revving performance the 5.0 is gonna be basically an unbeatable combo.

Basically it comes down to the 5.0 being so good, and likely only getting better with things like hybrid assist, that I just don't see the need for a large displacement V8 option.

Pretty much the only crowd that's gonna turn up their nose at a 5.0 but go out of their way to buy a Godzilla mustang are the buyers who are anti tech, and just want something simple like you mentioned. But I don't believe that's the sort of demographic that would buy a new mustang. They're probably in the hating all new cars camp while trying to buy a fox body.

 

[robvas]

Are there any (current production) hybrid V8's that don't cost like $100k+

That's supercar shit.

Video just posted 3 hrs ago. Is this a hoax/AI generated BS? First I've heard/seen anything about it.

This is AI bull crap.

Want to make decent power for your Mustang? Forget dropping a bigger mill in it for too many reasons to list most of them high up the dufus scale. Decent power = supercharger, crazy power = twin turbo. See the guys at RSA - fastest Mustangs in the USA!

People look at the past with rose tinted glasses. A lot of people who grew up with those sorts of engines are nostalgic about them. But often don't realize a modern 5.0 is better in literally every way. Power, efficiency, tunability, reliability, etc.

One of the dumbest rumors we ever had in the mustang community was the possibility of getting a 6.8 or even 7.3 super duty motor in the mustang. It was fun in an overkill kinda way, but it was so dumb.

Throwing a heavier, less powerful motor into this awesome sports car that would have required millions of dollars of engineering work just to get close to the 5.0. It made no sense.

Yea, Chevy did something really dumb by making the new base motor for the Corvette a 409 .
Guess the world didn't need a new 6.7 liter hot rod.
