I don't know if Ford handicapped the 5.0 but they did handicap the 3.7L V6. Make the trim and options as restrictive as possible, one small option package, base interior the only choice, etc. If there was a V6 Premium for 2015+ I don't think the EcoBoost would have sold nearly as well as it has...
Yeah same here. If there's a Bullitt I'll get that, otherwise I'll probably either keep my current one or buy a last model year GT350 and drive it until I'm not allowed to anymore. No interest in a hybrid or electric Mustang at all. I don't care how fast it is. Call me old fashioned.
I dunno, I feel like if people had to choose between one or the other, most would pick DOD over a 3.5EB, me included. I'm hoping Ford offers a DOD 5.0 along with the 3.5. Even if the 3.5EB were made to sound like a 1000HP GT-R, it still just wouldn't be the same without the V8 in the lineup.
I'd love for the 7G to get closer to the original Mustang's dimensions. Would make it so much lighter and more fuel efficient. And then it could still be fast with a smaller V8 without having to add turbos.
