There was a lot of rumors back in 2020ish about ford using the 3.0 in some test mules, a Mustang ST thatās 45k thatās in between the Ecoboost and GT would do really well. The 4 door Mustang had also been rumored for years and i mean years, itās rumored to be on the explorers CD6 platform. I hate...
Iām so over fords blower cars i like the 5.2s but when Chevy is doing wild things with the LT6, itās kind like can we do the same lol. The GT350 was a very compromised engine and now we have true dual throttle bodies theyāre half way there folks
If it wasnāt for the coyote Iād agree with you but that motor has basically saved the mustang at this point. It also had a 10 year lifespan so theyāre at a crossroads with it. Theyāll either have to increase the rev range to continue to push the powerband out we already see this with the gen 4s...
Absolutely Covid made alot of companies very very lazy and it shows. I love the dark horse but letās cut the crap itās an updated Mach 1, so donāt try to tell me itās a new gt350 or that itāll give you the same experience as a GT3. Ford is in for a rude awakening if the GTD doesnāt get the times...
Ford has zero imagination anymore itās about getting clout which is dumb. We also know a GT4 car is in the works and the rumor has been itās a supercharged car aka a cheaper GTD is coming but i just want a 600hp flat plane crack V8 for 70-80k why is that so hard anymore
Iām not talking about gen 4 did you read my post lol Gen 4 is a wash Gen 3 is worth 8-10whp on the Mach 1 and GT but youāre not going to magically make it an 11 second car
Iām late to the party but i wanna clear some things up about carbon trap removal
it was added to the 2022 MY GT and mach 1 for the newer emissions standards it officially dropped hp by 10. But dyno data shows they are nerfed pretty good as there is real gains by removing them on the gen 3 cars...
Everything you said is true but Iād like to add more
1) turbos also add cost and complexity significantly
2) like you said with exhaust note but itās a bit more complicated, it entirely depends on where the turbo is installed and if it uses an integrated exhaust manifold, if it does they sound...
This charger wonāt sell very well. Itās not wild or crazy enough to eclipse the reputation of the old car. Now i do love me a good old in-line 6 but itās almost like they threw it in at the last minute. Here is the rub
Nobody wants an electric charger even though i like EVs a lot itās just a...
The only issue with bringing back the boss 302 is the damn dark horse has pretty much taken its place. Honestly Iām hoping they do something a bit different here so letās say they did bring back the boss make it a street legal GT4 car
You have to remember the C8 across the board has a waitlist they also donāt make anywhere near as many per hour vs the mustang. Iām sure Chevy would love to expand production but you can also make too much and run into issues where well we got two plants running wide open now sales tanked...
Itās not 1 to 1 though the vette is fighting for sales against the 911 which itās doing very well. The Mustang is in its own little
World and thatās okay. I think price and performance is definitely an issue. That needs work
