340hp SVT..... Fusion??? Reply #15 – July 09, 2008, 02:53:59 PM The main reason the V8 will never die in the Mustang is because of the drag racing crowd. Even the guys with dyno queens. They buy a GT to modify it. For the stocker crowd, this TTV6 will be a blessing. To the guys who have been building 800hp Mustangs for years, this will be a boon. The TTV6 will already be using up much of its potential right off the lot, while N/A V8's are sitting and waiting for someone to double its output. Quote Selected
340hp SVT..... Fusion??? Reply #16 – July 09, 2008, 05:01:47 PM QuoteYou can get one of those. They call them RS4'sTrue, but I meant with a Ford badge and at a price not halfway to the moon Another half-assed attempt from marketing IMHO.....QuoteThe main reason the V8 will never die in the Mustang is because of the drag racing crowd. Even the guys with dyno queens. They buy a GT to modify it.Don't forget road racers. The new chassis is gaining popularity in that department. Also maybe it's just where I live, but more than half the S-197's I encounter have SOME type of drivetrain modification, but as you said for the average guy a TTV6 WILL suffice even for those who will do minor mods....Hopefully they are smart enough to set up the block and internals to handle a good amount more boost than they set them at from the factory.
