    Ford, PLEASE put your best V8 in the Mustang!!! I'm begging...

    Yeah, FWD and also the Nissan 350Z. But those don't have any punch, they handle for crap, and package badly with extremely poor balance and C.G. <---(That was sarcasm)

    Yeah, I can't answer for the extra space leftover from the original transverse layout, unless you want to decompromise the original macpherson front suspension design at the same time (which is necessitated by the 90 degree V-8). But the engine is torquey, and six speeds would negate the...

    First off, I'm sure if you told Yamaha to lose the ULEVII and make it noisier they could tune for 350 horse easily. Secondly, here's another thought to make you Yamahaters barf: The Japanese and Germans are better than us at solving hard engineering problems due to the regimented work ethic...

    Yes, they're both made by Yamaha. No, it does not share any design or componentry with the old SHO motor. Yamaha R&D's the hizzuh out of everything they make. I'm talking about more powerful, stout, and refined than the 5.4 with less weight on the front axle. The 5.4 is underpowered by...

    http://wardsauto.com/ar/auto_volvos_reach_beyond/index.htm Introductory info: In current factory trim this yamaha-built 4.4L V-8 engine sports an aluminum block and heads, 32 valves, 311 horses, 325 lb-ft, ULEVII emissions, and a companion 6-speed automatic transmission. No exact weight...

    eopionion.com review - Can you believe this guy?

    Mr. Idoit wannabe auto journalist thinks front-wheel-drive is synonymous with "tighter handling and higher technology" I'm guessing this dork is cheating on his journalism assignment by ripping sections of different reviews and cobbling it together like it's his own. He drives a FWD eclipse...

    Anyone Driven the v6 yet?

    So even the V6 owners have forgotten about insurance costs?!? Come on people!! Fuel costs are squat compared to insurance on a GT! I'll sum up with: correct position, wrong argument.

    How much more money to insure a 2005 GT over a 2005 V6????????

    Come on, no one's checked with their insurance agent yet to get a quote on an '05? I thought this was supposed to be the main obstacle of the muscle car for its intended demographic. Or are we all just being blissfully ignorant of reality? ...I guess I'll just wait for the ads to start...

    How much more money to insure a 2005 GT over a 2005 V6????????

    I'm guessing $50/month extra to insure a GT for a medium-risk case such as myself and you-all. Anyone else look into this? After adding up MSRP, gas, maintenace, and my estimate of comprehensive insurance costs for 10 years of ownership for a 10K mile/year commuter car...............I come...
