Z28x said:Ford will lack for '05 but will hopfully have something special for 2006. in 2005 others will have:
400HP GTO
340HP 300C
340HP Chrager R/T
425HP 300C SRT-8 (6.1L Hemi)
425HP Chrager SRT-8 (05 or 06?)
It looks like rumors of the 3v 4.6 being overrated are untrue (at least in Auto cars) I've read on other sites that the auto Stangs are having a hard time breaking out to the 14's and someone said an auto Stang dynoed 245 RWHP.
Z28x said:For the millionth time, insureance rates are not based on HP. Vehicle value, cost of repair, safty, and the % of accedents that model is in are what they are based on. mods = higher warranty cost for manufactorer, they don't want that. higher vehicle cost = more profit, companies like that.
Under this theory, the 200 HP V-6 should have the same insurance rate as the V-8? I don't get it?
I can understand typos or spelling something wrong in a post.CarrollShelby said:Come on Catman... Right now you can buy a brand new Cobra for 31k and take the Ford financing at 0% rate for 60 months!
The 05" will cost 26K and full rating %... No more 0% financing discount and after that you are going to put some mod's???
Take your calculator machine please and give me you're number... Sorry, but I don't understand your figure!
I like those ideas, I was thinking the same thing. I two think a slightly bigger engine would be a good option like maybe the 4.9 hi-po.....but it almost sounds extreme to ask Ford for more than a 4.6. Sure the 4.6 can be a lethal engine with a forged motor and boost like the Cobra but what about N/A performance...does Ford even care?Z28x said:I don't think people are asking for a More powerfull base Mustang (GT), They want a second V8 with more power. The Mustang Should have V6, base V8, hi-po V8. Like I said the 300hp 4.6L is good for a midrange engine, but the Mustang should also have and optional 3v 5.0L or 3v 5.4L V8 for $1200-$2000 more.
Bore and stroke doesn't really add much cost to an engine, I read that the price difference to build a Silverado 4.8L, 5.3L, or 6.0L is only $15 Ford could have done a 91 octane burning 4.9L 3v with 350HP as an optional engine. Or at the very least offer a higher compression 4.6L with more agressive cams putting out 330HP
