Default Twin turbo V8

I thought it was just urban legend but does look like Ford is developing a twin turbo V8 for the Mustang

Hope she'll fit in the Raptor

Yeah, still waiting for that 'Cuda they were talking about in 2012 to be released. It's been a long wait lol:

I just can't see a 5.0 or 5.2 TT GT500 when the Ford GT has a 3.5 TT as their flagship performance car.

Car and driver are a bunch of idiots. It'll be the same 3.5L HO engine as the GT and Raptor are getting. Ford won't touch another forced induction V8 unless CAFE goes away completely.... which won't happen.

Unless sales drop off significantly it's not going anywhere. Right now it's selling as well as any engine in the F150 lineup.

my thoughts too, they would be foolish to get rid of the V8. I'm still hoping they beef it up with twins

It's coming. It's not ford, it's the EPA. Maybe not today or tomorrow but it's coming.

They can be found on the FRF. However, it seems like they have finally gotten the tongue lashing by Birdman that they've deserved. So much butthurt over there.
