Said our Stateside correspondent: “With its flat torque delivery, steel-cut snarl, and incredibly smooth wind-up to its 7000rpm redline, the 5.0-litre feels more like a European gran turismo thruster than a Detroit donk.All of it at : Ford gets new V8 engine from USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XR09 Guests Posted 19/05/10 06:04 AM Share Posted 19/05/10 06:04 AM And once again the release has been pushed back. Lots of talk about the torque and the drivline not being able to handle it... The truth is they cant get the TC or DSC to work with it either....... lets hope they share the love when they finally do get the calibration right on it.

Isnt half the story of buying one of these all about the "Detroit Donk" feeling?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days, smooth performance is in, even for muscle cars. Besides, the loose interior panels of the Mustang will give it that Detroit character in no time.
