I like the idea of a Miami or blower added under the bonnet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do love turbo rush though, can't imagine it through a bigger capacity V8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timetaker Donating Members 217 Member For: 14y Gender: Male Posted 05/01/14 10:56 PM Share Posted 05/01/14 10:56 PM The new E Class AMG Mercs now have 5.5L V8 twin turbos and we've seen them out accelerate the VF GTS.It's obvious that Ford went down the S/C route because of cost.Twin turbo set up on the Coyote engine would've most likely required other components(drive train) to be strengthen because of the torque.Costs would've snowballed.I have to say,it would've been very interesting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never had any say Panda I <3 Floods Silver Donating Members 11,198 Member For: 13y 4m 15d Gender: Male Location: South West QLD Posted 05/01/14 11:59 PM Share Posted 05/01/14 11:59 PM I will quote a bloke I work with."You could bend Rosie O'Donnel in a G Banger over the bonnet of the new Mustang and I'd still crack a half mongrel".And I agree.. I know heaps of people will bail on ford.. But the reality is it won't cost ford anything.. They only need to import the cars in the volume they sell.. So even if they sell 20 a month.. It's still probably costing them less than if they built them in australia..If I went out into the carpark here I could photograph about 8 VE SS commodores, 1 VF SV6, 1 VF SS.. Most of these blokes are wanting to jump to the mustang when it arrives.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete A Member 442 Member For: 16y 13d Gender: Male Location: Castle Hill NSW Posted 13/01/14 01:52 AM Share Posted 13/01/14 01:52 AM (edited) I've told my dealer I want to be one of the first. I'll order it as soon as he can confirm pricing, options etc. Done deal. I would say for a nice optioned V8 hardtop about $55K. Drop top would be about 10K more at a guess. Haven't decided on hard or drop top yet. Depend on pricing and delivery. Rumour the drop top will be later than the hard top. How much later will be the issue for me.BTW, People have deserted the Ford badge? Rubbish! Edited 13/01/14 01:54 AM by Pete A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
