Lighter and faster...

Highlights....
Ford finally using technology that they won an engineering award on. Also fun note is that they let Nissan use the technology as well.
Aluminum block, saves 100 plus lbs.
Better tires and suspension
550 hp!! :skid:
better gas mileage and removes gas guzzler tax
electric power steerting
glass roof option
Get's skinny stripes.. don't know if I like them or not.

Well damn....this disappoints me kind of. I was hoping Ford was going to trash the 5.4 and use the 5.0 in the GT500 as well....mainly so it'd become cheap, and then I could buy one for a swap.
Good to see Ford engineers are finally getting off their asses all the way around. Don't like the small stripes though. Definitely would switch that out for a KR single fat stripe.

All good, except the stripes. skinny, boy racer, euro stripes gotta go, don't belong an what shall become an American legend. Ford may as well have put them on offset and called it a "Euro" version.
As for the Al 5.4L, pure sex. I have a feeling it will be used for some time in the GT500, as it is a re-design. However, the engineering program that developed the new 5.0 also was involved in 1 or 2 bigger motors. One of those is now available in the "Raptor" F150. Wonder if it'll fit in a 'stang?

It just upsets me how Shelby's custom cars are always so expensive. You could easily build it with the same parts for maybe 10-15k more. But it doesn't have the name. Damn marketing.

Check that out!
Dropped the cast block and developed a new technology that doesn't require cylinder sleeves if I read right.
10hp increase, 100 pounds dropped, new wheels, tires, and suspension..
Forgot to add! UGLY STRIPES!
