I want a CS! I'd like to get a 2007 or 2008 GT/CS and build it up.

 

I love those V6 wheels, would I be shunned if I put them on the GT when it's mine?

 

That S badge looks all sorts of stupid on that high end car, what does it think it is, a Corolla???

 

If it ain't a Ford, it's stupid.

 

If things keep going the way they are there won't be a 2010 Mustang or even Ford.

 

Potty mouth lance!

 

New Engine Options For the 2010 Mustang?

Friday January 25, 2008
In a recent Motor Trend article by Matt Stone and Mike Connor, the magazine hints at the possibility of new engine options for the 2010 Mustang. According to Future Shock: 2010 Ford Mustang, Ford might be working on a plan to add the new twin turbo EcoBoost V6 engine into the 2010 Mustang. The reason behind such a move could be due to the recent CAFE law ruling which raises the bar to a 35 mpg average for automotive fleets by 2020. The engine is set to debut in an upcoming performance version of the Ford Fusion. Now get this. Depending on the specifications of the new Mustang's design, the EcoBoost V6 could produce up to 415 hp with torque that matches the existing V8 Mustang. So what about the existing 4.0L and 4.6L engines? Well, the article notes that Ford would most likely keep the 4.0L engine in its lineup, unchanged. Better yet, a 5.0L engine would return in place of the existing 4.6L engine. In all, three engine options would exist for the basic Mustang lineup:

• 2010 Mustang w/4.0L V6 Engine
• 2010 Mustang w/twin turbo EcoBoost V6 Engine
• 2010 Mustang w/5.0L V8 Engine

The Mustang will receive its first major overhaul for the 2010 model year. In terms of powertrain, while the 3.5 liter EcoBoost turbo V6 we’ve been hearing about probably would make for a good long term solution, there’s still doubt that such a powertrain would see its way into a Mustang by 2010.
More likely is a 5.0 liter version of the current 4.6 liter V8. Horsepower would be higher than the current 300 hp setup and utilizing some improvements seen in the 315 hp Bullitt Mustang, could produce up to 350 hp.

We’d like to see the 3.5 liter 263 hp motor from the Taurus see duty as the base V6 motor or at least bridge the gap between the 4.0 liter V6 and 5.0 liter V8, but sources suggest that the 4.0 liter will soldier on unchanged due to its price point and use for rental-fleet Mustangs. But with potentially equal or better gas mileage than the 4.0 liter, it would be nice if the 3.5 liter was used for retail and the 4.0 liter as fleet-only.
There’s even talk that the 3.5 liter EcoBoost turbo V6 could be offered alongside the 5.0 liter V8. While four different powertrain options seems excessive, 200-hp, 263-hp, 340-hp and 350-hp versions would make for some interesting choices.

 

Old news. Most places aren't even talking about the 5.0 anymore..

 

Theres so much speculation its ridiculous. Nobody knows for sure. We'll find out Tuesday.

 

Is that right??!

 

Yeah. I think if you're part of the Mustang Club of America you get to watch streaming video of the unveiling at a designated area in your town (or close by). I just figured I'd keep on hitting refresh on LLN

 

Pretty exciting. Ford is a hell of a lot better at keeping a project secret than oh, say Chevy. How long have we known what the new Camaro will look like? I like the Challenger better anyhow.

 

Its going to be on the Speed Channel.

 

What suck is that I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled at noon here so that's like 2 eastern time and that's when I heard it's scheduled. And they said I'm getting Vicodin after it so I'm going to be all loopy and crap and am going to miss the whole thing!! I'm pissed.

 

Haha, pwned.

 

What's that? Oh, I'm sorry. I couldn't hear your yappin' over my 4v V8, sucka.

 

Lol^
Vicodin is a lovely painkiller, its like the express train to Happytown.
If such a place existed, which it doesn't, that would just be nonsense.

 

What a douche.
lol

 

Eat a pineapple right before you have to start fasting it will reduce the amount of swelling you get and yes I am being serious

 

haha PCola you've been gettin it pretty bad lately.

 

I have to fast 6 hours ahead of time. Should I still go with pineapple??

 

Seriously, you guys are all ********. Hahaha

 

im going to miss it too unless someone can hook me up with a live stream online somewhere.

 

stangnet is covering it

 

yup it's a natural anti inflamatory and tastes awesome..... I love pineapple

 

Haha 2010 Mustang thread talking about pineapples.


Tomorrow guys! Woohoo!

 

Doesn't this deserve to be stickied by now?

 

No, people post it in so much there's no point in making it a sticky.


I ******* LOVE PINEAPPLE.

 

HELL YES.

I found this on allfordmustangs. Apparently, it is some info that has been 'leaked'. We will know for sure tomorrow, though. I can't ******' wait.

Glancing through I find a few items I like and a few that raise questions.
I like the cheep upgrades for HIDs and nicer brakes, that hot.
Engine cover, standard? Tire pressure monitoring system, also standard? What the heck is an easy fuel capless filler?
I think I answered my own question.

(Thats a ford GT, but the idea is most likely the same)
