I'm agreeing with 69fastback & 95mustanggt here. It's all about the marketing and profitability. The Mustang's sales have been great, plus GM is getting rid of the F-body. Another thing: power doesn't sell much, and usually costs a LOT more money to get. The thing that turns me on about Ford is the HUGE aftermarket that's developed, plus how easy it is to get more power out of them with mostly factory equipment. Some people forget that the power of the new Mustangs is what, 260HP? The 5.0L was only rated for 225! The insurance on these cars is already high enough, and not that many people can afford a V8 already (insurance & gas together).
Ford is headed in the right direction, and through their continuing R&D, they'll probably have more powerplants available in the future with even more power. Chill out, my friends. All is good...  ------------------ Capri306, Moderator, The Mustang Works Online 1979 Mercury Capri, 5.0L -- C4 -- 2.73 1987 Mustang LX Notch |
