I think you all are forgeting the fact that ford is run by a bunch of scared nancy boys,they don't have the balls to put that much HP in anything other than the mustang.They are toafraid to put their necks out there and do something people like.Ford doesn't do anything differant until GM trys it first.Don't get me wrong I work at a ford dealer,and I know ford has the know-how and the ability to do all these things,but it's highly likely they won't.

Don't forget that this is about an engine in a FWD car.There is a reason you don't see many FWD cars with over 260HP.



Ford can do it...but cost drives the prices of their cars and ppl don't want to pay a large premium for a high hp fwd ford that depreciates worse than a house in New Orleans.



I didn't say they couldn't do it,they are more than capable.I was stating that it is highly likely that they won't.

The reason that price drives their desicions is because of all the over payed people in the boardroom that are to afraid to put their necks out there and take a chance.

A few pieces of info into fords problems.Bill ford received a $20 million dollar bonus for 2004.ford stock was at $9 per share I believe.54% of every new car sale goes to paying retired board members.Meanwhile back in the real world ford stock is at $7.

I don't mean to rant about Ford I love my car,I like most of the vehicles they make,but the simple fact of the matter is Ford probably won't do as much with the 3.5 as everyone thinks they will.I really wish they would though,I'd like to see them take a chance and be sucessful.
