the new style mustang almost needs 18+ size wheels to look good. I guess some just dont like the new style wheel.

When you can fit 23's in the wheel wells without modifications, the 18/19 combo with balloons for tires leaves a little to be desired.

Well, I completely agree with you on that, it's the humungo wheelwell that bothers me I guess. 18's are plenty, I wish designers would stick to them.

You continue to amaze with such illogical statements.
How am I illogical? The SRT actually has the CUBES to show for it's power. Oh wait, don't start telling me that you'd rather have a blown 5.4L than a blown 6.1L?
See the reason why I actually make sense is this: the 6.1L already makes 425 horsepower and 420 lb/ft of torque out of the box with absolutely ZERO modifications. That 5.4L comes a little short of that. Of course if you could find a single vehicle Ford sells that comes with a 400-something horsepower 5.4L without a blower or mods, I'd like to see it. The fact is, the modular V8s are a bunch of pansies without blowers. you heard me right. Not so over in the Mopar or GM camp. Just to prove my point, have you taken a gander at the police vehicle comparison tests being conducted as we speak? Yeah look at that, those 4.6L Ford P71s are having trouble keeping pace with the V6 Chargers and Magnums. I'm not even going to talk about how badly the 5.7L Chargers whooped the Crown Vics ass. So please tell me, why are your fabled modular V8s are so magnificent?
Blah. But with a blower, the 5.4L is pretty nice, although certainly not my style of engine.
And I sure hope you guys weren't so naive as to think I was actually suggesting that I would be able to afford one of those bad boys right away. No way in hell! Sorry if it came off like that. You and I both know I couldn't afford one of those....yet.

Yes Ford uses more technologically advanced engines with S/Cs to achieve their power numbers. The 03/04 Terminators and this New Cobra however have upgraded internals FROM THE FACTORY. I highly doubt that the new HEMIs have this and can RELIABLY and SAFELY support 7-800hp in a daily driver.

Yeah it was really stupid for them to base their numbers on the sales trends of
EVERY SINGLE MODEL MUSTANG EVER BUILT. What were they thinking.  I haven't checked but I would bet the V6 still heavily outsells the GT, and not because of limited quantity. There is probably just a minor shift in demand.
Well, lemme see, the car looks great w/ its cool, retro styling and the base price of the V8 is $25K, hmm, I think 3 out of 10 will buy it, yeah, yeah, thats it  Are you serious with the above statement

Is this a rhetorical question? I mean, the vast majority of your posts are pretty illogical.

Who said anything about a Blown 6.1L?? Chrysler certainly hasn't. Don't get me wrong, higher displacement is nice, but but a blower goes a long way to easily cover a gap of 0.7L displacement.

Umm, no. The 5.4L installed in the GT500 is rated at 450hp. I may not be the best at math, but the last time I checked, 450hp > 425hp and 450#ft > 420#ft.

How can you classify a factory designed supplied and installed supercharger in the same boat as an aftermarket modification? Are you really that dense? Do you consider the Subaru WRX to come "modded" from the factory?
And fwiw, Ford did have a naturally aspirated 5.4L application six years ago that made 385hp off the showroom floor.

Wow, wild accusations and speculation from you? I am so surprised. Need I mention the numerous 320hp 4.6L applications of the modular engine?

Hmm, well, you may have noticed that the Ford CVPI currently uses the lowest output variant of the 4.6L being produced; and it still dramatically outsells the competition to police depts. Ford has discussed the option of offering the 320hp version of the 4.6L 4V in the CVPI, and frankly, the police depts weren't interested (individual officers may have been, but the depts weren't). So, in the end, who is really whooping up on who in the Police Intercepter market?

Wow, that means a lot coming from you; not.
