[QUOTE="SVTStrikesBack, post: 9260382, member: 27783"] This can be percived as either negative or positive, but I mean it as a point of encouragement towards Ford. Chevy has had the advantage in cubic inches for as long as I have been old enough to drive. I wish for ONCE Ford would at least equal them so we can once and for all stop saying what if. The 6.2l should be in the Mustang GT, period. I am pretty sure the Raptor is getting a SOHC version of this engine, so it stands to reason you could do a DOHC version for a Cobra/Shelby version. Keep the blowers for the aftermarket and give us the BEST available platform to start from. I do think the new DOHC 5.0 will be a good platform to start from, but Chevy really upper the ante with the LS3 in the Camaro, just like they did with the LS1 and the LT1. What engine did Ford really knock the socks off of Chevy with? The term motor? Maybe, but the LS1 could still do a really good job against it with the right N/A parts, and we are still talking about a blower motor. IMO, a 400hp N/A 5.0 would have been big news if they put it in the Mustang when the FR500 came out. Nearly ten years later? You can get excited, but I like to have something to get excited about. People are getting excited about a car that still doesn't equal the power of a Chevy. The problem is, you can bark all you want about the Mustang being lighter, but can the lighter Mustang keep up with the Chevy N/A mod for mod? [/QUOTE]
