[QUOTE="GT Premi, post: 15808985, member: 121775"] I was hoping something similar would be the case, too, but now I'm not too hopeful. The GT2 and GT3 stand for racing classes. The cars are homages to those racing classes. Just like on Audi vehicles, the RS just stands for Renn Sport, the firm that builds those models. "RS" is Porsche's/Audi's version of M/AMG/SVT, etc. I think you're forgetting about the displacement differences. The 5.0 DOHC Coyote makes basically the same power as the 6.2 OHV LT1. And that's the reason Ford eventually moved to OHC engines in the Mustang, to make comparable power with much less displacement. You have to rev out the DOHC more, but Mustang fans tend to like revs. Plenty of people have done and are doing Coyote swaps into Fox bodies. There's a member on SVTP who has GT500-swapped a Fox body, interior and all. Especially in cold temperatures! [/QUOTE]
