[QUOTE="onlyAgtWalkinU, post: 8991674, member: 95691"] The Ford 4.6 is a very good engine - I have one. Never a problem and with cheap, simple mods - I walk GTOs (yes, the new 350 and 400hp versions). Mine is a "heavy drop-top" with a "slow" automatic. 2007 GT. The new 302 is NOT bringing back the old pushrod 302, it is and ALL NEW 306 CUBIC INCH 32 valve MONSTER. Don't forget a good rule-of-thumb: 10hp =100lbs In other words, a camaro that has for example only, not actual numbers: a 3800lb 430hp would be 400lbs (or 40hp) disadvantaged to a 3400lb Mustang GT given the mustang had the same HP. If coyote Mustang GT has the estimated 400 hp then it would have a 10hp advantage (or approx .1sec or 1mph 1/4mile drag time advantage). As far as the IRS, I've heard nightmares about the IRS in GTO's. SO, is it really better for the kind of car/purpose ... NO. FAST (not quick) cars are mostly ALL solid rear axles for a reason. They can handle the power. A quick tune on a coyote should yield about 450hp and about 600hp with a pump gas blower or 700hp with a kit Turbo. We are talking about GT's here, not SRT8's or SS Camaros .... just a plain jane GT for a lot less $. Ford's already on top with the 4.6/sales/running it's company right/etc. Just imagine when they unleash the Coyote. USA FORD WINS Hide, run and tremble pushrod GM and HEMI lovers. [/QUOTE]
