[QUOTE="treynor, post: 16657161, member: 6214"] The main reason to have more cylinders is that you can spin to higher RPMs at the same displacement. This is less of an advantage for turbo motors than it was for N/A. If I look at the comparable cars of the era, Ford put a 650HP 3.5L TTV6 in the GT, Ferrari put a 670HP 3.9L TTV8 in the 488 GTB, and McLaren put a 650HP TTV8 in their 650. Ford got a weight and size advantage out of their V6 approach, with negligible power deficit. And let's face it, none of those motors are known for their sound - the turbos take away the aural scream of the high revving motors even as they deliver (bigtime!) with both power and torque. As for the mule people are talking about, I don't know anything you don't, but I [b]suspect[/b] it's a mule for the next generation of ... whatever Ford has up its sleeve. [/QUOTE]
