the jaguar AJV8 is a 100% jaguar design, both the previous gen and the current gen. jaguar, land rover, and aston martin operated nearly autonomously, with minimal assistance other than monetary from ford.

Hmm, if true I am very surprised they would give the Mustang a high horsepower/low torque V8. Depending on how low that torque is and at what rpm, it might not be enough to be the Camaro dominator many are hoping for.
Ok, fine. I would bet money there was information sharing, but oh well.
Regardless, tell me what is so different about Ford's 5.0L and Jaguars 5.0L? Thats what I want to know.
no doubt about info sharing, the PAG companies more than likely used some of fords R&D resources too.Ok, fine. I would bet money there was information sharing, but oh well.

sounds good to me!!!What I can see ford doing is a another mid range model like the shelby gt was between a reg gt mustang and the shelbygt500
I can see this:
base v6= for $24-$30k with 3.7 v6 300hp
reg base GT =$28-$37k with 5.0 v8 400hp
mach1/boss/shelby gt=$38-$42k with 5.0 v8 425hp+
( = GT+ with mach/boss/or shelby apperance package, intake,exaust etc.)
shelby gt500=$44,000-$52k 5.4 aluminum block supercharged 540+-600hp
v6=300hp
v8/GT=400hp
special model= 415-450hp
(mach1,boss,shelby gt)
shelby cobra= 540-600hp
THAT WOULD BE A PERFECT SETUP!!

Or are you all just "guessing"!?!
This bore spacing should be able to be increased on the Coyote as I understand it was kept small so the modular V8's could be used in FWD cars. With ecoboost, that should no longer be necessary.
Changing the bore spacing would make it a completely different line of engines.
Which is why they came out with the Boss/Hurricane line of engines. Which will be in the Raptor and the Super Duty. It has roughly 1/2" larger bore spacing allowing for larger bores.
They increase the size of the bores in modular motors by using thinner sleeves.
again, this is not true. the fact that this engine features direct injection throws everything out the window, since direct injection cools the combustion chamber which will skew the results when compared to a port injection engine.SBo3, I'm not saying the Coyote will make the same power as the Jag. I am saying the Jag is the closest thing we have to the Coyote for comparison and discussion.
the jaguar AJV8 is NOT related to the modular family in any way, shape, or form.Isn't that what everyone is doing? Where are detailed specs of the Coyote motor listed? The Jaguar motor is a modular 5.0L, but to say the Coyote motor will make the same power would be a guess as well. ;-)

With Ford offering a 300hp V6, there's no way they'll allow a GT to have only around 315. I think you're right...a 400hp GT is in the works, and you'll be able to buy one for less than $30k considering that you can option down a current GT now for $28k sticker price (a frackin' bargain).
No better bang for the buck, especially considering how much lighter and how much more balanced it is over the Camaro and Challenger. Exciting times!

i hope your right. but if theres one thing i've learned from ford, it's waiting until it's on the showroom floor before getting my hopes up.
my take on it is this- without DI, i see the new GT being around 385hp/tq. and here's why:
1. it leaves enough room between the GT and Shelby to have some type of special edition with more than just an intake and exhaust.
2. i just have a hard time believing that ford will make that kind of hp jump with the GT.
3. a rating in the area of 385 would shine a better light on their ecoboost line of engines. since the marketing for those is based on v6 economy with v8 performance, keeping the power levels within an arms length gives the ecoboost more credibility, while also giving the mustang and it's new v8 the respect of still having more power than a v6 powered taurus.
4. hp levels can only get so high, and ford KNOWS it doesn't need the mustang to be the hp king to outsell its rivals
i hope i'm wrong, but thats just my take
