[QUOTE="USV8PWR, post: 13600630, member: 134833"] Its called CAFE. And the corporate average will continually ramp up until 55 MPG average for 2025. I agree! Exactly! Except in durability. Turbo cars don't seem to have near the durability that supercharged ones do. Especially when modified. At some point the limit in performance will be reached. Maybe it's not there yet in handling, but I bet it is really close to the top in straight line acceleration. Unless they increase HP and give more grip. Which I believe they won't do either with the next gen. I bet this is right on the money! There are only 2 cars that are RWD, have a manual transmission, less weight and less HP than the 2013 Shelby GT500 and are actually quicker in a straight line; the 2013 Corvette ZR1 and the 2014 Viper. However, both are quicker not only due to less weight but also with better aerodynamics and much wider tires (better grip). I doubt the next Mustang will meet all of those things which it will have to in order to be quicker with less HP. ;-) Although this info sounds very interesting I would argue that your company should be building parts for replacement under warranties for quite some time forward. Doesn't Ford have to offer replacement parts for 5 to 10 years? Just because the car or the engine isn't offered anymore doesn't mean parts won't keep getting produced for a while longer. [/QUOTE]
