I highly doubt ford would play with turbos anymore. They tried...then went back to thier roots.

Why not? What went wrong?

[HighRev87]

The probe used to be offered with a turbo package.. That was the first gen I believe, then after that the new gen was NA. It also takes alot of tradition into play. Ford wants to stick with the "muscle car" title of a v8 with roots type blower. Im not saying I wouldnt love to see a factory Cobra DOHC 4.6 TT...but I dont think it is going to happen.

Thats absolutely untrue, from low end the cammer has way more than any 4.6 engine ive seen in a stang. In fact thats what 5.0s were knew for, no low end torque, pshh

THANKS FOR CLEARING THAT UP FOR ME. So that leaves me with the question, Why not use the 5.0L Cammer (non-supercharged of course)???

It might be released late 2006 as a "2007" model. Why does it matter anyway? If it comes out in 2007 it will just give them more time to think of ways to make it even better.

Forget Cobra - Bring Back "The Boss Mustang"...

For those lucky to own one, there was "The Ultimate Boss," the rare Can Am 494, an exotic bored-out version of the Boss 429 NASCAR engine. Using standard Hilborn injection only thirteen (13) full aluminium engines were made and five (5) of the ULTRA-rare magnesium engines. A reputed *700HP+* was obtainable from this setup.

700HP+... from the factory...

STOCK.

In 1969.

Go ahead Ford, make my day... build the 21st Century functional equivalent of this Corvette Killer.

Be still my heart.

I hope Motor Trend is correct with the Shelby Mustang Cobra being the SVT Cobra replacement. That would almost be enough to satisfy me.

You go build a 5.0 thats pushing 500hp N/A and tell me it has off idle power. Pshh... A 500hp 5.0 is spinning way up there to make that kinda power. You go build a 5.0 that makes 500hp @ 7000+ rpms N/A. Now come back and tell me what kind of low end power (around 1000-1500rpms) the car has. It Wont. A 5.0 built to spin about 7000 rpms in order to hit the goal of 500 n/a hp wont start making any power till probably around 3500 rpms.

Unless it's camshafts are timed. That could work.

? u race in the power band right? so when ur going down the drag strip and u go from 3500 to 7000 then when u shift u drop back down to what 3500 or 4000. so y does 1500 rpms matter to much i understanf off the line also if ur crusing etc but in a racing aspect.

[stang351]

yeah...you wont juice any low end torque without a decent stroke, and if you're running a 7000rpm engine your stroke wouldn't be very big...now stroke the engine a little and you've got way better low end

No Fucking way will they put a 5.0 back in, Atleast in a cobra, The saleen doesn't even ave a 5.0, And it still makes 400 HP
