Honestly I know ford wants the GT to come off as a sophisticated sports car so there following the trend of turbo 6 cylinder cars, yes there no stranger to turbo charging and yes the Ecoboost engine's are very successful.. but i just don't see that translating too well.. if they use that engine they better make that car damn good, or it will never stand out in front of the competition especially the German's

agreed. As soon as I saw ecoboost in a picture, I immediately got sad. A car like this shouldn't have anything labeled "eco" associated with it. Modify it and re-brand it something else.
I do like the sound of it though... Of course it would be even better if it were a V8 with some turbo spool....
Gay. Gay gay gay gay gay.

I'm perfectly content with my GT500 until it dies.

Good competition that's coming back in the same year:

HAHAHAHAHAH SUCK IT FORD FANBPY FAGGOTS

Where's the "we didn't need no bailout" bullshit now??? Looks like fords taking it in the ass. I don't see GM doing any pussy ass bullshit, like chucking the v8 out of the vettes because they have "pressure applied from the EPA". I'm willing to bet the GM told them to "suck my dick" when they were like "you know, you guys should do what ford is doing with the V6 in the mustangs"

You're fucking retarded. That ugly ass bullshit hybrid is a joke.

The day that hippies cause General Motors to discontinue the SBC will be the day I just give up and move out of the country.

As for this car, I just want to know why they used a V configuration instead of a flat or straight six. Seems to me those configurations hold up much better under high boost. I doubt you see these new ones dominating the Texas mile like the old ones did.

We still didn't need a bailout, the V8 isn't gone yet (nor do i think it's actually going anywhere), so please pull the GM cock out of your mouth and calm your tits.

Kinda hard to take that srsly when the new GT500 is going to be released in 2017, the same year the article says Ford will ditch the V8. I'm taking that with a grain of salt until then.

This. The new GT350 is pretty primo.

And the source "Troubled by these horrible thoughts, we were able to have a quick chat with one of the many Ford reps here at the show."

I will say this, IF they do decide to drop the V8 my truck will likely be the last Ford I buy.
