Yes, but ford has already said the next gt500 type of mustang will be N/A around 500-550hp

we still dont know if it will be NA or not. All we know is it will it will not have the supercharged 5.8. My guess is still a TT 5.0 "ecoboost"

I said along time ago it would prolly be a either a supercharged or Eco-charged 5.0 with DI. Thats really the thing im worried about. If whether or not these new engines will be DI.

I like to drive my cars and shifting the gears is part of that. Plus Ford built a shit DC in the Focus and still needs time to refine that tech.

I fail to see how 550whp N/a sucks when your always talkign about Zo6 vettes and there awesome 505hp. This new stang wll be close in weight to a vette.

I consider it as sucking when you go from 662hp to 550. However, everything is not written in stone yet. We'll see if the weight gets down and if the acceleration is better on the new car than a GT500 with 662hp.

Also, to the people that mod cars, it's pretty common knowledge that modifying an engine already setup for boost is far easier, and cheaper than trying to do the same with an NA engine.

No blower means lighter too. I'd like to see a TT 6.2 in the gt500 myself.

If they are shaving off 400lbs, I don't see a blower setup as a bad option. Turbos are considered blowers also, and two of them would weigh just as much as a supercharger if not more.

would not fit in the new body. thats why they are getting rid of the 5.8 is because it wont fit in the new body style.
