Big Steve Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I got bored and started reading up on the Line-ups for the future. Ford has the GT with a 5.0 V8 coming back with 400hp and a 3.7L V6 with 315hp? Also, GM is bringing the Z28 back Supercharged with 570hp? What the hell is going on here? Oh, and the Boss is set to be released in 2012. Also, a eco boost version of the GT500 with a 427? Did the GM/Ford battle heat up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEVE-O Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I think it might be heating up... Did they mention what motor the z28 was going to have??? I want to say for 560 hp it would be something like a supercharged ls6?? or whatever is in the CTS-V... or dont know what motor they put in the supercharged XLR either I would think it is the same one though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pontiacfreak142 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 With the motors and models coming out, the muscle car wars will be very interesting. Ford has the 3.7 going in the mustang will have 305 hp and the new 5.0 is supposed to be somewhere around the 400 mark. I did also hear they were planning on using and ecoboost 6.2L for the cobra. The Z28 will have the supercharged 6.2L LSA with 556 hp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Camaro > Mustang, it's been that way since the 60's and it sure as hell isn't changing anytime soon :bangbang: If you don't believe me, look it up on truestory.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 haha the new Mustangs do look really nice IMO. Glad to see they are finally stepping up and putting something more powerful in them. So were the Z28 rumors finally confirmed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tbutera2112 Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 anything can be made fast, but ya cant fix ugly i like the 2010 stang, and the new camaro....the rear of the camaro is finally starting to grow on me which was my only complaint about the car to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I'm impressed that the V6 Camaro gets 29mpg and the V6 Mustang is supposed to get 30, good numbers for 300hp cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Steve Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 The "coyote" V8 is Fords 302 based motor. GM will be around. The Camaro has saved there asses. The Supercharged Z28 (same motor as the CTS-V) program was 50 Million to get started. The 2011-2012 GT500 is not an iron block as well. (Aluminum blocks) They claimed to have shaved 400-500lbs from the car as well to better handle and compete with the other cars like BMW, GM. Should be interesting.

Not like the Mustang has much competition from GM in terms of handling anyway. The Camaro plows through corners like a Tank. I s'pose they're going straight for the 'Vette at this point? If both of these cars come to fruition just like these proposed forms, it ought to be an exciting battle in Ford vs. GM War History. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTurbo Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 I think at that point when they are building twin-turbo 6.2L engines, that they ought to change the name from Ecoboost. Ugh, Ecoboost doesn't imply its a small engine. It implies an engine with high displacement power and low displacement fuel economy. Now, you do have a 2.3 so I can see where your view is tainted :nutkick: But to put it into perspective, it's going to have the power of a V12 with V8 fuel economy.
