Positioned between the PP1 (which is pretty much what our GT's are) and the GT350, it's US $6500 option over a base GT (which we don't get). From all reports it's closer in lap times to the Shelby than it is the base GT. Manual only. |

While they are at it can they do a real turbo six?

The Turbo six Barra would be a great power plant in there in my opinion. I’ve driven a 5.0 and it was OK, I’d rather a Barra with a good bottom end punch. That 5.0 is a very big lump of engine for 450 or so HP. Aspirational or not times change. Will it happen, of course not, but in my opinion it would work nicely. Relatively simple power plant, cheap to manufacture, bang for buck and would shake up an LS pretty easy. |

Lincoln is producing its own version, and I’m sure it will offer a turbo 6. That said, you wanted it to be cheaper, but that’s not going to happen. Just be a man, get the GT and get a supercharger! 😄 Last edited by chevypower; 24-05-2018 at 09:05 AM. |

![]() Be a man? Yeah, and be different too! Don’t need a supercharger for that. If anyone does I feel sorry for them hahaha. The V8 and the Mustang definately has a strong background, but if it was (but I acknowledge it never will) be offered with a Barra turbo it would have opened up a different market. The US tuner crowd would have loved something like that. |

Also it looks like your FG 4.0 non turbo dry weight is 195 kg. Not sure what the weight of a turbo and intercooler are, but we are already within 6 Kg of the 460 hp 5.0 that revs to 7,500rpm. Not sure what kind of weight savings you were expecting between a 4.0 with a cast iron block and an aluminum 5.0.

Your comment about “being a man, get a GT and a supercharger “ well, like I say, I’m happy to not bother measuring manhood by those means, and I like originality, it’s not a red herring, just my view old mate. Have a nice day. Last edited by XByoot; 24-05-2018 at 12:05 PM. |

Considering we don’t get the GT350 (or the upcoming GT500) over here this package would comfortably fill that step up FPV/HSV market spot that’s currently quite empty.

Talking about Bottom end punch. The 3.5 Ecoboost annihilates the Barra for Torque.

Ecoboost 3.5 looks like 268kw @ 5500, 465nm @ 1500 (not sure I had a good source) Barra (325) is 325kw @6000 and 576nm @ 2750 (Factory Barra Wikipaedia), additionally according to a graph somewhere on this forum it makes 450nm @ 1500 and 500nm by about 1700rpm. If those figures are correct, (cylinder config vss weight aside)I would take the Barra over the Ecoboost. The ecoboost only makes 3% more nm at 1500, and is likely surpassed by the Barra before 1700rpm |

I6 engines have been part of the Mustang since day one. It would be great marketing given all the retro styling rage.

PP2 plus Bullitt engine tune would be a great package.

Love my 6s hence the F6 in the garage. I dunno though - personally a Mustang with an 8 is like bangers and mash, they just compliment each other and are legendary on the road and on the plate. Take the mash away and put pumpkin with it and it just ain’t the same

About 280kw and 645Nm in the regular F150, tuned for regular unleaded and warrantied to tow 6,000kg on a regular basis. You have to take all that into consideration. |

Actually there is a more powerful version in the Ford GT
The GT is Ford's most powerful production car yet, sporting outputs of 482kW of power and 746Nm of torque from its 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6, which helps it reach an intimidating top speed of 346km/h. https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-new...onfirmed-51475 (PS I didn't know this myself till I looked it up this morning)
