Would you buy this new 2010 SVO that Ford wants to make?

Question

Rumor has it that Ford is thinking of making the all new Mustang SVO with a 300 HP Ecoboost engine. They are also talking about making a turbocharged V6 as well. Would you buy this car? It is said that it will be 25% more fuel efficient then today's GT and 800 pounds lighter.

Answer 1

yea if I had $50k!

Answer 2

Well the ecoboost 4 banger from ford is to be rated at 300 horse and the 6 banger is doing nearly 400 horse.  the rumor is they will be putting the engines in the ford explorer when they redesign them next yr.  in the mustang it would work for the new generation of mustang tuners but ford would still put the 8 cyclinder in the gt for the older buyers.

Answer 3

I'd rather try for a ecoboost 8 cylinder :-)

(wishful thinking but the Ford skunkworks have probably designed it already like the v-10ed mustang)

Answer 4

yes... and it won't be the first time the Mustang was turbo charged, or an SVO.  they made a turbo model in the early 80's as well... it's not a new idea... even then it could spank the GT 5.0
