What say you, 5.0wners? Do you really think the next Stang strikes a blow for independence? Or do you think it remans LRA?

Yes, IRS for next model.

It's also going to be a minimum of 250 lbs lighter. The 5.0 will be direct injected with an estimated 450 hp.

3.7L V6 might be replaced with a turbo 4 banger.

So I should hold out another year, and then I can beat you guys on the Dragon? SWEET!

RZ, that sounds like a pretty good indicator.

i'd heard the rumor about the 4 banger from a couple rags and from a buddy of mine who is a mechanic at a Ford dillership.

Well, we will just buy it when it comes out.
