Thanks for your response, Alex. I'm not the only car geek seeing an American company doing something right for a change. Imagine telling a "pure" Mustang owner you are putting a TT V-6 in their car. Ufff. Though Alex, you're right... It's the better engine option versus the 4.6 V-8. You'd think it would clearly be faster, right? Oh, with better gas mileage!

In all honesty even Hyundai can get more horsies out of a 4.6 V8, in the same price range as a Mustang GT, all that in a luxury sedan full of goodies. Imho it's all about stroke length... American V8s are notorious for very long stokes, which translates into an inefficient engine in terms of displacement and fuel economy. Whether the Mustang folks like it or not a twin-turbo GT 'stang is hardly a longshot; it's a damn reality.
