They better do something...
Yeah, I heard something about a new design coming in '09 or '10... 5.x liters to compete with the new Camaro. Should be an interesting next few years

At 370/355 I trapped 108mph at Sac. but traction is always my problem, especially there.

The .1 second for every 10hp probably doesn't quite hold true for 4100lb vehicles, either.
I know what you mean about sac

Hell no... but you have to be a moron to think that Ford is pushing the SOHC 4.6 as far as it can go in the GTs. It's at the power level it's at because that's really all it needs to meet Ford's sales goal.

The Camaro, Challenger and the new Mustang. Nice.

I hope I'm still alive in to see this.

And depending on how the new Tiburon platform goes, it could get a V8 as well (it's already gonna have a V6 with ~300hp)... that would be pretty interesting too, as Hyundai has been making some good cars lately.
