The 5.0 Coyote is rumored, where is the V6 TT mentioned as being in the GT?

With AWD his 60 was probably on point, and with the tune they turned up the boost 4-5lbs, which is pretty damn awesome. Talk about easy HP.


Here's what Terry had to say after the event...

"After going out in open comp, we got some cool down time and tried out Modular Depot's Ken Bjonnes’ new tune and made the first ever 12 Second 2010 SHO Run at 12.752@108.49 with a 1.90 60-foot."

"Kens tune added and extra 4-5 psi of boost," Ken added. "Stock time in the car was a 13.84 @ 100.84."
I love LSx's, but FI from the factory makes for some cheap and easy power.

Its an echo tech v6 because of the current economy and gas prices this motor was given serious consideration.the Taurus is already in mass production.It would only make sense. The grand national all over again only in a ford body.Lets face it the coyote engine will more than likely be limited to certain production models like the mach one or maybe a shelby n/a gt. And at a ridicules price just like the v8 Camaro.And that would be a killer sales point 25 plus mpg and serious hp numbers .

The v8 Camaro is actually really decently priced. Its cheaper then my GTO was new. MSRP wise. The new Mustang GT w/track pack is more expensive too...


I would be down for turbo V6s or i6s. AWD is definitely a plus.

That's outstanding for a 4,300lb car! Probably 4,500lbs with the driver.
Someone recently said that those cars have a lot of potential. I wonder
who that could be?
