We still can't get a 4-cylinder to V8 levels of power without a lot of engineering and technology (which costs money). So the V8 is safe for the foreseeable future.

Maybe you are right Fen, and I hope so my friend but when I think of all the people who claim turbo 4's are getting 300+ HP and 300+ TQ and then I look at my wife's 2010 Mustang GT and realize that it has 315HP and less TQ, I think a smaller Mustang with a 2 liter turbo 4 might get marketed as a GT in the future.
What happens when they they make the CAFE rules do arbitrarily high that nothing but 4 bangers and hybrids can do it?
I think that's what they ( the govt) is after.
