So I wouldn't be pitching a high-mpg four over there either (for the record, I belong to 6 Mustang boards and regularly contribute to three of those). Just like I've been doing here it would be strictly about a turbo four having an appropriate level of entry point power, and letting the mpg fall wherever it may without commenting on that. Truth is, there just hasn't been a whole lot of talk about fours in the places of those sites that I commonly visit - on one forum a new "S550" forum opened up only a week ago and has at this moment a total of three threads and less than 40 total replies. Make your own conclusion. I have no idea what the Dodge boys are thinking, as I have zero presence on their message boards. Norm |

And Norm I get your opinion I just was tweaking you a little and wondering if the Mustang faithful ( my wife drives a 2010 mustang GT) was looking forward to getting 4s in place of 6 bangers.

The turbocharged four cylinders are necessary to offset the V8s for CAFE standards. That's all. We're not getting rid of V8s anytime soon. The LT series of engines should have made that evident for you with all the fuel-saving technology integrated into them. Again, if you want a V8, THEN BUY A V8. WGAS.

The only ones that keep pushing that line are the ones trying to turn this into a thread about the government.

It had crossed my mind that I spend enough time here that folks might have started to wonder. I've since read that entire "S550" forum, and so far there's more chatter about the upcoming IRS than about an Ecoboosted four (though there is at least one person strongly in favor of that). Even the possibility of an Ecoboost V6 has gotten more attention. Time will tell, once more people stumble into it. Norm |
