  • The end is near.... for the 5.0 Coyote

    Ford plans to kill the 5.0 and replace it with a 4.8. But, at least, it's still a V8.

    And I did hear they are planning a di 5.0 tt for the gt500 that will make 740+...

      What's wrong with keep8ng the same shit for 10 years or more like the old days. It's all about cost isn't it?

        Saw this somewhwre else

        The 4.8-liter V8 engine is said to feature direct- and port fuel injection, which allows for a higher compression ratio. In turn, this boosts horsepower and engine efficiency without the need for forced induction

            This is a direct result of the EPA (government) forcing their fuckage on all of us. I'm hopeful it doesn't happen but I know it's an eventuality.

                Does anyone have a 10 speed auto yet? I'm guessing by the time you cross a 4 lane intersection, coming off a green light, you'll be in 4th gear!

                    It'd be more fun if they built something the size of a BRZ, then dropped the TT5.0 740hp motor in it...maybe with AWD to help.

                      Yeah remember the great pushrod embargo in 1995 that forced ford to make shit 4.6 modular motors unchanged for 14 years. I'm sure this situation is very similar

                        Thankfully my 430 hp LT1 Trans Am wasn't affected. I like pushrods. Simple, effective, and cheap.

                          My Mercedes has a 7 speed. I like the extra gear.
