[QUOTE="dude1782, post: 1252469, member: 21025"] Now the gt500 is finally set for 2019 so all those people who waited 4 years will finally be able to get one. Although I hear the 2020 hybrid mustang will be even faster so I'm waiting for that one.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 03:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:32 PM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] The rumor of the large displacement gas v8 stems from ford's plans to replace the current 6.2 and 6.8 gasser engines in the super duty. Clickbait articles and v8 dreamers then reasoned it could be a raptor option much like the previous generation. The fascination with it is that a naturally aspirated v8 with similar performance to the ecoboost would have much more/better aftermarket performance potential, better sound, and potentially better reliability. Personally, I think an 8 cylinder would be pretty neat with aftermarket cam, headers, exhaust, and a tune and when the time comes a sweet Whipple supercharger. Ecoboost performance is great in stock form (some may not agree). Although the aftermarket potential argument is pretty reasonable. A lot can be accomplished with a tune and bolt ons, however when you upgrade the turbos you begin to lose low end which is a big deal on this application. This is not the case with superchargers. Sound seems to be a much bigger deal to some people than others and then there's even more arguments about which sound and it's a mess. The case for reliability is also subject to skepticism (how many problems really are there and has it been long enough to make a judgement). [/QUOTE]
