Most of us took the V6 plunge with our SHO by electing to buy a car that launches like a rocket with a engine growl and no smoke coming from the tires! I don't understand how so many ppl are down on the new GT because of the lack of a V8 engine. This is the muscle car of the future which I'm sure will sound great at WOT. It will be very disappointing if the 2016 SHO comes with the 2.7 instead of the 3.5 but I'm guessing being 1000lbs lighter with the 3.5 would make it an 11 second car and eat into the Mustang line. I still cannot wait to see the new model SHO but will hang onto mine for now especially if the 3.5 is not a option.

Just wait till the GT dominates race classes that the v8s can't even enter....
I do wish they'd make an SHO with the dual injection 600HP engine though.. I bet they have beefed up the tranny already for that one... that's a ray of hope.. have been contemplating a new one and keep current just for mods..I hope the 2.7 is only an option for the Taurus line.

The new explorer sport still gets the 3.5 but it's made for towing so it's anyone's guess on the sho.
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.

Unfortunately we had better come to accept that v8's are on the way out. New EPA laws are getting much more strict and v8's just don't meet the requirements. Word is here 2017 will be the last Mustang with a V8.

Entering the days where cylinders are going to be outnumbered by gears in the tranny...

Wojo... looks like a really retro move for Ford...
I remember when the Ford GT was first built specifically to beat Ferrari at the track.  They only made about 12 of those and they were pricey (still are!)... I think they are just trying to make a statement and feature the 3.5 GDI...
I would like to get specifics on what they changed when they tuned it to 600CHP... other than adding a MP fuel injection to the still used direct injection.
