<< It's too bad there isn't some "intermediate level engine"in the new
mustangs. Ford should make the SOHC 4.6 standard equip in the base mustangs.
(V6 Camaros put out the same hp & torque). The DOHC engine from the Lincoln
Mark VIII (285hp) should be standard in the GT's and the 305 hp cobra engine
should be an extra cost option in the GT's and they should built a DOHC 5.4L
(around 350hp) for the Cobra's!
Ahhh...if only I was in charge at FoMoCo.

I read in the July 5.0 Mustang that they tested a '97 GT 5sp w/ 3.27 gears and all it ran was 15.80@87.3mph. They then swapped in 3.73 gears and it ran 15.27@90.8mph. That makes the 318 DAK and the R/T faster than a stock 4.6 GT. Dodge builds a pretty good hot rod truck!
