I think this might be the one modern American muscle car that actually looks appealing (to me). Ford's really stepping up their game and I guess late is better than not at all.

I like it.

High cr and hyper pistons means no boost tho, or very little for those brave enough to risk blowing it up.

Yes, but more bore spacing means when you upgrade the pistons, you can have a bigger motor too! Something the mod motors have needed from the start.

Not calling either of you liars...

Just saying MOST people cannot and would not be able to tell the difference when put to the test, even when they swear they can tell a difference.

FUEL ECONOMY (city/hwy) 6-speed Automatic 6-speed Manual
5.0L 4V Ti-VCT V-8 17/25 (est.) 16/24 (est.)
BASE CURB WEIGHT (POUNDS)
coupe/convertible
Manual transmission 3,603 (est.) 3,720 (est.)
Automatic transmission 3,658 (est.) 3,770 (est.)
Weight distribution (f/r) 54/46 (est.) 54/46 (est.)


For all those wondering about the weight, according to the spec sheet ford released, it looks like the manual GT will weigh around 3600 lbs.

That's not too bad. Way ahead of the competitors in the weight department.

Not bad, it has an all-aluminum engine which helps a little bit. It's still no lightweight, but it could definitely be worse. I'm still surprised that the automakers aren't trying to shed weight like crazy to help with fuel economy, but I know it always comes back around to cost.
