Re: Ford's New V8 Going To Rock You Like A Hurricane!

I don't think "Cleveland" would resonate with too many modern buyers,
because the name doesn't have a long storied past like the Hemi did.
However, in the future, I'll bet a few new Mustang owners refer to
their Hurricane's as Clevelands.

or better yet, "Cobra Jet"!

Not for the engine name itself, but perhaps for the high-output
package.

Instantly recognizable to those who also recognized the "hemi" moniker

John,

I think Ford is finally fully in touch with what makes a Mustang a
Mustang. I think we'll see a whole slew of novelty Mustangs in the
future.
