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

I agree that we'll see some more specialty models but I'll bet we only
see a Hurricane-based Mustang in concept form; like the Boss 351 V10
from a few years ago. I don't see Ford spending the the time to certify
and package that motor when they've proven that the Modular motor can
easily make 500 bhp reliably and the owners and aftermarket have proven
the motor can make well over 1000 bhp relatively easily. Safety,
insurance, and traction are already easily blown away so why bother
fitting something else in there. DC and GM don't have any better
formula for those issues :).

The flip side is whether or not Ford wants to get that motor into stock
racing for some reason. Then we might see a larger production run of
some vehicle to get the motor homologated.

It'll be fun to see :)
