I think some people are missing the point of the debate...

If warm martinis and strippers with small hooters come into being all the rage.... with the 'next gen'...

I am staying 'Retro'....

Well, deckman this has an upside... I won't have to keep spending money on new cars LOL.



^^^ This is really what you want your customers to see through the engine cover of your halo car? It's a supercar FFS, how emasculating!

Yep, or hybrid, or full-electric. But a stand-alone twin turbo is not exotic. It isn't a halo engine. If they wanted to drive the forward-thinking "eco" point home, they should have mated some electric motors to this to make it hybrid. That shows off the V6TT they're putting in everything and makes the drivetrain exotic, right up there with the Ferrari TheFerrari, McLaren P1, and Porsche 918. The whole point of the Ford GT is to make a statement saying "Look at what we can do." This... doesn't.

i agree but with most of your comments, its blasphany for a halo American muscle car to be a v6, especially because they have that magnificent engine in the new gt350
