Posted 16/03/06 10:49 PM Posted 16/03/06 10:49 PM I'd say a super charged V8...If ford released it as a 6 they'd never hear the end of it, I'd say that anything baring the GTHO mark is something they are going to want to keep as 8's...(PS I though they weren't going to release a new GTHO because of current environmental requirements basically meaning it will never have the same level of the whoa factor as the original...)
