I hope they keep the bonnet bulge too to disginguish the v8s to the 6's. but lets wait an see on how the performance figures turn out. its gonna get intersting if it all goes ahead.whoo cant wait.Eaton superchargers have an idle air bypass, so they don't boost all the time, so at cruising speeds it will most likely be making no boost.Economy should be better than the 5.4. Dual independent VCT, lower weight, more efficient engine and slightly smaller capacity. Mustang V8 also has electric power steering which reduces consumption, Falcon might have it too.
