Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Returns with All-New 412hp 5.0-liter Engine [Video]

nederina i work for bmw and your right the E92 v8 at 4.0L does produce that kind of power, but at the same time i bet the ford 5.0L doesnt cost $24,000 for a short block like bmw, this is more bang for buck, not precision and power.

yep, they can sorta. they can get that performance out of a 4.0 v8 even if that v8: -would be short 95lb ft of torque -requires premium fuel -sit in a car that achieved lower gas mileage than the mustang (14/20mpg vs this mustang's 17/25 or 16/24) -sit in a car that costs so much more and isn't even really comparable to the mustang.... but you're right. bmw could get that hp (only hp) with their 4.0 v8. but... what's your point?

radmeister, Ford Australia uses the old 5.4 liter V8, this new V8 is a 5.0 and has Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT).

I'm all for being smart about costs to survive. But, what happened to giving customers options even if we pay a little extra? I think American automakers would win back some loyalty if they pushed a modern version of COPO. BMW, Audi, Porsche, Ferrari et al have stepped up and really pushed customization from special paint to body/wheel accessories and performance enhancements. I got lucky. The Ford dealer I purchase through is authorized Roush and regularly orders FRP fitted models. They also go out of their way to make sure you know your install options. Most dealers (my experience as a buyer and professionally) don't really care about what they get off the truck. Sales people don't know anything about trim codes. "Oh, what's a pack?". "Yea those Goodyears are Limited Slip."
