While I'm a Mustang fan, I recognize that one of the sweetest sounds you'll hear in your life is the idling of a Chevy 350, V8 engine. Only thing, engine wise, that would top that sound is a revving sweeter Ford 305, V8 engine.
With all the technology and engineering that have come through the years, new 4 cylinders cars run better than old 6 cylinders. 6 cylinders run better than old 8 and the new 8's are getting ridiculous. Except for the early 90s Supras, RX-7, 300ZX and 3000GT, those are still killing it nowadays.
I'll pick an 8 cyls. Mustang over any other muscle car but, further than Mustangs, Camaros or Mopar, trying to get us together for once, what's your preference in engines? 4, 6 or 8? The option "All of them" is for cars above 8 cylinders i.e. Audi R8, Dodge Viper, etc.

I've gone thru stages, like we all do, but I'm really hoping for the development of technology that makes these middle east countries bankrupt. If they would invest 1/4 of the efforts into high mpg vehicles as they do into cell phone technology we would be making better progress in the middle east. I think the only way to defeat such evil is to dry up their banks. I feel the only way to do that is to develop vehicles that essentially neuter them as a threat. It's an unrealistic dream but one I hold onto. I have to vote for a hippy mobile. In my post-divorce financial nightmare, I'm grateful for the tiny 255,000 mile having Hyundai that my brother in law gave me for free. The funny thing is that in 2010 I had a new Camaro and a Ram 1500. Talk about hypocritical...lol.

SGT(P) (Join to see) - I know what it is, but prior to 2014 they'd. Flex fuel badge and feature it in their advertising. My truck has no such badge, wasn't advertised as such, though I believe it remains flex fuel capable, but a not sure as there is no ethanol where I live.

Sir, the explanation was for SGT (Join to see) I tagged you just as part of the response. Pretty much every gas station is selling fuel with at least 10% of ethanol, I think the post station has it. But in Puerto Rico they had to put it out clearly that the gas was coming with ethanol since there's still cars that their fuel system doesn't work with it.

LCDR (Join to see) This year SEMA will be interesting, a 900hp 2.3L, 4 cls Mustang? It is hard to believe even for a fan like me...

LCDR (Join to see) absolutely, but I don't think I've seen this amount of HP in such a small engine. I know the 2JZ is capable of +1000hp but is a 3.0L In line 6 which is completely different to a 2.3L 4.
