One or two years a platform, you can get a DOHC engine, and that's DECADES? If it
were a continual, EVERY YEAR option, then I would agree, but it's not.

So, the SVT Cobras had a 4.6 4V DOHC, 2 years here, 3-years there, a DECADE?
1996–1998, 1999, 2001, 2003–2004 - STOP, that's EIGHT years, oh, juts shy a
decade.

The 4-valve DOHC version of the Modular engine was introduced in the 1993
Lincoln Mark III, and was used WELL before the Mustang. YOU CAN SAY, FORD
has been using a DOHC for decades across platforms. You said they were using
DOHC in the Mustang for DECADES. That's not 100% true.


Then you had FOUR years, from 2007 to 2010, with the 5.2s in the GT500, and KR,
not a Decade either, that's four years for the 05-10 run of the S197s. Then the
Coyote in 2011 to 2020, so that's ONE continual decade of a DOHC motor planted
in a MUSTANG. I do not consider DECADES, when it's spaced out, not continual.

You want to say 2.5 decades, when it is not a continual, or consecutive run of
mustangs with a DOHC engine for EVERY SINGLE YEAR, since 1995, when 1996 was
the 1st year for the DOHC mustang SVT.

So, go on with your DECADES for mustang, when the sporadic years don't equal
2.5 decades total.

YOU SAID MUSTANGS, not other models, so don't add your OTHER models to
justify your decades for MUSTANG claim. Decades for FORD; you bet, but for
Mustangs, NO.
You exude female energy. How old are you? You try and distort the narrative of the debate to fit you argument. Ford first started putting DOHC motors in Mustangs back in 96. That's almost 2.5 decades. But I play along with this new narrative that you're trying to push. 96-99 Cobras used a DOHC 4.6L, 2000 Cobra R a 5.4L DOHC, 01/02 Cobras used a 4.6L DOHC motors. (and yes a limited # of 02 Cobras were sold in Australia) In 03/04 you had both the Cobra and Mach 1's with DOHC 4.6L. There were no factory Mustang sold with DOHC motors in the year models of 05/06. In 07-12 the GT500 which were SVT vehicles so factory Fords used a 5.4L DOHC. In 13-14 the GT500 used the 5.8L DOHC motor. Obviously the GT's got the Coyote in 11 up until press, along with all other models of Mustang that were introduced since 2011 using DOHC motors regardless of cylinder count. So all but 2 years of Mustang getting at least one model of Mustang to use a DOHC motor since 1996. That = 22 years.
