You guys act like we can just keep pumping out these huge V8 engines over the next 50 years because a v6 wont be ok with the GT500/pony car people. the age of muscle cars years ago died, and it can die again. restrictions can get to a point where its only feasible to make small turbo/electric cars. That day can happen. there are many more people in the world who dont care to drive big V8 sports cars. Most people care more about luxury, and fuel economy. so getting rid of these V8 engines will only hurt a small percent of car buyers (like my self).

i could easily believe ford is going to put a GT engine in the GT500.
