Just seen a Taurus Commerical V6 365hp WTF
How the heck did they pull 365hp out of a V6, and why in the world did they not put it in the MUstang which only has 311

Not sure why they didn't put that in the new V6 mustang but the price starts at $37,770 .

The SHO has the 3.5L Twin Turbo EcoBoost. I bet they didn't put it into the Mustang because it has to be a lot more expensive than the 3.7 NA V6

last i checked the SHO is turbo which means camaro is still better. Remember the bowtie makes everything OK and 10 times better than any blue oval.

Its a TWIN turbo! Thats how. STS has a project in the works for the Camaro V6...a single turbo and they are getting about 500 HP and 440 TQ on 6psi. (It dynoed at like 450 rwhp and 398rwtq I do believe)

YeeAAaa!

Can you imagine the bragging rights they would have though?

The only way to get that engine is to go with the SHO model, which is $6000 more than the Limited model. Would you pay $6k on top of a 2LT Camaro just to have a twin turbo V6?

Think about it this way...

The 365hp Ecoboost V6 gets 17/25mpg.

The 400hp L99 V8 gets 16/25mpg.

So much for V8 power with V6 fuel economy.

That's not completly accurate, you have to take into consideration the weight of the Taurus

I don't get your logic, do you mean turbo's suck?
