I really hope they don't throw turbos in it. Always been a fan of root style blowers & twin screws.

I'm with you but as you can tell from every other Ford car they are putting the Ecoboost on just about everything showing added fuel mileage and more power. It would only make marking sense to put something similar in their top of the line performance car to help boos sales of other cars as well

With CAFE emmisions looming its a pretty safe be that Ecoboost will lead the way.

That just goes back to when muscle cars were cut from production due to the gas crisis, granted this is different.

Just comes down to where you draw the line between performance & efficiency . On the GT model sure I can see a 50/50 split due to high production #'s. But on a Cobra?
