Apples to oranges because of forced induction, but the 5.4 is a new ball game cause the displacement gap is closed up a bit.

is there a good explanation as to why the 95-04 mustangs didnt have the 5.4? didnt the f-150's have that engine all along?

i like the car alot...its powerful and great looking. The weight is a bummer though...especially combined with the gas milage.

Had that car been 3200-3500 lbs i may have bought my first mustang.

BTW...recently a bone stock C6 vette with exhaust bolt ons and a Procharger running 12 lbs just made 700+ rwhp to the tires!!!!
