Ford has always had the capability to keep up with the camaro. It saddens me that they have not pulled out the big guns earlier.

the vw GTI's have the same noise to put the "boost" in the cabin. gay haha.

at least hte LS1 won't suck trying to fill oil. that 5.0 engine has no oil filler neck = spill city, even with a funnel.

Sounds pretty cool actually. In these cases, do they just plumb the intake into the firewall and like at the pedals, or what?

Well if that's the only thing the lsx has on this coyote motor I'm more than happy

I bet they will just use the "neck" from the current one for production.

I dunno. I know the GTI one ran all the way back on the passenger side and dumped out under the glove box or something. Most people removed them, and didn't get any power gains.

I bet if you cut off the tip of the mustang one, it will suck in foot odor, probably good for like 15 hp!

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.

How is FORD behind???? last time I checked, the first of these new camaro's were sold within the last year or so while FORD has been selling mustangs in the newer body style for years now??? the 2010 mustang is a newer design of a product that FORD has been making a profit off of the whole time GM was holding their D!@ks???? So finally GM gets back into the game and that puts the only US auto maker to NOT ask for government handouts behind???

I agree that Ford needs to put this in thew new mustang if they don't want to start losing ground though....
