haha, your reference to HERTZ is hilarious. INdeed. what a good point, the allure of this ISF has largely been completely unmentioned in all reviews of the car, and that's that this car, will likely be 100 times easier to own an maintain once its off warranty compared to other cars in its category.Not sure if you're here to troll or here to share discussion but welcome.
As far as the new Mustang GT, it's an awesome machine. I actually like both the Camaro SS and the Mustang GT. Each have their pros and cons. Am I worried? Nope not at all. My ISF will still be running 5 years from now with no problems. Mustang...you'll see plenty as Hertz rental cars and used car lots being sold for dirt cheap. That doesn't do very well for resale value down the road either.![]()
Its interesting indeed, what is more interesting though is how much more could have been squeezed out of the ISF engine if it weren't for toyota's internal policy of 150k engines. Ford has no such design philosophy , HA! although I imagine a plethora of aftermarket options coming avail for that engine soon.I'm sure you guys seen the specs on the new 5.0 2011 Mustang V8 shown below.
412 HP and 390 lb-ft of torque vs. IS-F 416HP and 371 lb-ft of torque.
I have yet to see the powerband on the new Mustang but that is pretty impressive. You really can't compare these cars exact they have about the same size engine. I bet the IS-F will still be faster in a straight line and track due to the fast shifting auto as well as handling.
Thoughts?
What do you mean by 150k engines? If you are talking about mileage, there are hundreds of people driving Lexus SC400s from the 90s with well over 200k miles on them.
