Yeah..I figure Ford will use its 3.5L with around 260 in v6 models...
 
Rumor has it the F-150 and Mustang will get the non DI 3.7L V6 from the Lincoln MKS as it is being engineered for RWD already in that car. I believe it puts out 280 HP out of the box on 87 octane and torque is in the high 260s IIRC.
 
If that does become the case then the base V8 absolutely must be upgraded or it almost won't be worth the extra $$ for 20 more horses (but a good bit more torque still).

Dark candy apple red metallic???? by 08pony

DOes anybody have an 08 in dark candy apple red? I have seen conflicting info. on the internet. The Ford brochure says it is a clearcoat metallic. I have seen other references to the color on the internet, but without yhe words "clearcoat metallic". I have found several stories about the new 08 colors. The other new colors are always referenced as a clearcoat metallic. The DCAR does not have that designation. Did Ford revise the color after the brochure was printed? I would hope at the minimum that it is a clearcoat.

They're all clearcoat. It's probably metallic and they just didn't print it correctly. You can check dealer inventory at forddirect.com and see if any local dealers have any cars in that color.
 
The dealers will also have a chart with actual paint samples so you can at least see it even though it will be a small sample.

I tried FordDirect.com but they do not show 08 inventory for mustangs. As for dealer, they referred me to brochure which says it is metallic clearcoat.

Ask for the paint samples and see for yourself. They should have them by now. If not it should be any day. This is a chart with actual paint chips.

ALSO it appears that Triptunes and Mobile Ease are getting installed at the ramp? I'm not sure if this is true. I just noticed that a car showed up with the rear splash guards already installed.

I can't imagine they look too good on a Mustang.

Apparently Ford changed the appearance of DCAR. There are two DCAR 08 Mustangs listed on Ebay. The sticker just says Dark Candy Apple Red Clearcoat. It appears the color is no longer a metallic. That is a pretty major error in their brochure.

Why are you assuming the idiot on ebay is correct? by mschmal
