No pictures?

That would be pretty cool. It also said that by 2013 that 80% of their lineup would have ecoboost engines(4 and 6 cylinder no doubt).

I still think it would be kinda cool to get a roller v6 mustang and swap an ecoboost 6 into it.

 

[Dasfinc]

Stupid question... but is the TrailBlazer Discontinued...? they only made the SS from 06-08 correct?

 

[willizm]

Yeah, I don't think the TBSS is made anymore. 06-09

 

[Mook]

ya....its not true.

They already confirmed a EcoBoost engine will be available in the Mustang. Hopefully the V6 of course. If not a bigger V6 or V8 (Boss designation maybe? lol ). They said years ago this technology would be the direction Ford took for years to come. I think it is a bright future for Ford and horse power lovers.

Fuck that. Give us a SHO or SVT Fusion.

 

[bikrboy128]

why not toss the SHO badge on everything. it worked wonders for chevy

 

[SHOmuff]

I prefer SVT over SHO.

 

[bikrboy128]

I prefer SVT over SHO.

the sho badge belongs on the taurus, nothing else.
chevy ruined it's SS badge by tossing it on every car on their lineup.

 

[SHOmuff]

I was picking up what you were putting down.

[Primalzer]

Fuck that. Give us a SHO or SVT Fusion.

This, although it would HAVE to be AWD, ecoboost, and manual transmission, and I don't think they will ever do that. If I had to deal with it being FWD so be it.

 

[ez112]

I totally agree with this SHO conversation. Being an ex SHO owner, that name in synonymous with only the Taurus.

What was once a special car is now not only sharing it's name and engine with everything, but now even the body will be the new Police Interceptor. Is the new SHO letting me down? And where in the fuck are the 10 or 11 second SHO's by now?

And from that article, no way, even with the ecoboost, will the SHO Explorer compete with an SRT8.

The SS badge was marginalized by marginal product. If every car they slapped it on was worthy of the SS moniker I wouldn't see a problem with it being on 15 different models.
