Do you guys think it is a viable alternative? I know I'd be interested. :D

Why not put the same engine in the Focus?

The diehard V8 guys would run away screaming, en masse, to the Challenger and the Camaro. Sure, it's a logical step but can you see the "baddest" Mustang on the street being powered by a turbo 4?
Well, technically I can but realistically unless all the new muscle went to turbo 4s and 6s, it's not going to happen.
For Ford to be the only one moving to a 120-150HP/L design... that's gutsy, quick-thinking and pretty much cutting edge. When was the last time we said that about Ford? :huh:

Personally I like the sound of a "Euro" Mustang - lightweight with IRS and a turbo V6 (yeah, I know - doesn't make sense on some levels) - but I don't think you'll ever see a 4 in a Mustang again ... and Adam, the last time we talked about Ford that way was the launch of the 1985 Taurus.
