LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I don't know about the Challenger, but Ford and Chevy have been down the road already with the 4 bangers, could be a cool option, if they pump them up enough. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/flamethrower.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not before MILLIONS protested to Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LARRY BRUDZYNSKI Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yeah like the US would allow a Mazda engineered vehicle become the next Mustang???? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/boink3.gif Ford had the 2.3 and the 2.3 SVO which was pretty decently powered, as for Chevy they had the old Iron Duke 2.5 which SUCKED from day one. It lasted from 1982-1985. Wonder why???? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/drinkingdude.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Warman Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 the 2.3 turbo was available in GT's and SVO's , the 4 Cly GT's weren't popular due to the fact that the 2.3L turbo 4 cyl cost more than a V8 5.0L GT. What is lost on some is the balance of the car... For ground pounding torque, a V8 is the way to go.... For the "twisty bits", a healthy 4 cylinder is the way to go. A car that scoots around corners as if it were on rails is a refreshing change from having to man-handle a car with a heavy front weight bias... A tap of the brakes can be enough to set the front end of the car for the corner - after that, the only limit is the tires. Of course... we could all chip in and buy Grampy a Bugatti Veyron.....
