Yeah, dude isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer I don't think.

My Dad's motor is coming along nicely:

Purty!

Heh did he get a pair of fishnets with that anodized purple slave cylinder? <3

[dodint]

Yeah, I know, right?

HYBRID MUSTANG...

[novicius]

Yep, looking forward to the deets.

I wonder if Ford is gonna retuned EcoBoost I4 for more peaky performance since there will be battery power @ 0 RPM? It's not like the upcoming 2018 Mustang EcoBoost needs any more low-end grunt: it's currently listing as 310 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque!

::

As an aside, here's the mod list to put a current Mustang EcoBoost repeatably into the 11's:

2015-2017 Ford Mustang EcoBoost Perf Pack w/. 3.55 gears & automatic transmission
+ Cobb Tuning AccessPort
+ MAPerformance intercooler (for multiple runs)
+ Ford Performance Half-Shaft Upgrade Kit
+ Slicks
+ Race Gas Additive
+ aftermarket tune


= best of 11.73 at 115 mph

It should drive only the front wheels.

AWD M00stang Eco? I'm fine with that too.

It'd be rad for sure - but probably impossible until we get "good" in-wheel motors.

But, it's gonna be a hybrid V8, because it has the power to offset the additional weight, and because it'll dramatically increase the EPA numbers to make them look better with CAFE, and because a hybrid V8 drivetrain translates directly into pickups and SUVs, and because a hybrid ecoboost creates a weird price point whereas a hybrid V8 creates a new tier with appropriate price premium to offset the higher cost.
