Typically, a v8 weighs about 1 cylinder head more then a 4 cylinder plus a few pounds. The manifolding and intercooler for a turbo generally makes it a wash. I don't have the numbers but I would be surprised if they save over 100 lbs even with a tiny, non-intercooled, turbo. Keep in mind the turbo four block will have

Someone did read the article.

IRS was it's achilles heel last time they tried it. Seriously, I'd bet at least 25% of the 03-04 cobras have been converted to the live axle.

Because in their minds they have to leverage the Mustang name, so while we all really want a modern fox body that doesn't understeer, Ford secretly wants to make us drive a new Camaro with a ford grill on it.

I'm sure that's what their core "Mustang buyer" was clamoring for. More weight, complexity, and cost in a blue collar pony car.

Is ford really a good pick? When all the experts like Goldman, UBS, and Citi are saying "BUY BUY BUY!" it's a red flag to me... especially with oil at $102 and climbing.

Just to help you out, look the price of a piston and cylinder kit up.

At 19k it leaves some change in the pocket for a modern turbo, wheels they actually make sticky tires for, and a G50 conversion.

Have you ever tried to swap an engine with shitty chinese hand tools and welders?

The story is about American demand going down. Protip: see 4th gear.

Who didn't stay up for 24 hour F-zero marathons... especially with gameshark infini-boost turned on.

Mileage on a performance car can be a little scary but this car is genuinely only through about a third of it's lifespan. In panther miles this is only 30,000. I have to give it a NP as it sits but the dealer probably has some wiggle room.

I thought I was the only one that fantasized about a four valve town car. Thank you for validating my automotive perversion, the world is a little less lonely now.

Everything I know about nitro and steering, I learned from this game.

All the songs were awesome! Whenever I hear one of them on the radio I have to start announcing "Jake looks lost out there" or "Snake slams into first."

This is getting to be out of hand. I can't count the number of trailers that were stolen last year.

Yeah, here in the states for whatever reason the only diesel trucks we're allowed to have are thinly disguised locomotives with pickup truck bodies.
