Re: 350 hp V-6 Mustang???

I continue to be skeptical of the fuel economy benefits of a turbo V6 vs. a V8 when they are making the same power- especially when the naturally aspirated D35 is thirsty already (I know b/c I drive one every day).

Having said that, if Ford can keep the weight of the EcoBoost Mustang to 3400-3500 lbs., it should be competitive acceleration wise vs. the much heavier Camaro and Challenger.
