While I love the 5.0l I ended up with, I really don't need 460hp. I would have really liked the 2.7 ecoboost in a Mustang, with a similar power figure to the Edge Sport (335 hp, 380 ft lbs)

2.3 just doesn't do it, and the 5.0l is nuts. Need something in between.

the current Coyote 5L is a wonderful engine. very flexible powerband, and it still revs up to the top end. I suspect it may feel a bit lazy because of its displacement and a heavier flywheel.

maybe fuel economy is decent because of gearing. i think the standard 5L gots some pretty tall final drives. performance package cars got a nicer off the line feel with shorter final drive.

but having said that.... the voodoo 5.2L is just......
