Since this is an unfounded rumor thread, I wonder if the new 7.3 gas motor Ford is working on will be in the Mustang's future.

Highly doubt it, it's a pushrod truck engine that's being made to replace the 6.2. If there were any intentions of putting a big V8 in a mustang, they probably would've done it with the 6.2 by now

Where did you get "push rod" that's NOT what I heard. Ford hasn't produced a push rod V8 since 2001 when the Windsor engine was finely retired. The Modular V8 and V10 took over and later the Boss 6.2L SOHC, and push rods were history. The new V8 will be at least a SOHC if not a DOHC design.

Regardless of all the guessing, Gen7 design will still be dictated by any updated federal safety/EPA/emission/cost standards, plus FoMoCo's revised international platforms (which, under Hackett's plans, must be individually profitable). I've been around long enough to know that concept vehicles are nothing more than the "wet dreams" of designers, and that the showroom products are usually disappointments. Still, Mustang will continue to hold a strong fan base as long as the driving thrill is continually improved.

Am I the only one that's not a fan of the gigantic diameter rediculous wheels? Their has to be a point where wheels just can't get any bigger without being incredibly suspectible to any minor pot hole and curb.

Holden is selling RHD Camaros in Australia, maybe there's a chance they will bring these to other countries in the future too. But atm it's not even clear if we will see another Camaro in Europe since the facelift is not announced here
Holden/HSV are doing the RHD conversion in Melbourne so unlikely to see these vehicles being exported. GM USA will need to produce RHD vehicles to enable export to RHD countries around the world. This is only likely to happen if sales make it worthwhile. Reports in Australia indicate that 550 Camaros are being sent to Australia for HSV to convert and all have been pre-sold.

We’ve been having this debate in our office for a couple weeks now. The strongest indications we are getting is that it will be a SOHC, based on the manufacturing location and the product family it is evolving from.

I thought so too, but isn't it being manufactured at Windsor? And aren't all of Ford Performance's pushrod crate engines also manufactured at Windsor? The biggest thing that threw me off is I thought the 7.3 was going to be a member of the Modular family, but it doesn't look that way, as the source said "the first in a family of new engines", making me think maybe they're going to get into also producing smaller pushrod V8s for their trucks and SUVs (I don't think a Coyote would comfortably fit in an explorer)
