2015+ GT350 Mustang official power specs: 526 HP / 429 LB-FT!

Traditional meaning common or usual. It is not a "Hybrid" nor is it a "false" FPC V8.

Apply that same tradition to a cross plane configuration where literally hundreds of firing orders can be chosen. There really is no "Tradition" within the Mustang heritage for a FPC V8. Also, the Ferrarri can't automatically be considered a "traditional" FPC config...


The Porsches 60 degree Boxer would be pissed... It certainly is a Traditional FPC BUT, only in Porsche tradition.

Hybrid means something different from non-traditional. It implies a combination of 2 technologies.

thePill beat me to it. :-)

So the voodoo has a non traditional fpc.

Great.

Thats all I was saying.

No, "Not a True FPC" and "Hybrid" was communicated initially. Telling me it's not a true FPC is confusing... It would have me thinking it adopted some Cross Plane features somehow.

Sorry bud, you get the next one...

I still dont understand whats with the disagreement here???

 

[grayforge]

I think we're all in agreement now.

Both Ford and Ferrari cranks are full, true, genuine, certified Flat Plane Cranks. Just different configuration. :-)

Bingo, which is exactly what I stated, which DK still refuted :headbonk:

Does anyone know if they've fitted a larger fuel tank? This was one of the major issues that I had with my e92 M3. A 16 gallon tank and a V8 meant I had to stop at the gas station more times than I was actually driving it and enjoying it.

It should have the same fuel tank. They would probably have to reengineer the chassis to get a larger tank to fit.

Just a slight exaggeration there..

You will be stopping for gas fairly often, I'd say. I will try to give you a general idea/guess based on my experiences. When I fill my 2015 GT the range shows 320 or 330 miles, which works out to about 20 mpg I've been getting in my daily commute. I wouldn't be surprised if the GT350 has a range more like 250 miles for my commute. Longer if it's all highway or shorter if you're really hammering on it.

That was one of the things I didn't like about my GT500. At least a 18 gallon tank would have been nice.

Ok, maybe just a little. :lol: The point I was trying to make was, I'm hoping I'm not visiting the gas station three or four times a week. I love the car, and it's not going to stop me from buying the car, but just an annoyance that I disliked with my previous vehicle.

Yup. 18 Gallon tank would have been great on my M3.

Do the actual cars fitted for racing get a fuel cell or run as is? My first thought about the smallish gas tank is weight of fuel. The engineers cut as much weight as possible from this car.

They use a fuel cell.
