Because hybrids can be damn fast:Never selling my 2015 GT. Hybrids are a waist of space.
My suggestion to the old school guys such as myself is to start hitting the scrap yards and stocking up on V8 parts. Those parts are going to be worth thousands of dollars once the gov't starts flooding the country with battery operated crap. I'll take a carbureted engine over hybrid any day of the week. Why would anyone want a Mustang that sounds like a hamster running in a wheel is beyond me.

I love the brutish, claymore effect of a gasoline powered V8 over the surgical hybrid but I won't ignore the performance potential that exists. The same arguments existed in the past, OH valve vs. flatheads, carbs vs. fuel injection, ecoboost I4 vs. V8. In the end the performance enthusiasts went for power over tradition and we all moved forward. Someday perhaps I'll have a hybrid pony in my stable. Someday perhaps but not today.
