Ford's 4th Teaser All But Admits GT350 Debut
Ford is teasing the performance car announcement that it will make next week in Los Angeles in the fourth of five planned released.
Thus far the company hasn’t said what it plans to unveil, but the latest release makes it hard not to assume that the rumored GT 350 Mustang is on deck to debut. The teaser shows a silhouette of what looks like a widened Mustang body and the sound of a V8 growling at idle.

Ford’s previous teaser clip included company executives talking about the widespread adoption of turbocharging in its products is opening the company to new performance opportunities, something that people took to suggest that the new car – whatever it is – will use a turbocharged engine rather than the 5.2-liter naturally aspirated flat-plane crankshaft V8 tipped earlier this year on Ford’s own part site.

I don't know how Ford (or is it the auto journalists?) can get away with calling this a new car if it's just another Mustang variant. That's like saying the mustang v6 and the mustang eco boost are two different cars, And seriously for the price of one of these I'd rather buy anything (import, Japanese because German is shite too!) but one of these. Where does this extra money go anyways? I mean how much do extra cylinders cost these days? :-P On a side note, American car companies need to be focusing on reliability not sinking r&d funds into useless cars like this. Whoa. yes, I said useless because the fact is for most of us, cars like this are useless. So how much money goes into developing cars like this most of us will never buy or even test drive for fun vs putting that money into making the cars that most people actually drive, better, safer, more reliable? Building better quality products that can stand toe to toe with Asian imports instead of selling unreliable clunkers for the same (if we're lucky!) or more $$. That is the single biggest reason the "big 3" have all claimed bankruptcy. Just so it doesn't seem like I'm harping on Ford too much ... I think what they did with the F150 was smart (aluminum - shedding 750 lbs...) and I hope it works out in the long run.
