Anyone remember the Firebird Sprint? OHC 6 w/4 barrel was Pontiac's version of the SVO. Popular car with smaller HO engine in it. http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2013/06/SIA-1967PontiacFirebird_01_1500.jpg http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads//2013/06/SIA-1967PontiacFirebird_05_1500.jpg 3.23 FD, no wonder it was a turd!

Im gonna guess its a EcoBoost 6. My younger brother had a 3.8 with long tubes and a Aerostar intake that sounded similar. A turbo 6 could be nasty if the aftermarket support comes with it, Turbonetics, wink wink. Only way to know if it is FI is the intercooler hanging under the bumper but with the drapes closed theres no way to tell. Id put a Ecoboost (with a turbo timer/boost controller/tune) in a GT500 chassis against any Commode(Camaro to you Bowtie pricks) or maybe even a Vette on a 1/4 strip. If I remember the specs, the Mustangs are the lighest of the F Body cars, less motor weight with the same or more HP/TQ just makes it faster and handle better.
Possible competition for the proposed Buick GN? Any rumors of another Dodge Daytona(Dart with a turbo)? |

Ford will slot this new turbocharged four as premium powerplant between its naturally aspirated 3.7-liter V6 and the naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V8. At last mention, the automaker said the direct-injected, all-aluminum engine will develop 305 horsepower and 300 pound-feet of torque, returning the best fuel economy of the three powerplants in the process. |

My brother has an 86 SVO 1 of 87 Comp prep car. ( factory race car ) it is fun to drive ,   One of my managers at the place I worked at in HS had one. Neat car for it's day. Those cars had a switch on the console for Premium vs Regular fuel. I suppose they didn't have the electronics in place to safely vary the timing. |

Seems like they should just ditch the v6 in favor of the 4cyc turbo. Quoted:
Quoted:
When I think of a Mustang, I don't think of a V6... much less a four.  Seems like they should just ditch the v6 in favor of the 4cyc turbo. The 6 is probably cheaper to produce due to sharing it across platforms and not having to buy turbochargers and IC's from outside companies. So if you want the turbo, it's probably going to be at a premium I like this. Turbo 4's are usually good for smacking around V8's and derpy bros in modded diesel trucks |

It's always fun. |

Quoted: What is the Tq split on those under normal conditions? Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I love my GTI, and love boost, but I'm tired of front wheel drive! R What is the Tq split on those under normal conditions? I am not certain. Still FWD bias as with any Haldex setup, but no torque steer, even when making power far beyond stock levels. When not under load the standard Haldex decouples the rear for economy. That is (relatively) easily remedied, however. It's not an ideal setup but if he loves his GTI, except for the FWD, the R seems like it should be a natural consideration.

But its a 68 with the 4.1L and a 4 speed. Runs surprisingly good for a 6cyl from the 60s. The non power drums on mine are terrible though. |

STIs spank modded Cummins (think the chip and intake turds) all day every day.

Wonder if the car has collector value in it's future, if not resto mod it. I think it will have value one day. |

They made a very small number of 4 speed sprints less than 1000 in sixty eight if I recall correctly. Value seems to be inline with the higher end V8 cars. I have pics saved on my hard drive at home. I will get them up tonight. My grand father bought it new while stationed in Germany. I have thoughts of forced induction and tire smoke every time I drive it. Not to mention fond memories of adventures with grandpa from when I was younger. |
Sell it after 60K miles.
