    They are direct injection as well, as used by some of the other OEs these days. That might make it a bit tougher initially to get more ooomphh out of them, but I'm sure that the smart dudes will figure it out.

    BTW, prototype SHOs are running low 14s / high 13s at 100+ mph, not bad for 4,100 lbs. ;D

      The new Taurus looks rather nice. Maybe my wife would be interested in one of those. Is there any chance that a five or six speed manual will be offered with this new engine?

        Likely not, in a car that size anyway. I believe that the Taurus will have a paddle-shift 6-speed auto. The sport package on the redone 2010 Fusion with the 3.5NA 265 hp engine has the same thing ... I'm thinking that's the way they will be going with a lot of stuff.

        The 3.5 TT Ecoboost will likely find its way in to the Mustang within a few years as well, that would be a nice package. More HP than the current GT, and less weight over the nose.
