Buy the V8

@jwserge thats more than the previous modles v8! pretty good but it cant be more than the new v8.
-
305hp for as much as 3.7l is too little.
-
@zur2122 no its chevy not ford, thats why chevy was the heart beat of america

@man36021 No, the Ti-VCT does NOT alter lift and it does not alter duration... The only thing i does is to shift the Centerline angles of both in and ex cams, and hence also the LSA between them stepless (No new thing...Volvo has done that since 2002)... And your 50/50 ex/in stuff... Do you even have a clue about what you're talking about? I will be VERY interested in reading how you think changing the LSA and Centerline angles will change the ratio between in and ex valve time-area :)

@flyfaen1 There are differences in vvt system functions, and designs. Hate to break it to you, but most people know this. Fail
-
Not to disapoint you guy's.. But variable valve timing has been around on European engines since the 90's!!! Both Volvo and BMW started with "dual" VVT in 2002. The Japanese also, at least Toyota, Nissan and so on... Those systems only affect valve centerline angle, and lobe separation angles. Honda has used their V-tec system in some form or another since the 90's. Tho it both alternates duration, timing and lift through the switching between "rigid" cam profiles.

@pcfxer all right it's, twin INDEPENDANT variable cam timming, right? Dude, because this is a DOHC setup, each intake, and exhaust valve can be changed to a more accurate position. You aren't very good at this are you?
-
@man36021 Twin Independent ONLY refers to the timing being different on ONE bank of valves...Intake can have different timing on exhaust. In the NAME, the timing can not be changed on a cylinder-cylinder basis which is the only way the Ford system would be more advanced than any other system.

@man36021 Where are your engineering credentials? Oh right, you don't have any. Here we go; Ti-VCT does not apply/variate valve LIFT. Nissan's 3.7L v-6 in the IPL G coupe actually produces 348hp and pollutes less than the Ford 3.7L (It even uses twin throttle bodies). VVEL is not only superior technology to Ford's Ti-VCT but also to Valvetronic and Porsche Vario-Cam.
Apple Pie, Baseball, And the Ford Mustang... America.
