2012 GT500 To Get Twin Turbos?

Postby quick5pnt0 » Thu Oct 01, 2009 4:02 pm

This topic is for discussion of the following:
http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/09/sp ... -f150.html

Scroll down the the end of the article for the line about the GT500. Here is a little snippet:
"Of course, our sources tell us that Ford is already working on a version of the Coyote V-8 that will separate itself from the rest of the future V-8 engine lineup. In cartoons, the Coyote is only beat by a Road Runner. Look for a twin-turbo 5.0-liter V-8, code-named "Road Runner," with well over 500-horsepower to debut first in the Mustang GT500 in 2012 and possibly, in F-150 Harley-Davidson edition pickups."

Personally I think this a little far fetched. Why? Because I just don't see why Ford would drop an already proven supercharger setup they've been using for years only to swap it out with a much more complicated (and likely more pricey) twin turbo setup. The only thing I can think of is maybe the turbo system is better on fuel economy.
