Seems Detroit is tired of trying to out Japanese the Japanese and instead are increasing going back to doing it the American way.
Proof:
Dodge's Viper Dodge's V10s GM's LS1 and LS2 pushrod V8s GM's Corvette Chrysler's 5.7L and 6.0L Hemis Chrysler 300 Sedan Ford's Bullett Mustang Ford's Mach 1 Mustang Ford's 2005 Mustang Ford's GT-(40) Supercar
Near misses:
Pontiac's GTO Mercury's Marauder Chevy's SSR Plymouth's Prowler Ford's T-bird
And now, maybe, this:
From Hemmings:
"Performance junkies having been hearing for years that overhead cam V-8s are where it's at. But the sheer pulling power of torque is what performance fans live for, and you don't get monster torque without pushrods. GM knew it with the LS-series V-8s and Chrysler nailed it down with its new Hemi V-8. Now we're beginning to hear that Ford may be seeking to abandon -- or at least augment -- its recent modular SOHC v-8 configuration: Informed sources at Ford tell us that a new pushrod 6.0L engine, code-named Hurricane, is on the drawing board now. It's still a long way off -- sources say 2008 or 2009 -- if, in fact, it even arrives at all. Hurricane is said to be in the competition with another larger SOHC-type engine, and a decision will be made to choose one over the other in the coming months. The bad news: These engines would be introduced into the ever-heavier F-series truck line, possibly setting up another two-V-8 format as Ford maintained for years (i.e., FE/385, Windsor/Cleveland, etc). The good news: There's no reason (yet) why Hurricane couldn't be integrated into a car line (or two) somewhere done the line."
NoOp Comment: Yeah, a carline like Mustang!!!!
