Yep, power is nice, but that is one of very few cars where I roll down my window when I'm next to it

The 4th room had the V8 Mustang but they did not provide any statistical data. However, Eco boost was listed on the V8 sheet. Just guessing but I bet it should delver at least 500 HP and probably get close to 30 MPG.

Firstly because it's not even out. Don't count out that a 2.3L EcoBoost with 310 hp could find its way into a Fusion because SHO is not going away anytime soon. If they wanted, Ford could easily have a Taurus SHO and a Fusion SHO
