I think this is the "point" of this debate. The supercharged and turbocharged cars are the wave of the future. How do we meld them into the Stock and Superstock classes. I think by the end of this year that the CJ Mustang will show its capability especially if one shows up in SS/B form. I believe the twin turbo, direct injected V6 Ecoboost engine is more of a threat in S/S and Stock than the CJ. Ford will be putting this engine in a Mustang that anyone can buy off the showroom floor in the next year. The potential of this engine will be mind boggling. Ford was on the right track with turbocharging in the 80's (SVO Mustang) but now with dual OHC's, direct injection , two turbos and a quantum leap in electronics have made this a formidable piece. I think we can all bitch and moan but it's not going to change whats coming in our sport. My hat is off to Ford for being on the cutting edge of power adders with small cubic inch motors and world class technology and most importantly staying off the government nipple. Ronzello may not be the only one racing a V6 Ford in the future. I wonder if this piece will turn 12 grand in the lights. Lol. This is really motorcycle technology. Maybe there's room in the bike classes.
