Since when do they "know" it's getting a flat plane crank? Where is the proof that this flat plane crank thing is anything more than the rumors perpetually claiming the S550 would lose ~200 pounds, or that the next Corvette is always going to be mid-engined? All I've seen is a handful of youtube videos that sound suspiciously like a killer cross plane crank V8. Note that not one mass market V8 from any manufacturer, regardless of price, uses a flat-plane V8. This is neither by accident nor coincidence. The simple physics and economics of the situation lean heavily in favor of this being nothing more than low-brow automotive journalism, shamelessly trying to keep the cash cow from this totally unsubstantiated rumor alive for as long as possible. That being said, I certainly wouldn't complain about being wrong on this one either.

Now if they could just shrink the car down to FRS size I would actually want a mustang.

I stopped reading online car magazine articles some time ago and instead have focused exclusively on online car magazine comment and feedback threads... Priceless.

In reply to yamaha:

When it comes to hearsay, I'd much rather be proven wrong as a skeptic than right as a "believer".
