Can there be 'Green Muscle'?

Muscle Car Blog recently posted a rumor that an EcoBoost V8 may find it's way into a GT500 in the next few years.

Whether it does or doesn't, i was curious if any of you thought that the concept (regardless of manufacturer, Ford and Chevy both have direct-injection technology) of 'Green Muscle' would work?

I wouldn't hold my breath for a V8. The V6 produces a hundred horses more than my V7 Ford F-150. I can't wait till the wife picks up one in her next SUV. Now a V8 could be possible in a muscle car like a Mustang since it will be top dog. Now that would be something to see.

the newer generations of the ford motors are crazy the power they make for how efficiant they are.

I agree 100% , My 2005 Mustang GT 4.6 3 valve with Vortech H.O. ,Comp stage 4 cams with beehive springs is at 518 RWHP and gets around 25 mpg. Not the fastest car out there,but I'm satisfied.
