4.6 question

[RugerP97DC]

I drove a 2005 GM LS. THe acceleration was downright ANEMIC!!!! As soon as teh TPS senses 1/2 throttle, it seems to cut back the power. Then I drove a 2006 Mustang GT. Same freaking engine and the GT just kept building power. Not 20 dollar accelerations mind you, need a Big Block for that shit, but very strong. Does one have to reprogram the EPROM to get that power or is there more to the question of lost power?

It is not the same engine at all.

Marq = 2V 239hp
Mustang GT = 3V 300hp

The Stang probably also has more agressive RAR.

Also I have heard negative thing about the throttle-by-wire set up.

Not to mention the GM is a fatass compared to the stang.

This one had teh 3V Engine. I ran the VIN. Late 95 model ex-rental.

What?

No panther has ever come from Ford with a 3V.

:stupid:

No panther EVER had/has a 3V engine.

According to the local dealership Shop supervisore, Hertz and Budget got some. They were test bed vehicles. The new Panthers, due out in 07 or 08 (Yes Panter is getting redesigned NOT scrapped!!!! ) will have the 3v engine.

:picsorst:

I wanna see before I'll belive it.

[texasvic]

They were test bed vehicles.

I call BS on that.

Do you have the VIN?

[RugerP97DC]

Still looking, not finding anything. The local dealsership is a mantinance point for Hertz, and this guy tells me he has worked on 12 Panthers 05 models with the 3V SOHC 4.6L. I woudl guess he would know the difference.

[texasvic]

Get back over there ASAP and take a picture of the engine.

I would be very excited if it is a 3V.

[RugerP97DC]

The car is over on the other side of town on a Budget sales lot. It would be late tomorrow befoer I can post a pic. (If I can get one!!)

I don't care get that picture NOW!



Just kidding mang, whenever you can.

[Blaze86Vic]

I'm not kidding, NOW!!!!

This would be pretty major if it's true. Usually we hear about something of this magniture though an article 6 months in advance.

This would mean that we have us a new Impalla SS (96 style) eater.
