OH, PLEASE, PLEASE Tell Me It Isn't True!!

Guest 5 February 2005 08:33:24
 I'm officially in mourning, and will be for several days, maybe weeks.
The motor that could have been one of Ford's all-time greatest now
sounds like it'll never make it past the drawing board.

Read on... but first make sure you have plenty of hankies ready.
<sniff, sniff>

BlueOvalNews was told by Ford employees that the Ford Hurricane engine
program has been discontinued primarily due to financial concerns. The
Hurricane engine program was launched to fight Chrysler's venerable
Hemi engine.

An article published in Ward's "Ford Shelves Hurricane Engine Program"
by John D. Stoll said that Ford sent a memo to Ford employees working
on the Hurricane program that is was being discontinued.

The engine cancellation is attributed to a shortfall in available
funding from Ford, the belief that the appetite for large engines is a
temporary fad, and resources are needed for the continued development
of Ford's next generation V6 engine.

Because Ford gets slammed in every review for a new car like the 500 for
having shitty V6.

No, for those who followed cars since the early 1970s, there was
a clear sea-change in the early 1980s away from v8s (as an example)
engines with 130hp to more powerful cars. The technology finally
allowed it. Turbos, etc, started appearing more and more.
One day around 1986, there was the Buick GN, Mustang, Corvette,
Firebird, Camaro, and even "normal" cars were starting to sport more
hp per cu in. The public shifted away from the "K-Car" era to the
power era. Also, size started increasing. The Buick Roadmaster
appeared. I never though I'd see this kind of thing again.
