I can't comprehend a word your saying? Why do you say that, because I'm using actual real world numbers as opposed to your rounded to your convenience numbers and ignoring your off-topic points about the GenSedan's V6?
The V6 engine made 43 hp with the addition of DIRECT INJECTION just go and look it up.
The V6 engine in the coupe is more efficient than the sedan with the 333hp rating.
When was the point HOW they got their numbers? We're talking about the end results. Like I said, keep up.
You can't compare base vs base with the GC because there is only one base for 2011.
Why can't I? Because it proves you wrong? I'm comparing the cheapest I4t to the cheapest V6.
And even in 2010 the horsepower difference for base vs base is 96 hp for a $3k upgrade to a V6.
Yes, using the current production GC's, the jump between engine options is cheaper for GC owners than Mustang owners. That was never a point of disagreement, the next engine refreshes were.
Mustang V6 Base - $23,105 - 305hp
Mustang V8 - $30,105 - 412hp
$7,000 = 107hp = $65.42/hp
GC 2.0T Base - $23,100 - 210hp
GC 3.8 - $27,600 - 306hp
$4,500 = 96hp = $46.87/hp <----Winner
What I'm trying to say is if the power difference is only 60-70 hp for 3k it will be worth it to some people like me who don't want to have to deal with turbo issues and love the feel of a N/A,
Personal bias towards turbos aside, paying $4500 for 59hp is silly. If they close the gap between the I4t and V6 performance wise, they're going to do the same with their prices. I wouldn't be surprised if they left the V6 prices the same and jacked up the I4t's price up another $2000 to get the $/hp number back where it currently is. Of course, this is all assuming they put the Sonata engine in the GC.
