alright guys here is the info I found out today when I went to a amazing car show in albuquerque---
--they hadn't heard anything about a upcoming 40 valve 4.6 dohc
-- the future of marks (9,10, etc.) is not very promising what so ever
-- they are not really trying to contend with caddy's
--they have a new car coming out called the mks which will include a 5.4 engine which they expect to put out about 320 horse power,its going to be a 4 door sedan.
-- no 2 door models for now.(and I forgot to ask about the towncar till I just left, sorry)
--zephyr will most likely be introducing a v8 model in the near future.
---- And finally they told me to keep my mark viii, in which I replied, if all goes as expected I will have it until I die!

*****other cool things,

1) ford has a 4 dr prototype called -427 with a v10
2) the new saleen has a 3v 4.6 with 550hp with a upsidedown supercharger
3) the shelby/cobra gt500 is nice as hell, somewhere around 450hp with a supercharger that puts out 8.5 psi out
:)
 
How does this upside down supercharger give more power?

It must use the same theory of turning around the directional rims on the Mark VIII and getting 20 more HP!!!

YOU KNOW IT!...how do you think i run so fast?
 
Do you think it was worth the $8 to get in? I was considering going to that show but wasn't sure it'd be worth that.

no $hit, where do you live?
 
I live in Albuquerque. I only wanted to see the Cien anyway but oh well. I am quite the cheap bastard and I admit it.

And I have no idea about the Saleen motor specifically but it seems to me that having the charged air move upwards from the blower, then around and down would allow it to cool some. Might also make it easier to run an intercooler.
