Awesome video!
Personally, I don't care one bit how many cylinders it has (or hasn't  ) - its an awesome looking car and it sure gets the job done. Driving it and feeling the urge and grip at 180 mph, the sound would be music to my ears. Just because Ford decided a six cylinder was the right engine for the new GT doesn't mean the V8's in our Cobras aren't cool anymore.
I'd bet that the real issue many have with the engine selection is the amount of stake they have in the "ricers suck, no replacement for displacement, V8's rule, etc, etc." rhetoric. Now that Ford's flagship, the king of the hill of US performance cars is running a six, the fear is that the ricer crowd will be one up on us now and scoffing at the big heavy lumps in our engine bays.
But don't worry - soon enough, electric power will rule and even those hated four and six bangers will join us and our big V8's in dinosaur land.
