    Twin-turbo Mustang? No thanks, I'd rather have a twin-supercharged Camaro.

    (Yes those are superchargers, not turbos.)

    A 383 is a big block Mopar, a "Hemi" has hemispherical heads, and a Roadrunner is a tarted up midsized sedan. Rest on your laurels or ignore your heritage and the world goes to hell without you.

    The world remembers Tina's Proud Mary and Madonna's American Pie while Fogerty and McLean fade into obscurity. As good as the re-fried products may have been, they still severed the continuity of our collective memory. And now Ford is pecking at the carcass of our fallen elder like flea ridden vultures.

    Shame on Ford for letting their marketing gnomes trample our posterity. Aren't there any real gear-heads left there? My god.

    How about a nice red Hundai Cobra Wagon or a Peugeot GT-40? Eh? Hurts don't it?

    @KillerBRacing: It's an engineering codename for an engine in development. It won't end up on the production vehicle or be associated with the production engine. Marketing isn't involved here.

    @KillerBRacing: If the commercials, literature, engine block, vehicle badging, or dealerships refer to anything about the 2012 GT500 as Road Runner, I owe you a beer. I"m having a good time reading all these angry posts. It's an engine codename that has made it past the engineering geeks due to the power of the Internetz.

    @Parramore: Don't forget guys, Time-Warner/Warner Bros own the "Road Runner" brand - they can license it to anyone they want, providing the former contracts for a given sector of industry are expired.

    Carry on.

    P.S.: Look for my Road Runner-branded cheesy biscuits soon at your local bakery.

    i think the road runner name was given by pickuptrucks.com

    so quit making comments about it.

    so do you think this new engine, will be the choice for smuggling illegal immigrants across the mexico/u.s. border.
