Character

Voodoo 5.2 V8

"Mustang Shelby GT350. Flat-plane crank — Ferrari-like sound from a Ford. Oil consumption by design (track-focused). Some early units had engine tick (valve train). Otherwise very solid."

Duratec 2.0

"Focus/Mondeo/Mazda3 shared. Mazda MZR co-developed. Simple, proven, nearly bulletproof. 300k+ km. The reliable Ford."
