2011 Rumours

Hope this is true...

• 3.7L V6 to be rated at 315 horsepower: Same as 2010 GT; 15 hp more than Camaro V6
  
• No immediate plans for EcoBoost V6 Mustang due to small horsepower gap between EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 (365 vs 400)
  
• 2011 Mustang GT to be rated at 400 horsepower, will get increase in 2012
  
• 2011 Mustang GT to get 6-speed transmission and variable valve timing (Finally!)
  
• 2011 Mustang GT Track Pack to include Brembo brakes
  
• 2011
  Mustang GT 5.0L V8, 6-speed, track pack, Brembo brakes ran even with
  414-hp BMW M3, which is 200 lbs lighter, at GingerMan Raceway in South
  Haven, Michigan
  
• 2011 Shelby GT500 to get Aluminum Block (The fat lady is going on a diet finally!)
  
• Next special edition: 2012 Boss (450hp and is suppose to be a handling fool)
  

Revit will be done.

SIgn me up, lol

A rebirth of the boss would be nice to see.

Jerry.... all of those would be nice to see.... if they are true!

Paul said it so it has to be true

A 2012 Boss 450HP??

wonder if we can get them to conjure up a Boss 429??

Forget the new wheels; I'm saving for 2012...

6 speed will be nice :)

And the new GT comes stock with more HP than Dein's Roushcharged Tripple Black 427R

Any rumors of a new rear end styling package? Lol. In all seriousness I'm probably going to look real hard at the 2011 with 5.0 and 400+ HP. If it does indeed cone that way with a couple options you will most likely see one in the driveway

are they still gonna use the overhead cam platform?

Yes. And will lost likely be a dual ohc setup like the 03-04 cobra

oh hell yah. I have a chubby. Paul... is there a link/ web page for this info? I say good buy to my Boss and I'll order one. I should be fixing planes by then and be able to afford it.

The 5.0 power plant will be DOHC producing 400 HP and when and if they go direct injection it will be 425 HP. The engines name is the coyote. A ford enginer showed me pictures of it in a s197 looks like a cobra engine with a different intake.

Sweet!

I can't wait!

I heard 401 hp...

i can just imagine the price increase for a base GT.

And it's a called the "Stray Dog".

For you guys waiting for a 5.0 I dont have to I allready got one and will be installed after Mods VS Rods not enough time with my schedule to drop it in an tune and work all the bugs out

will you still be throwing it down at Rods vs. Mods though?

hell yeah turned the boost up and the timing installing some brisk plugs installing a boostaspark so yes I will be throwing something down goods #'s or some parts so if she blows you all can wait on the track to clean my mess instead of some one elses mess

im hoping to be ready by mods vs rods. im not going to have my gears in yet so im looking at mid 13's at best. unless i get a good loauch maybe low 13's i dont think i'll be seeing 12's though, just dont think im good enough to hit those times

gut your interior out like it did last year. 13.2@107mph

Guess in 2011 it will be time to trade mine in on a new one....

Did you get Drag Radials? If not...invest in them...street tires are a waste of time
