    2011 V6 stang official release

    I'm also wondering if this motor will make it into the fusion sport?? I know the sport was originally going to have some version of EcoBoost, but this motor would be a lot more "sporty" than the 263hp 3.7L 24V 6er it has now. AWD 305hp Fusion, I could go for that! BTW, fusion sport only...

    See, that's what I heard too. That's why I'm impatiently waiting.

    2011 V6 stang official release

    This is great news about the 6er, but I thought we would find out about all the engine options at the same time. Wonder when we will find out what engines will be in the GT/Boss/Shelby?

    CDC Shaker or Cold Air

    It's probably a toss up. If you are looking for best performance for the buck, go with the cold air. If you want performance and looks, go with the shaker.

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    I think it's safe to say the new 5.0L motor will be in the Mustang. I just don't know in what form (i.e. Boss, GT, etc.)

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    I'll do him one better. I found out, through a pretty good source, that a company that makes motor mounts for ford is at the very least testing 5.0L motor mounts for the Mustang. :nice:

    AOD effect

    I have 4.11's with my AOD and love it. The only complaint I have is, RPM at cruising speed is right at the place where my "drone-masters" (flowmasters) want to drone you right out of the car. Probably doesn't help that I don't have any insulation/sound deadener on the floor or between the...

    2010 Camaro

    So of all the fun things to reply to in this thread I pick this. *commence reply* Dude! Don't do it. Throw those bad boys in the oven smothered in onions, mushrooms and cream of mushroom soup. Pan fried is not cool. Hell the George Foreman would be better than that. haha. ;) Oh...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    There is a ton of speculation on this. For example, I remember reading somewhere that the 5.0L is replacing the 4.6L and 5.4L. About one month until we find out what engines will be used. I hope the new explorer looks better at SEMA also. The previous concept is FUGLY!

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    Do you have a link? This makes sense compared to what Ford has been saying all along. Only thing is, they said the engines would be offered along side the current offerings, if I remember correctly. Also, I don't see all this happening very quickly, but you never know...

    Ford to reveal 2011 Mustang powertrain updates at L.A. Auto Show

    I should have said 100lbs. Link to the thread. We had a whole discussion about weight over there.

    Ford to reveal 2011 Mustang powertrain updates at L.A. Auto Show

    He may have been talking about the rumor that the Mustang will be putting on a few pounds. The 5.0L engine alone is 150lbs heavier than the 4.6L.

    What's the top speed you've gotten your 2010 Mustang to??

    There is a huge thread (nice pun) on this at the Explorer Forum I view. It has been my experience that aluminum wheels (especially the torq-thrust's on my Cougar) tend to need a second check after a couple hundred miles. I have noticed them being quite loose at times and one time found one in...

    What's the top speed you've gotten your 2010 Mustang to??

    Never thought of trying that. Sounds like it would be pretty cool!

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    Now that I really think about it, I don't know if I like the SHO idea. Eventually the SVO will be back (2.0L EcoBoost) to replace the 3.5L V6 so it might get confusing having an SHO and SVO. That was all speculation, but I think I like the idea of just calling it a GT. In many cultures GT...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    I'm not saying I wouldn't take the V8. I'm just saying I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't an option. Ford has to meet the CAFE standards somehow. Have we seen any fuel efficiency numbers on the 5.0L? I know most people who buy a Mustang aren't too concerned with fuel efficiency, but...

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    Is the new 5.0L engine direct injected? At any rate I'm excited to hear what they have to say in December. Looks like the show is December 4th through the 13th with press days on the 2nd and 3rd. Wonder what day the big unveil will be?

    2011 Mustang Leaked !!!

    The V6 has plenty Torque: Taurus Sho - 365HP/350TQ Mustang GT - 315HP/325TQ I'm just saying... I'm sure with the right exhaust you could make just about anything sound pretty dang good. By the way, the max HP comes on about 500 RPM sooner and the max TQ about 750 RPM sooner in the SHO...

    What's the top speed you've gotten your 2010 Mustang to??

    I wonder if GPS can keep up if you are going that fast. Our GPS displays speed. That would be one way to get a close guess.
