Well somebody had to ask it .. I really like the 2011 pony package .. So what you think ??? And this will just be my Daily Driver so not a lot of modding going to be done ...
I figured that once Ford annouced the 2011s GT or V6 that it would kill most sales of the 2010s but people still keep buying them.
If I was in the market for a new one I know I would wait or pre-order a 2011.
The only thing I would worry about is that with all the major changes there could be issues with the first year. Maybe I will look at the 2012s.
Another option would be to see how much it drives down the price on the 05-09s, find something with low miles and slap on a the smog legal Turbonetics kit and call it done for much less money.
with all the new stuff on the 6 I will give it a while .. about 6 months or so, make sure everything works out .. If I get a Pony Package prob have to order it anyway ...
I too was expecting issues being a whole new design and all when I got my 05. Only had a couple minor issues under warranty in the beginning, and haven't had anything happen since the warranty ran out. I think Ford does pretty good considering, I'm surprised. I also wouldn't expect too many issues with just adding new power plants either. Everything else should be worked out by now from the 2010 model.
I'd buy a new V6 as soon as I can, but I would have to convince the wife first Will probably have to let her get a new car too, lol.
