That is bad-ass.

Wait a minute. The 6.2l is sohc and the 5.0l is dohc? Am I missing something here? Which motor is going in which car?

5.0 going into GT's, 6.2 going into 2012 or GT500 i suppose

The 2011s are going to be one crazy stang. Hmmm, maybe I can trade in my car and get a good deal on a 05-09 when the 2011s come out. I think a lot of people are going to be trading in for the new stangs.

The only cars (so far) that the 5.0 dohc going in is 2011 mustang gt and the f150. The f150 platinum and the SVT raptor is getting the 6.2 sohc enigne.

this is true as far as anyone knows the 6.2 is a truck engine. it has already been confirmed from ford it is going into the raptor.

personally, it seems dumb that either of these engines would be designed in a market like this to be used in only one model of vehicle. i would imagine (hope) that the 6.2 or some variation of it will find its way into a special edition mustang. and than the 5.0 will probably replace the 4.6 all together, and get put into explorers and Lincolns. designing an engine isnt something that is cheap or easy. they have to make the development investment back on it somehow.

plus "THE BOSS IS BACK" that is cast into the intake valley leads me to believe there is something up Ford's sleeve on this.

^Wait wait... SVT is still alive?

The main purpose of the 6.2 is to replace the weak 5.4 in the superdutys. They need a stronger motor for the superdutys and the 5.4 is all but tapped out without a blower. The 6.2 is suppose to get as good as mpg as the 5.4 with a 100 hp and 75 ft-lb increase. Go look at the 2011 superdutys as the engine is confirmed for these trucks as well. I have not heard anything about the 6.2 going into the gt500's all that is speculation because it is a larger motor. I've heard of a 5.0 twin turbo for the gt500 or a supercharged 5.4 dohc all aluminum motor is probably more likely scenario.
