2011. WAYYYYYYYY more potential, and a better base to start from.

2011. I would run a car fax and check for the early transmission issues.
High miles for a 2011 - need to make sure it wasn't abused. Depends what you want to do with the car - daily driver? Take your time to search there are a lot of good Mustangs out there. Go to Autotrader and search your area and compare. Don't jump at the first one. Good luck!

After looking at the car fax I saw that the 2011 5.0 had 3 owners. The first was a corporate fleet company and put about 40k on it. The second owner had it for about a year and the last owner had about 6 months on it.

Its going to cost you a hell of a lot more then $600.00 to squeeze another 100hp out of the 2010. Unless 'corporate fleet company " means it was a rental car, and there was nothing else on the car fax I think its a no -brainer. Get the '11. But 'roadman 4.6" is right look around , see what else is out there .
