Saw a new V6 Mustang the other day. It has sequential turn signals like a 1960's Mercury cougar. If you didn't know what to look for, you'd pass it off as the old model.

I saw one this past Sunday and immediately Knew it was a '10 model. The casual onlooker might not see difference, due to not paying attention too details.

2010 Mustang is just a reskin, under it is the same car since 2005. Ford used the pieces from the Bullit for the powertrain in the GT, so it is rated at 325 Hp. The V6 is still the same 4.0 liter that it has had since the begining. Ford is supposed to change the powertrain in both the GT and the V6 for 2011.

I found a video on Youtube with the new GT putting 279-281 rwhp to the rollers. Using a 15% driveline loss thats in the neighborhood of 325+ at the flywheel. So 315 hp is being conservative in rated power.

....hmmm, and how many 320 hp rated LS1s put 300 to the rollers? That is, if we are going to talk conservative numbers

I think it is 325 bc i dont believe the motor changed hardly at all from 09 besides the 2010 gets cold air intake. I think they are pretty nice cars for the price. Of course they dont have the hp as a 2010 ss but you can buy one for around 25g thats at least 10g less. I drove a 09 gt last week that a friend purchased love the seats in it. Im not a ford guy either so it took a lot for me to say that.

I've seen some '01-'02 Z/28's and SS get over 300 +hp , but the '98-'99 models i've seen couldn't quite get pass 279rwhp. Don't get flustered i'm just F'ing with you.

I can't wait until the 2011 model to see how the new Mustang will stack up to the Camaro. Went to a Ford dealership last week and saw a black w/ red interior GT sitting by a Roush. Loved it. I actually like the taillights better, though they seem to draw the most negative comments. Good looking car. When they put more power in it, it's going to be a contender for my dollar as light as it is. The only option I'd have on it would be the Track Pack.

I just have no interest in the 2010 because it's a new body with the same old motor, when we all know it's getting a new engine for the 2011 year. Why would a car company do that?! Just like GM did with the GTO. One year, then new powertrain. That's just a terrible thing to do to buyers, IMO. Kept me from even considering the 2010.

Well, then back on topic - I saw 20 000 Mustangs yesterday..............yeeehaaawwww

Sorry, I can't be bothered caring about belly button cars anymore - everyone and their dog has one!

ps - not worried about stock power output of 99 LS1s at this point

i saw a white V6 on the way down to Indy. It stuck out to me as the new model but my buddy thought it was the same as one we rented when working in Hawaii and that was a 2005
