I was reading car and driver about the 2011 mustang GT and it seems its going to get a 6.2L 400+ hp motor. I dont care what the EPA says the muscle car war is on

just makes my LT1 looks slower

 

6.2L to finally hit 400hp? They are so far behind the curve it's not even funny. lol

If it's still an OHC engine, I'm sure it'll be about the size of the moon and weigh a few tons too, further upsetting the balance and increasing the weight of an already heavy, not so great handling car.

 

Yeah I'd read that as well, pretty cool.

 

It's actually a 5.0L 400hp V8. The Mustang is also getting Ford's new turbocharged 3.5L V6 above the base V6.

 

I saw some information on the 6.2 engine going into the mustang as well.

 

pushrod maybe?!?!

 

Forged internals??
Anyone know for sure?

 

there has to be a ford fan around here, and im sure they will chime in with the right info

I know they lurk in these parts

 

Form another forum I frequent:





I'm not a fan of the new front end look either, maybe in person or on a different color it's better. Kinda looks like it's got down syndrome or something.

 

The indicators should be on the front bumper and should be little circles like the originals IMO.

 

hmmm well dammit. all that means is that the new mustang is gonna be hella bang for buck... once they get used and drop to like 20k for a loaded gt. like now lol. but with 6.2l that is a good bit of motor to work with. and if they respond to boost as well as previous gens, i might actually get one. though if the new camaro is up to par for what ive been reading about it, eff a house and eff the mustang. ik wat i want. lol.

I was just about to say that I liked the new front end a lot better than the current one! Looks more agressive to me.

 

Well damn...I was hoping for a (much) more prominent kickup before the rear wheels...I really would have considered a new one if they had gone full 69-up with the design.

 

hopefully itll have a little more than 400hp and come in under 30k.

 

The next Mustang still looks like it has downs syndrome.
La-la-la-la life goes on.

 

damn the 370z is ugly.....sorry I know its off topic. I like the looks of that stang, looks more like the GT500, wonder what the taillights are gonna look like
