D.O.H.C. "Coyote" engine. Very similar to the 4.6, but certainly not the same engine.

I still feel these mustang's hoods are way too big to have such little done to them...also, I think it needs a wing.

Ah, who cares...what's under the hood is what matters.

You know it'd be sweet to see a company that made those little back windows disappear, like take the glass out, fill and smooth them. That'd look SO badass. I HATE that glass there. It looks outta place

I'm sure they'd get ragged on for having a HUGE blind spot without that glass there. Plus, I'd be willing to bet someone will make a 'cover' or something for it. It might not look that bad

Someone needs to make a new rear bumper that doesn't jut out, and a ducktail spoiler. I think that would look 1,000,000 times better. Can't wait to see what people can do with these once they start getting modded.

There is a ducktail spoiler option from the factory, he just didn't opt for it (weight savings I guess).

Did you make them remove their free advertising from your trunk lid? I would have.

Congrats on the new car, looks good.

I mean one that flows with the car. Every factory option I have seen makes the trunk look like it is open.

Sweet GT. I love the '11s. How does she run? My '11 GT-500 is on order. Supposed to be built this week and delivered to the dealer the week of the June 21st. I can't wait. I've wanted one since '07, finally took the plunge. Still want a 2000 WS-6 Formula though. I'm not giving up on that.
