yeah...

but it also has 16 more valves and 3 more cams...

so wouldnt that pretty much even it out?
REALLY?

Have you looks at the heads on the 6.2 and the valve? 2.16 intake valve. Flow 320-330 cfm on the intake stock. Doesnt matter how many cams its has... Its not like the more cams the more power. Exhaust lift is exhaust lift,duration is duration. If anything you would think the motor would make less power with all thoses extra parts to spin.


I think its about time ford came out of the wood works and made a normal gt that was a quick car. Ford has been dragging *** for to long. I wish they would stop with all the small cube BS though. Bring back the 302?412hp? Seriously if they were gonna make a new motor why not a 400ci 32 valve engine producing 475-500hp.

MPG, emissions, etc.

Some of you guys are digging WAY too hard to come up with a reason why the new Mustang isn't that great.

Personally, besides the appearance of the car, I really like it.

Really??? stock for stock the autos will run with the sticks easily if not better at the track.....the auto is 10x better for the 1/8 or the 1/4, no matter how you look at it the Chevy will be seeing the tail lights assuming equal drivers, period.

The 5.0 heads flow over 300 CFM. These heads flow over 100% VE in stock form. These heads are incredible. Not trying to discredit the LS3 just throwing that out there.

Mike at G-force has set up a couple that are monster with not all that much done. But alas lost on the GM fan base, both camos are filled with idiots though.
The 4 Valve Mod motor Ford heads have been great since 1996, the current GT500 heads are bad *** pieces. To me this is Fords first mod motor meant for NA power, toe to toe with the GM stuff. They had the Mach 4 valves and 01 and prior Cobras. When my LT1 was pretty much dead stock with a cold air at most maybe, I always loved racing the 96-98 Cobras because it was always damn close. But the mod Ford always shined under pressure, not NA. Who knows, maybe with boost and meth this new 5.0 will be just as great. THis is the right time to be a fan of these cars, they maybe fatties, but they're briniging the heat son.
The 4v are nowhere near great. They flow less than an 83' Mitsubishi 4v head in the baseline p.o.s. grocery getter. Their valve train is **** and cant turn high rpms. The statement about ford has always shined under pressure is pretty dumb because any motor can make power when boosted. Ford pisses me off as far as Modular motors go because not only can the make no power with out boost or spray and the cars that come boosted from the factory the take the knock sensors off. Also when your airflow goes about what the computer reads it leans out the motor causing them to detonate when they should do like GM did and when it exceeds what the computer can read and instantly dumb in 10% more fuel to keep your motor safe. I really like new 5.0 motor which is NOT a modular and isn't even a new motor. Yes it is a 4v DOHC motor but it is not a modular. It is actually the motor that has been in the Jaguars for the past 5+ years. The heads are half the size of the cobra heads but flows like 40% more and turns 7k straight from the factory. The intake manifold is 10x better than the bs that they have on the modulars. I'm not anti Ford in any way I just think modular motors are a joke unless you boost them a **** load. I mean how the hell do you get only 4.6L/5.4L out of a block thats bigger than a 460cid BBF.

I've never been a fan of the mustang. Mainly because of how many are on the road. And the GTs are slow. But this new 2011 one looks like it'll be a good competitor to the current camaro. Lighter, comparable power...

but everyone on here is biased towards GM. so i'll hop on the band wagon. rustang lollol.

The torque management on the camaro with the auto is not **** on the 6 speed, the trap speed of the automatic being 79? Pft, not with the 6 speed camaro. The stang automatic is like the old ford and chevy autos, they just go. But like the factory 4th and third gens in the past, the manual trans can go faster stock for stock if they have a driver that can launch. Lighter and put more power to the ground.

I am happy Ford is finally bringing their A-game with Mustang GT, it used to be reserved for their cobras. Competition breeds innovation!
