2011 5.0 Mustangs.... Looks like Ford finally made a powerfull n/a motor. Looking over on dfwstangs looks like with minor bolt-on's they are 415-430rwhp, 7.5-7.3 1/8th 95+mph...
Still love my caddy, but that seems like a bargain of a vehicle.

I'm seriously considering one in another six months or so.
What I like is that you can get a supercharger add on from the factory with a warranty for another 8-10K. After having to deal with trying to bolt together a performance car second hand and dealing with a third party for every modification, it's refreshing just to be able to get a turn key package from the dealer.

I'm assuming the only downfall is they are maxed after bolt-ons. Unless they respond better to heads and cams than the 4.6's did. Unlike LS motors heads and cam can produce 425-500rwhp.
Still impressive in my eye's that a 5 liter mod motor makes that kind of power.

The cool thing though is they make 420-430ish with minor bolt-ons and a tune. That's a damn good number on a bone stock motor. There are already a lot of the things running around with blowers, running less than 10 psi and putting down over 550rwhp. That's not bad at all considering with a roots style blower, the car will run/drive like it's bone stock.
I might just hold out for a couple of years and try to pick up a 2010-11 GT500. Gotta see how that new aluminum block in the 11's holds up. I definitely like the 10-11 body style better than the 05-09's.
