This^^^^^^^^I have read many times, this is why the 155 mph speed limiter on cars that will do a lot faster. Just saying.....

I think the 2015 5.0 will have 450 hp with 420 ft lbs of torque

I think that this Thursdays official unveiling of the new M3/M4 specs will have an impact on the official rating of the new stang. With he new focus on the m3 and other high end sports cars as a target competitor. As we know ford had been under rating the 5.0 anyway so my guess is they will match or beat whatever the new M motor is rated at.

I absolutely LOVE the new vette. When they first came out I went over to Cheby and looked at it, and was thrilled.. My wife's comment, "You should get it!" My response was, let me see what the 2015 stang will be like. Both are beautiful cars. I have a 13 year old son, who is undoubtedly getting less and less comfy in the back of my 2011. He says he's fine, but how long will that last on a 2 hour trip. True the wife has a 2013 Edge and that's quite nice in the back.

So should I just get the stang and use her car when we go somewhere as a family. Should I say, "Well Hell, if he can't sit in the back might was well get the Vette!" Should I show some consideration for him and get the new CTS Vsport or see what the new CTS V is like??? I actually like the New Chevy SS as an option for a reasonably priced 4 door GO FAST machine.

It's a great time to be a fan of American muscle. I've never owned a GM product, but they are making some nice stuff. Although I really really don't like the big bow tie logo on the Wheel of the SS.

I'm just going to settle in for another year with the 2011 and see what special editions are coming out. The neat thing about driving a car you really enjoy is that you are in no rush even when great new cars come out.

I also like the concept of the Chevy SS/Charger R/T. I really wish Ford would offer a nice RWD V8 sedan to compete with these cars. $40-45k, minimal options, even with auto only. I'd love it for a daily driver.

I'm thinking that's a pretty good guess-timate. I'll be more than happy with that... any more, and I'll truly be ecstatic!

Hopefully they dialed up the IRS to handle the whatever the engine puts out ( well within reason ) the durability of the 8.8 stick axle should have been the base line for the new IRS in terms of what abuse it could handle.

Very true. Since mustang guys are known to mod their cars more than your average car driver, it would be less than wonderful to have massive irs failure with the addition of a few hp. Clearly some will state that ford isn't responsible to make cars which will handle wanton abuse and modification. TRUE DAT! However what Bob ultimately was saying is that the 8.8 tolerated a respectible amount of HP. It would be nice if that was a benchmark that they shot for with the irs.

The ability to withstand reasonable mods is one of the things that has attracted mustang faithful year after year.

I think we will learn at the Detroit Auto Show, as well as learn about the secret OEM feature.

I am guessing 435 HP and 410 tq.

I want a 7.5k redline.

Only things that would make this car perfect would be Rev match and HUD.

Shame? I didn't twist anything. I stated a fact. Go practice falling down, I'll be there later.

I'm sure Steeda will have charge motion deletes within 6 months
