As long as the GT comes in around 3600 or less it should have the goods to take down the F5

v6 camaro will own the 3 valve


correct me if i am wrong but if that thing comes out as an 11:1 motor then the only guys that are going to be happy are the nitrous freaks, and then the base v8 may not be built to handle a shot anyway. it will require a whole rebuild if you want to go turbo or supercharger....

i understand but i wrote that respoonse before the poll had started, then posted after i came back to this computer.

i did however edit it once i read the responses. however it still stands that the 2010 mustang year will suffer to the competition.

absolutely, 70lbs is the difference of introducing myself to the blind date or walking away before she notices me..........

No even most of the Camaro guys admit it. The Stang weighs a lot less and has more torque.

Anyway, if the Mustang continues to have a significant weight advantage, then yes the 2011 5.0 will outrun a 6.2 SS

Dont forget us 300hp SN95 guys either. Im sitting on ready for this given the smack talk on the F5 boards about how the 300 hp v6 F body may take out the s197 GT's. I think they might be surprised how good those old Mach 1's really do run.

The 5.0 will surprise a LOT of people.

That's not saying GM will take it lying down either... but things take time to get through the pipe...and well...
the weight advantage isn't exactly as easy to get rid of.

I'd put my money by a few tenths on the 5.0 GT,
IF they can keep the weight in check

It will be interesting. I think GM might have a couple of tricks in their corner. The LS3 could benefit from VVT and Direct Injection. Both are technologies that GM is rumored to have been working on for the LS series motors.

True, but the 5.0 can also play the DI card down the road. And there's always EB.
