2010 V6 power
I've got 1600 miles on the girly car now, and I'm driving it a bit 'harder' than I normally would. Any regrets I might've had about not waiting for the '11 are now gone... it's plenty of power for me. I was a little disappointed that the Magnaflows sounded kinda 'wound up' at 3,500 RPMS or so... but discovered it sounds pretty **** good when you kick it from there. Also kinda suprised to see the computer show the MPG going up after a couple days of quick starts. Maybe I need to stretch out the upshifts a little more than I used to.

If I could swing it, I'd probably opt for a 2010 V6, too, as I enjoy ringing out "smaller" motors more than I do under-utilizing bigger ones. Case in point, my favourite bike of any I've owned/ridden was my '79 RD400. It made precious little power overall and had a whopping 1500-rpm-wide powerband (6500-8000) where EVERTHING happened.
If I were to do a 2010 V6, I'd love to set it up with the FRPP Power Upgrade Package, FRPP Handling Upgrade Package, FRPP Quick Shifter and FRPP GT Front Brake Upgrade Package. That on a Perf White Pony Package would be killer, IMO.
Enjoy the wheels. I'm glad that you're digging the Magnaflows in the upper range.

Drove my FIL's '67 289 for a couple years. I never worried about being able to merge into traffic in that car.
He got it out of a junkyard and built it, then rebuilt it a couple times. Drove it lots and LOTS of miles. Time for another rebuild... and we let it go. I didn't have any money to throw around 15 years ago... so we found it a home. One of very few things I'd change if I could go back in time.

bought a '10 instead of '11 and really glad i didn't wast an extra $5000 for the exact same car with 40 more ft-lbs of torque.
i've had several GT's and just sold a '91 gt 3 weeks ago. got the 4.0L for a daily driver and it's much more fun to beat the sh*t out of on the streets and in traffic.
the 4L is a truck engine right out of the Explorer/Land Rover and it drives like one, crude, rough, with more than enough power and perfect for a Mustang. makes it feel more like the original '60s cars
