2011 Mustang Info Thread
It sucks the server got hacked, but let's get back to it 
Details (rumors) on the 2011 Mustang are as follows:
Having said all that - discuss.
Details (rumors) on the 2011 Mustang are as follows:
- 3.7L V6 to be rated at 315 horsepower: Same as 2010 GT; 15 hp more than Camaro V6
- No immediate plans for EcoBoost V6 Mustang due to small horsepower gap between EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 (365 vs 400)
- 2011 Mustang GT to be rated at 400 horsepower, will get increase in 2012
- 2011 Mustang GT to get 6-speed transmission and variable valve timing
- 2011 Mustang GT Track Pack to include Brembo brakes
- 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L V8, 6-speed, track pack, Brembo brakes ran even with 414-hp BMW M3, which is 200 lbs lighter, at GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Michigan
- 2011 Shelby GT500 to get Aluminum Block
- Next special edition: 2012 Boss
Boss:
Better handling car(out handle Track Pack 2 with ease) will be high power N/A in between GT and GT500. Pricing close to that of GT500(optioned out to about 47) but that is fine since it plays to a different audience. Production number less than GT500. Styling will not see a radical change as from GT to GT500 but will be fairly noticeable even to those not engulfed in the world of cars.
I have said nothing.
Is it worth the wait?
Let's just say I will be purchasing more that one toy in the coming years.

I was worried that Ford had sent the "heavies" around to Brad's place to get him to delete "The Insider's" information on the 2011
Good work getting the system back though, guys. Pity so much data has been lost though

Limited availability because of....
1) Still too many 08 and 09 models on dealer lots that need to move
2) Supplier issues/quality holds for some of the parts
3) Move to Aluminum block

You can also argue electric cars date to 1909, it all depends on how its engineered, it is ignorant to argue the axle is the same. Sure there are better axle setups but SRA works why change it, if you want to make it better add a watts link and you have nothing left to argue over.
