Late development???

 

Oh WILL they now...
Thanks

 

I don't suppose that some of these "other goodies" were developed in response to some of the criticisms leveled at the car by some of the automotive press, were they?

 

All the details will really get laid out on Jan. 11, when the press days open up at NAIAS. Dec. 28 will bring the full load of engine info on the Ford Media site.

 

Pffft, whatever, like it's going to be as good as my Microsoft Paint masterpiece

 

Man, they seriously should just use that. I really hope they don't disappoint with the new 5.0 badge. I'd be 100% happy to see your avatar on the side of my car!

 

Hopefully sooner, there is little point in releasing the data on the 28th. The cat is already out of the bag. Monday would be fine. They were initially going to release this at the LA auto show anyway until they changed there plans.

 

I just want to see what the old 5.0 badge would look like on the '11...

 

I haven't heard any confirmation of this being 'planned', but we're going to have to wait. The only other way we all get the info is if someone decides to totally blow the embargo and spill the beans.

 

I heard it looks like that. But with a big L and the end similar to the Raptor's 6.2L badge.

 

I didn't know the Raptor had a badge when you ordered the 6.2L.

 

Ugh. That sounds like it's going to be gross. I'll keep hope for a nice modern 5.0 badge in honor of the old one. If it comes with an L on the end, time to break out the Dremel.

 

Pics of said 6.2 badge? I think they'll do something in the same font that the new Mustang started to use, something a bit more modern. This might be a way for them to bring another small bit of modern flair to the car.

Edit: here's a pic


Lose the big "L" behind the displacement and make it black chrome and I'll love it.

 

Same here. Remove the L, and make it black chrome. Then it'll be perfect!

Put these on the side and keep the standard GT on the rear badge

 

Dremel will be coming out. And a little red paint for the "." lol...

 

i agree with getting rid of the L. that should be on the side of the car like the old 5.0. but i think the classic 5.0 with the red dot should be on the faux gas cap.

 

I doubt it'll look like that.

 

Remember that "late" is a relative term and not in the sense of being late for work or the movies, etc. R&D, design, approval and testing is not done overnight and all adjustments must be made well ahead of release time. What was gained in the Coyote engine was more in the torque numbers than the figurative increase in HP. Yes, the car will perform better than the previous model, but not markedly so based on HP percentage figures. Quarter mile times will be the most noticeable and not so much the 0-60 times (non-Trak Pak models). It will definitely feel much stronger though and allow the car to be a leader in its segment with all round performance. The new 2011 Mustang will be better than ever................

 

I'd do the dot in Grabber Blue (to match the car, of course).

 

Oversized L is oversized.
