It is the baddest Mustang GT to hit the streets. None of the crap from the 60's touches it, even the big block 429 SCJ's which were rated in gross HP. Not to mention the cars were pieces of ****.

 

For all my life (56 years old) the Mustang has always been a few tents of a second slower than the camaro in every performance test......The times are a changing.

 

About 10 years ago, I decided that I wanted a Corvette someday. At the time I thought 400 HP would be enough. Now that cost figures into the picture, and the fact that it has a back seat, etc. a mustang is now my dream car, and will a little luck, I will be making it a reality in about 9 months. The more things that change, the more things at FORD that I like!

 

You'll see the new 5.0 emblem by weeks end...

 

does it look good TN?

 

The 60 degree angle is a less efficient design. Space was the primary consideration in that example. The space between the heads looks tighter because the intake design is different and the 4-valve heads are wider making them look closer than they actually are. It's amazing to me they were able to lighten the engine weight (pretty close to the ls1 now) with massive and heavy OHV 4 Valve Heads.

Christmas just keeps getting better and better.

With the following mods do you all think we could break 500hp
Full exhaust
CAI
UDP
Aluminum Driveshaft
Cams

 

No, I don't think so. Judging from the rumor mill, this engine already breathes well- and four cams will not be cheap. I think your easiest, quickest path to 500hp is forced induction. We'll all know for sure by mid summer.

 

Getting aftermarket cams to work with the TiVCT is another matter. Will need restrictors like the 3v's.

 

100 shot, done

 

I think it'll look good.

 

That's enough for me

 

Thanks I am just to anxious and can't wait. I think 412hp will be enough for a while though. That way I can save up for a S/C.

Could you please explain this a little more.

Don't wanna mess with NOS bc this will be a DD.

 

Please explain? Have you seen the the cam phaser on the 4V?

 

Good job of offending any of us that have owned vintage Mustangs. The Mustang would not be what it is today if not for the heritage it has, any true Mustang enthusiats would understand that.

 

Try being a Foxbody fan, 1979 - 1993 is sorta like everybody's drunk uncle showing at christmas dinner, yeah he's family, you just dont like to talk about him.

 

lol. That's funny dude. I owned a 1969 Mach 1 428 CJ 4speed from 1982-1995 and I swear the most fun I had was when all the 5.0 guys would mouth off how fast their cars were and that the old junk couldn't keep up, then I'd proceed to show them what my tail lights looked like (usually before I was even in second gear). Back 20 yrs ago I hated new Mustangs and only liked the 60's and early 70's stuff.

 

Lol, have you met the Mustang IIs?? Or 94-98? Point is, we should appreciate that we own one of the longest running, best selling cars in the world. Every generation has its own traits and characteristics. Eci you're on crack if you would take a 2010 over a Boss 429. They're market value will hopefully keep rising.

 

The 429s were WAY underrated as far as gross HP goes, rumor had it for insurance reasons. I had a '70 T-Bird with a 429 4-barrel and dual exhausts that officially had 360 HP and 420 TQ. I know it felt faster off the line than my '06 GT, but it also had no throttle lag . Some guys said their stock 429s got 500 gross at the dyno .

I agree with you that the '11 should be the baddest GT ever!

 

Just the new emblem.....or anything else by week's end, too? Just don't want to get my hope's up
