The only tweek the '11 V6 got was a chin spoiler right?

 

'Cos the 05-09 didn't receive a honking great new engine, worthy of new facias

The CS/GT proves it can be done.

 

 

Fair enough.

Whatever they do, it looks like I've got a LOT of spousal convincing (aka begging) in my future.

 

Great stuff!! Congrats Ford on an outstanding job!! This car will replace my leased 2008 maxima SE in 10 months!!

 

No amount of begging will get me a 2011 GT

However, if it did......this is the facia I want on it!

 

You could smuggle a midget under that hood scoop.

 

Yea that hood scoop doesnt go LOL

 

I'd guess somewhere in the 4k range.

 

How about needing to flow 1.33 times more airflow for cooling and for the engine's intake?

 

25 MPG highway is impressive until you take into account Chevy managed to get the same rating with it's heavier SS Camaro with A/T (M/T is 24).

For some strange reason, the Mustang 3.7L M/T looses 1 MPG vs. A/T, so if this is also the case with the 5.0L GT, they've matched both Camaro numbers ... anyone else not all excited about 25 MPG now ??

The A/T Camaro gains it's meager 1 MPG highway over the M/T version with 26 less HP AND cylinder deactivation !!

The Mustang's 3.7L w/ A/T will be one-upping the Camaro V6 on both city & highway MPG with 19/30 vs. 18/29 (M/T one-ups on city only 18/29 vs. 17/29), so I thought with less curb weight & 81% of displacent Ford would be able to one-up the SS Camaro too on MPG rather than simply matching it.

Just something to think about.

The manual 3.7 Mustang loses 1mpg over the automatic due to only having 1 overdrive gear. 5th gear in the manual is 1:1. The automatic has 2 overdrive gears with 4th being 1:1.

 

As I understand it, the Camaro only gets 24 mpg because of cylinder deactivation. The 5.0 doesn't rely on this and the accompanying loss of power.

 

(Said in a sarcastic tone while looking at Boomer's avatar) I wonder what it could be?

 

The 05-09 mustangs said 23mpg.. and most of us get 25-28 all day so mpg is subjective, and i didn't buy an 8 cylinder car for it's gas mileage...( i personally get 26-28 on the highway.. so what happend to 23?)

 

I didn't think it was changed at all.
+ 1,000,000,000!

 

I ran across this....

The manual doesn't have cylinder deactivation. No LS3's do.

 

But they do have skipshift...

 

So does the 6060 in the 10' It makes high rpm 2nd gears shifts something you have to relearn. It's how tremec got the 6060 in the 10' GT500 a 610 ft/lbs torque rating.
