OMG, that is one beautifully executed engine, kudos to Ford for making it look great and perform. The decision is buy the GT or wait for the SE?? I'm holding out for the Boss 302!!

LOL...

I am also glad. I think it's clean and uncluttered. Not only that, it's completely removable

Also, in these pics you can see the lower lip of the front air dam is lower on the '11. It is the same height across the front, while the '10's has a step in it.
The rear is from the GT500..it also has the rear tire spats and a revised from lower air dam...it goes straight across now instead of curving up as in 2010

Exactly. The GT500 rear end looks much, much more aggressive, IMO.

Ah, very nice, but could someone clarify to me what exactly is meant by "rear tire spats"?

I think the 2010 OEM unit actually flows more air than the Ford Racing Bullitt open design. The 2010 acts as a ram air unit getting air from the front grill. Please excuse if I'm stating the obvious.

I wondered if it pulled from the front... as I remember didn't some of the airbox designs pull air from the (hot) wheel well?
As far as more air, the HP bump is the same at 315 so I'm reading that as the 10 pulls the same amount of air as the Bullitt. Keep in mind the FRPP CAI pulls from the front also with a tight seal to the redesigned hood liner for the Bullitt. The airbox must be quieter than the open element...

Naw, just cold air. Its impossible to "ram" air at subsonic speeds.

To summarize Jimp's response, it is possible to ram air at subsonic speeds, the increase in pressure is limited to a few percent. In this case, that could mean 12-20HP, depending upon the speed.

Nice plastic coverings on the new motor. I wonder if it will be an option like the "Powered by ford" intake cover on the 05-09's. Too bad most of those nice new plastic covers will end of going to make room for twin screw blowers.....Long live mod motors and blowers....Hell Yeah!!!!!!
