429 Boss Mustang

I went to Ford about two days ago to go and check up on the new mustangs. I asked them about the 6.2. He told me its gonna be in the mustangs for the late 2010 as a limited offer and in 2011 it be a full production engine for the car. I asked him if it was gonna be a gt model. he said I really dont know. I asked about hp for it, he said around 410 to 445. But that should be enough to blow away a camaro or a challanger when they come out.

I know some of you guys were hoping for a 5.0 with 4v and 400 horse power and i was to. But i asked him about that to and he said he dont know what happened to it. They talked about it he said but we have to wait in see. Most likely no tho. The reason thier sticking a 6.2 in the mustang is to challange the camaro which is getting a 6.1 or a 7.0 with around 450hp. The Challanger is gonna have around 440 hp i dont really know.

so leave some replys if i missed out on anything.

just so you know, dealers are pretty dumb about any future items.

Trust what you read here, not what you hear there.

And from sources here, 6.2 is not scheduled to ever be seen in the mustang.

6.1 with gas prices these days is not going to be very eco-friendly. It is somewhat intriguing, but I can't see a Mustang with that much power being a real production model. As a Cobra or something, yes, but jumping more than 100 horses from this model to the next is pretty ridiculous. GT-S? Maybe? Something that means that we can get our GT's at a fairly reasonable prices with a good engine without making the price jump to match the new performance bump.

well yea your right. But you also can see for the last few years fords mustang hasent had a challange for sometime now. It has out lasted the chevys camaro and dodges charger and challanger. Bateman ps im getting papers on that 6.2 mustang in early next year.

While I think a 4.6 3V, uprated to maybe 350hp, in the GT; a 400hp 4V 5.0 in a neo Boss 302 type model and then a torquey "big block" 6.2 with maybe around 425hp in a drag-racing Mach I model would be a dream lineup, current gas and other conditions would probably nix the big motor. If Ford does feel it needs more steam in the boiler room for, say, the GT500, I would imagine lashing a pair of turbos and DI on the 5.0.

But who knows, Ford could really surprise us ... positively ... for once.

i would strongly agree with you on the line ups. Ford has bein doing alright for the last few years but if they can make the 6.2 up to 465 horse power atleast with atleast 430 torque would be a nice car but depends on which gears they use for the 6 gear tranny... usally we have big and beafy gears.

Not to mention, does that further exacerbate the weight issues the GT500 suffers from by putting an even heavier engine up front, thus either throwing the weight distribution balance off or necessitating heavier components throughout the rear of the car to provide a better balance?

From a performance standpoint, I think the standard bigger engine thing isn't a step in the right direction. I'd rather see Ford make a better all around car with better handling, lighter weight, and slightly more power. In other words, I'm a bigger fan of Koni challenge than drag racing. Just my opinion, but I'd rather be able to speak to the world community about the performance of my car and not just the dodge and chevy guys.

5.0
No 6.2

End of line

Trust us on this one... my index finger's nail knows more than most dealers.
hahaha

well ill have to say it depends on what they make the motor out of like for one use aluminum but after awhile it starts to warp from high temp or they can use alloy which is a pretty good metal and lighter than cast. but i think the new mustangs weighs around 3600 to the camaro around 3980 and the challanger to 4150. They all are gonna have a 6.0 and up. So i dont know if Ford can make the car light, DIG, and lighter engine materials then their might be a chance to balance it out. I dont know tho

429 Boss Mustang

lmao Ok bro ill agree with ya on this one but just to be safe on the good side. What if they do put a 6.2 in the new mustangs for like a boss or a mach 1

Boomer

keep dreamin

If you followed the Boss engines...in order

-used to be multiple variations: 5.8 and 6.2
-5.8 was in the mustang, 6.2 in the truck
-same physical size, but used more stroke to achieve the added displacement
-big/heavy
-5.8 was axed
-6.2 was mustang/truck
-6.2 mustang was axed, 5.0 was created
-5.0 4v(302) being made, 6.2 truck duty only

If they choose to add TwinForce to the 5.0,
you won't even remember how to spell 6.2
You're more likley to see that before you see a 6.2 gas sucker/overweight hog.

Lets face it, with gas prices and the functionality of the 5.0 4v
the chances of the 6.2 going in the car are slim/none...and slim just left town.

429 Boss Mustang

lol cha prob just a dream Im a big fan of the 4.6 sounds awsome and if they do come out wiht a 5.0 it be even tighter. but do you think it be able to beat the new challanger and camaro with just 400 hp?

Boomer

in a word...yes...

429 Boss Mustang

yea man a tt 5.0 would blow my mind away from a 6.2. what would that be in like a limted 302 boss

429 Boss Mustang

Works for me lmao All i drive is fords and i could beat my sisters gmc 1500 with a 350 with my 1992 f 150 with a 300 inline 6 stock lmao. i also have a 1978 f 250 with a 460 we stomped the new hemis easy lmao

Boomer

In like a 'you can't afford it'
hahah

No seriously... if we EVER see that (and I'm just saying that cause I know they were throwing the possiblity around, but as of now we wouldn't see anything like that until a redesign) i'd guess past 2015 in a Shelby/GT500/Cobra like car.
Top of the line-ish

the Mustang GT and SE's will be in the 400-450hp range

At this point your more likely to see an EcoBoost 3.5 in the stang as an SE before you see the 5.0TT (it's still a pipedream at this point)

429 Boss Mustang

yea, i would love to see a small 5.0 (302) with 435 or 450 horse power vs a 6.0 and up and put chevy to shame with thier huge *** motors and weight of the huge *** cars

429 Boss Mustang

Well hey boomer what do you think of the new look of the mustang. and it will come with a choice of fog lights

Boomer

Well 400 to start me thinks ... but the mustang will have weight on its side.

As for the looks, I have no idea.
Other than the spy shots we've seen.

I like what I see so far though

429 Boss Mustang

well boomer i like what i see too and i seen it uncovered on a magizine. Did you perhaps seen it?
