I know they are completely different animals, but the performance won't be too far off. Unless they bump it up to 350 with the 4.6.
So if we don't hear anything about an upgraded v6 down the road, then i would start to get worried, but to compete they need to upgrade next year.(should have this year)
The V6 is pretty much a given to be upgraded just to get an engine with better gas mileage in there.

yeah, it will be a little more like that.

hehehehehehe just kidding!
That is SO not funny.

Say hello to the 2011 Mustang, folks >>

Its probably not a SE per se if its not the regular engine, more the upfitters pack.
Meaning its not limited to a low ammount, serialized, nor marketted as such.
What about the Bullit? Same engine as GT but different tune.

Wrong again. If you had been following these forums long enough you would know that there are several very knowledgeable individuals who frequently post here that know things on certain topics that they cannot, by legal agreement, reveal until Ford authorizes.

This is one of those topics...

While its most the same,
its the difference of 15-20hp between the 2...not exactly mind blowing.

They won't release the same engine with 50+ hp between the 2.
If so, who'd spend the money on the 400hp+ version when they can just tune the 350HP version to 400+
Get what I'm sayin?

Not to mention the amount of money they would have to burn to recertify basically the same engine through EPA and such. If Ford had cash to burn maybe, but in this current state of affairs I highly doubt it. I believe you are correct.

I gotcha. That makes sense. The EPA cert argument is a compelling one as well.

100% that there will be a 5.0L, maybe not 2011, but for sure.

The 5.0 V8 is supposed to replace the 4.6 V8, and the 3.5 liter V6 is supposed to replace the 4.0 liter V6 in 2011.

I am 100% certain that the 5.0 will be powering the 2011 GT.*

Oh, I have been following the forum long enough to know that there are people who claim to have the knowledge. I used to believe in the Tooth Fairy too. These days, it takes more than someone telling me something for me to take it as gospel. If the supposed "400 HP 5.0L engine" doesn't happen in the 2011 MY, I'm sure you guys won't believe in the Tooth Fairy anymore either. LOL
