I'll pick up a GT Premium with the new Trackpack.
IF, and this is a big if, I can get it for less than 33k. My current dealer is quoting me 30k out the door for a GT Premium with trackpack, stripes, upgraded interior, and a few other little things...the car stickers at ~34k...so 4k off MSRP. If the new GT with the 6 speed, trackpack, and 400hp can be had in premium trim for 36k, I'll be able to get a deal for ~4k under that and still swing below my self imposed price cap....
Here's hoping!

2011 Ford Mustang specs hit the Web
2011 Ford Mustang specs hit the Web

Ford updated the Mustang for the 2010 model year, but largely ignored the car’s engine bay. However, that will likely change for the 2011 model year, with details of the Mustang’s new powertrains hitting the Web on Wednesday.
As previously reported on these pages, the base Mustang will be powered by Ford’s 3.7L V6 for the 2011 model year. Although that engine produces 273 horsepower in Lincoln applications, power will be ramped up to 315 horsepower for the Mustang, according to The Mustang Source. That represents a significant increase of 105 horsepower over the current V6-powered Mustang and an 11 horsepower advantage of the Chevrolet Camaro V6.
A 400 horsepower 5.0L V8 motor will also be joining the Mustang lineup for 2011. Dubbed ‘Coyote’, the new mill will be used in the Mustang GT model and will be available with a six-speed manual transmission – something the Camaro has offered since 1993.
Combined with Ford’s latest track pack, the 2011 Mustang GT reportedly lapped Michigan’s GingerMan Raceway dead-even with the current BMW M3 — despite a 200 pound weight disadvantage.
Because Ford’s 365 horsepower EcoBoost motor would leave little to differentiate the V6 Mustang from the 400 horsepower V8 model, there are no current plans to use the turbocharged engine in the Mustang in the immediate future. However, the Mustang GT will likely see a power boost in the coming years, possibly opening the door for a turbocharged Mustang.
Other changes to the Mustang line for 2011 include an aluminum block for the Shelby GT500 model. A Boss model is on tap for 2012.

It's too bad they have to be so nice and not "screw over" every GT owner in history by not putting the ecoboost in...
That would be pretty awesome.
Although they already are screwing over S197 owners with the 315 HP V6 lol...
These new cars Ford's pushing out are going to be crazy fast for stock cars - I can't wait to see some numbers though
