New member here.
For the 2011 mustang gt owner's i would like some opinions on what you think of the car, I'm thinking of prolly getting an auto how's the trans,how's the handling and what's this i keep hearing about engine issues? Anyway I'm still deciding on whether I want to sell my 1994 mustang gt vert and 1986 buick grandnational to get this car, so your opinions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

The auto trans is strong in the new setup. Only you can decide if selling those two cars is worth a new or newer stang. New motor is awesome but ford can now tell if you have tuned it and your warranty will be toast. Something to think about if your a mod addict like most of us are.

What about a 4.10 gears upgrade?

he said tuned - and yeah, an intake requires a tune.
that doesn't mean it's going to blow up - there were a handful of cases of the #8 cyl failing mostly due to tuning issues. obviously if you fiddle with the engine programming and cause the engine to fail, you're on the hook. don't sound so surprised. there are thousands of people running tunes without issue.
you can upgrade gears without worry (to an extent), and the auto trans is very stout.
