The old fox '5.0' is an American icon, even to the younger generation as there are still so many 5.0 foxes running today. It seems like a no-brainer to me.

Bring back the 5.0 badge with a slight "updated" feel

Does anyone even know if it's a 302?

I won't own one, but I think GT is more likely.

5.0 would be cooler though for sure.

I apologize for my above post, I was drunk and took your post as a bash at the 4.6l for some odd reason.

I'd love to see a 302 badge, but a redesigned 5.0 badge would still be sweet. They should rock the GT badge on the back and put the 302 or 5.0 on the sides.

Default 2011 Mustang with the 5.0 fender badge.

The Mustang is not just an iconic pony car or a retro-modern throw-back to simpler times. It's a fan-favorite performance vehicle that has a rabid and enthusiastic base of drivers, tuners and manufacturers behind it. So news of the return of the '5.0' badge to the front fender of the 2011 Mustang GT is likely to be met with a roar of approval.

Ford last stuck the 5.0 badge on the Mustang when it was last powered by a 5.0L V8. So now that the 5.0L Coyote V8 is expected to replace the current 4.6L V8, it makes sense that the 5.0 badge would return.

That logic is backed up by reports from a post at MustangSource who claims a Ford parts list contains an entry for the 2011 Mustang with the 5.0 fender badge.

Expect a badge familiar to fans and highly reminiscent of the badge used from 1979-1993 - chrome numbers with a red 'dot' between the 5 and the 0. But also expect it to get a modernized tweak, much like the running horse badge did for the 2010 Mustang.

Check out our article on the upcoming 3.7L V6 and 5.0L - possibly 400hp - V8 Coyote engine for the 2011 Mustang for more info.

My vote is put the pony and tri-bar emblem on the fender and a 302 badge on the front of the fender near the headlight to give it that real muscle car nostalgic look
