2011 GT500
So we have the low down on the GT and V6, so whats in store for the 2011 GT500?
2010 Mustang V6
4.0-liter V6 210 hp and 240 ft-lb of torque
2011 Mustang V6
3.7-liter V6 305 hp and 280 ft.-lb of torque
+ 95 hp and 40 ft.-lb of torque
2010 Mustang GT
4.6-liter V8 315 hp and 320 ft-lbs of torque
2011 Mustang GT
5.0-liter V8 412 hp and 390 ft-lbs of torque
+ 97 hp and 70 ft-lbs of torque
2010 Ford Shelby GT500
5.4-liter SC V8 540 hp and 510 ft-lbs of torque
2011 Ford Shelby GT500
Aluminum 5.4-liter SC??? hp and ??? ft-lbs of torque
or
TT 5.0-liter V8 ??? hp and ??? ft-lbs of torque
The average hp increase was 96 and the average torque was 55, that puts the current 2010 GT500 numbers at 636 hp and 565 ft-lbs of torque for 2011. I don’t think the GT500 will have those numbers, but since its S197 introduction it has had roughly 200 hp over the GT. So will the 2011 GT500 have 600+? or a small 15 hp/tq bump?

Yeah, it will get very little more in hp I would think. Maybe up to 550 to be nice. The 200 pounds off the nose will do AMAZING things to handling, braking, and acceleration. I think it will make a monumental difference without a huge hp increase. Maybe tougher engine tech means more modability/power potential as well, dunno. I just dont think it will get rated much higher.

Considering the current GT500 has a hefty curb weight of 3950 lbs.
Yeah, weight reduction is the right way to go. She has plenty of power, now she just needs to go on Atkins for a little while..
