I'm just hoping that there is significant room for improvements with bolt-ons, unlike the 4.6. Don't wanna spend 1k for some nice headers and gain 10hp.

I am pretty happy that my 06' GT comes with a lighter curb weight initially, and after Supercharging and changing out the suspension and doing a weight loss routine( no body or interior compromises), I will have a car that only weighs 3410 lbs, lots less rotating mass than most GT's, handles fantastically and has 510 HP with only 7lbs boost.

This will make me feel better inside when I see a 2011 pull up next to me in a few months.

In 4 years, my 06 should have over 120,000 miles on it... time to get an 11 (I always buy 3 year old cars, let someone else take the hit on depreciation!)

The 5.0 sounds good but I’m not buying another Mustang GT until they fix the butt end. Maybe in 2012.

High comp is GOOD for nitrous.

I think i'll end up keeping my 10' Gt and giving it to my son someday....I also will probably end up getting a 2014. For now I'm going to just enjoy my 2010

I'm surprised there isn't a complete aftermarket rear end package that changes the tails and bumper yet. I can't wait to test drive an '11!
