* 3.7L V6 to be rated at 315 horsepower: Same as 2010 GT; 15 hp more than Camaro V6
* No immediate plans for EcoBoost V6 Mustang due to small horsepower gap between EcoBoost and 5.0L V8 (365 vs 400)
* 2011 Mustang GT to be rated at 400 horsepower, will get increase in 2012
* 2011 Mustang GT to get 6-speed transmission and variable valve timing
* 2011 Mustang GT Track Pack to include Brembo brakes
* 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L V8, 6-speed, track pack, Brembo brakes ran even with 414-hp BMW M3, which is 200 lbs lighter, at GingerMan Raceway in South Haven, Michigan
* 2011 Shelby GT500 to get Aluminum Block
* Next special edition: 2012 Boss
I'm really surprised by 315hp out of the 3.7L. That's 40hp more then it's current applications. Disappointed that there are not any plans for a Ecoboost Mustang. I'm guessing the Brembo brakes will be sourced from the GT500.
it will be the mass produced enge that is replacing all current 4.6L engines.. now it will have 4 cams now.. and 1 extra valve.. dunno how that affects their bottom line but im betting Ford is going to go for the throat if they can and take up as much market share next year as possible by keeping prices as competitive as possible w/o losing money.
no more than $2,000-3,000 increase is my guess too..

Yeah not to mention it's supposed to replace the 5.4 as well.
Instead of a 4.6 and 5.4 just a 5.0, instead of two factories they'll have just one. Hopefully that'll help keep the price low.
If that is true, that would be awesome! I really want an EVO IV, but I would REALLY have to consider this if I don't have one by then. 400HP in a factory mustang is something I could really get down with. I also like the idea of 4 valves and a six speed. Anyone know about the torque rating? My guess is that it will be around 365 ft/lbs or so. Would be sweet if it was close to 400/400. though.
