2011 Powertrain Confirmed
The most significant development is the confirmation of the V6 powerplant, which will be a 3.7L 315hp V6.
The "Coyote" is no surprise.

"likely change"="confirmed"????
If true it would make for an impressive line.. and smoke the crap outta chebby! That'd be awesome of course, though my 2010 will def need the boost so as not to look slow by its sister models.

Listen to afoust50. This could be true. Then again maybe not.
If it is then this is an incredibly large bump. 85hp over the previous model year. That's the largest power spike from one model to the next that I know of. Kind of a slap in the face for those people that bought the 2010.
I wouldn't be surprised if the reality falls short of the expectations.

It is a reality.
No it is not a slap in the face of 2010 owners, Ford knew that the new model would have all the 'gotta-have-its' buying them up, while the real performance enthusiasts would be sitting and waiting, because of the at that point and time, rumored 5.0.
All of the 5.0 news/leaks/whatever you want to call them, have been controlled leaks by Ford, dropping hints and throwing bones to their performance fans.
It is a marketing strategy.

Nope... the 4.6L, and the N//A 5.4 are totally dead after this model year. They are being replaced with the 5.0 ACROSS THE BOARD. Meaning, no more 4.6 in the mustang, no more 5.4 in the trucks, its going to be 5.0 everywhere..
