Imagine how the buyers of the 2010 Mustang feel. I hate to say this, but 10 years from now, we'll all think of 2010 as the "in between" year that no one is going to want. A couple of years from now the 2010s will be selling for a song on the used car market. The 2005-09 at least had classic exterior styling and was comparatively inexpensive. I have a 2008 'vert. Am I sorry I bought it? No way! I got it dirt cheap used and smile every time I get in it. With just a few few inexpensive mods it has become a credible car.

05-09 gts will still be faster than the 2011 v6 so dont worry. I imagine the v6 2011 will run around mid to low 14s in the quarter.

haha yea, my brother in law got a 2010 gt and he was saying how it would be cool to put a 6 speed in it later down the road. guess he should have waited.

Once Ford cranks up the V6 Model over 300HP the insurance rates will climb accordingly...Insurance companies will see that horsepower increase as a "performance" increase and essentially an engine with the same potential as the current GTs...I can't imagine Ford making that kind of a mistake when they depend a lot on V6 Model Customers...(besides they have never increased the V6 engine with that kind of a jump in horsepower in all the previous years)... Insurance companies will not like this...trust me...

looks like it's going to be a bad *** little car. The GT is going to be rreeaally nice!

I am not really bothered by it or feel like I missed out on anything.. I still plan on building my motor and getting a fat *** blower making some serious boost.

(-;

All that and they have the ghey looking rear end? the heck..

Well looks like I'm gonna have to accelerate the turbo plans. I think this car will run quicker than low 14's.
So whose gonna be the first 6 to pull the swap..?
