Yeah, this info was published earlier. There's a thread in the 2010 forum. Still waiting to hear about their plans for the GT.

And the photos in the link show duals on the V6 too.

I'm not sure if I am happy or sad about this. It does make the 2011 more appealing. I kinda wanted to always think my 2007 Pony Package was the best of the V6's. Oh well.

How do you think the owners of the 05-09 GTs feel?

way to go Ford. I love seeing the Blue Oval get a good combo put together


hope it works out well. I only take it as a Challenge. doesn't really bother me. there will always be a bigger and badder version of my car to come along each year. Just means I need to be smarter with how I spend my $$$ modding the car and reaching my HP/TQ goals.


I am highly interested in that 6 speed though. I wonder if it will be a mostly direct swap?

Every year you can wait the better something will be. I'm not concerned one bit. How much do you think the new V6 will be. I just recently saw pricing on the 2010 GT and can't believe how much more the car is than what the 06 GT was going for new.

I guess it's time for me to spend some money on a blower just so I don't get smoked by a stock 2011 sixxer lol.. Good news though. That's why I loved the new camaro's. I knew ford would have to come out with something to compete. Don't you just love competition ? heh

Looks like I'm definitely getting a 2011 GT. I had planned to anyway but this confirms that there will be a serious performance boost in the GT as well.
