Default 2011 Mustang V6 makes me pissed and happy.

I think it's great that the V6 will finally be a competitor.

And it makes me mad that it has 5 hp more than a stock 05-09 GT and 10 hp less than a 10 GT. You know for sure that the 11 GT will have more HP, which makes me even madder.

EVERYTIME I buy ANYTHING, something better comes out. That's the way it works, I know..

What say ye?

It's called progress... when your car was new the faster model Mustangs were 3 years out. The 2011 GT will more than likely be slower than the 2014 Mustang GT. You should pretty much always expect that the next model is going to be better performing.

Yeah. Just think, in a hundred or so years these things will be able to travel at the speed of light, making time travel possible. Just kiddin' but you know where I'm going. I'm perfectly happy with my v6 because it fits me in every way.

I love it for the fact it is going to have great hp/tq stock a stock lsd, better stock brakes,better stock suspension, better instrumentation, better sound deadening, stock dual exhaust, 6-speed manual/auto trans, better aero package, looks like the glass roof should be available on the 3.7, love the idea of a perf pack just wish it was going to have more hp, like the fact you will be able to get a 6 with 19" wheels, great to see all this progress in 1 freaking model years time.
Otherwise I hate Ford and myself for buying not one but 2 2010 mustangs when if I had waited a freaking year I could have scooped up a 2011 for probably about the same money and that they didn't do the paddle shifters or offer a syncro transmission waaaaaaaaaaa

You also said you're pissed, right?

So people bitch because the Mustang is underpowered and people bitch when it comes to par with the competition...
In which way does that make sense?
I don't plan to own a 2011 but I'm happy for those who will.

lol... are you selling your 2010 because of the new 2011 coming? lol Or some other reason..

Because if you're selling it becaus eyou want a 2011... I find that highly amusing :-)

No one has mentioned a price hike on these new V6 yet?
Because with all the new goodies, it might make the base Mustang an expensive ride.
In that case, I'll join the OP, I'll be pissed...

As long as it's not more than the Camaro it'll be ok. Otherwise Ford will be cutting their own throat.
