I am very interested in what your final thoughts are on the engine.
I have the OK from the other half to trade our truck in for one,should I decide.
I think it would look good snuggled up in the garage next to the GT500.
Please beat the hell out of it,and report back.

Make some videos!!!!!!!
I'd like to hear the exhaust at idle, revving, etc. I wanna see how different 4 valves sound on there than the 3 valve.
Oh and take the mufflers off and make some exhaust videos like that too!
I gotta hear that sweet FIVE POINT OH!

Doing some tests at work, and the test vehicle assigned to me is a 2011 5.0 (in a 2010 torch red body... saves on camo I guess). Pretty impressive so far (despite being an automatic), though I'm not sure there's that much of a difference in feel as to where I'd instantly trade in my 2010 for it.
...though my 2010 is in storage for the winter, so it's hard to do a direct comparison.
Will post more in the next few days as I drive it more.
Have I mentioned how much I love my job?

The lower rear plastic is different I think, kinda like a GT500 diffuser/splitter type thing? Other than that, from the pictures released I dont see any other differences.
I'm curious too, though.

That is what he is saying. SInce there isnt a body chage, he doesn't have to drive around with the car covered up. Body wise the only real difference between '10 and '11 is the 5.0 badge
