To get the better mileage with the '11 V6 you won't be driving it in the upper rpms & that's where the power is.

For us the sound & low end power was what we were looking for.
4.6 V8 sounds better then 5.0 V8 then 3.7 V6 then 4.0 V6.

They are all great cars depending what you are looking for.

Well I don't know what to tell you but EVERY single video and review I have seen shows them performing identically in performance depending on what gear, etc. In the 1/4 and 0-60 is identical. I'm not going to be at WOT in either car the vast majority of the time so the fuel mileage is important to me. If they perform the same then why not go with the car that gets 30% better gas mileage? I just could never justify a '10 gt unless they are willing to REALLY adjust that price.

A manual tranny was not an option for me(wife's car) so I drove the auto versions of the 10 GT, 11 V6 & the 11 5.0. For real world driving the 10 GT was the best performer. The 1-2 shift on the 6 speed auto was very slow and both the 3.7 & 5.0 would bog down until the rpms picked up. That doesn't happen with the 4.6 5 speed auto. Go drive them yourself you will see.

Driving the 11 Mustangs (3.7 & 5.0) like you stole them and they are very impressive. I so wanted to get the 5.0/6 speed but it wasn't the best choice for our needs.
