2011 mustang GT
Mine has 500 miles on it now and I think It's great. It's black w/black, auto and 5 spokes.
A couple things that is/are different from the other S197s.
No gas cap,
Engine holds 8 gts of oil.
I,m still learning.

What in the world is the point of this thread?
hahaha!!!!
Not trying to be mean.
It just reminds me of one of my mother's stories that
you keep waiting to go somewhere but has no point and does NOT end
up going anywhere.
"I went to the store, the store was a 7 eleven and the front door was glass"
Like random talking with no rhyme or reason haha!

The 2010 Mustang GT builds on the standard Mustang's features with the addition of a more powerful version of the familiar 4.6 L V8 seen in 2005–2009 Mustang GTs. Being revised to specifications similar to that of the 2008–2009 Mustang Bullitt's version of the engine, the 2010 Mustang GT's V8 offers 315 bhp (235 kW) @ 6000rpm and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m) of torque @ 4250rpm. However, the 5-speed manual and automatic transmissions offered with the updated V8 continue unchanged from before. The size of the 2010 Mustang GT's dual exhaust tips has been increased by one-half of an inch to 3.5 inches while the exhaust note has been improved to enhance the sound of the V8.[26] Like the base V6-equipped Mustang, the 2010 Mustang GT includes new spring rates and dampers to improve ride quality and control. AdvanceTrac is also standard in the Mustang GT though a special Sport Mode setting is added for spirited driving. The 2010 Mustang GT comes with standard 18-inch wheels – one inch greater than the previous Mustang GT's standard wheels – while 19-inch wheels are a new option.[24]
Newly available for the Mustang GT for 2010 are two performance packages. The 3.73 Axle Package features higher performance front brake pads, a more aggressive 3.73:1 rear axle, and a recalibrated AdvanceTrac system. The Track Package features higher performance front and rear brake pads, stabilizer bars and rear lower control arms from the GT500, uniquely tuned shocks and struts, Pirelli summer tires (includes automatic upgrade to 19-inch wheels), a 3.73:1 rear axle with carbon plates in the differential, and a recalibrated AdvanceTrac system.[22][29]
In spite of enhancements to the Mustang GT's 4.6 L V8 for 2010, an all-new V8 engine replaces it for 2011, complete with new transmissions and other upgrades. The Mustang GT's new engine is an all-aluminum 5.0 L DOHC V8, codenamed Coyote. The 2011 Mustang GT marks the engine's first use in any production vehicle. While the new engine's displacement hearkens back to Ford's original "5.0" 4.9 L (302 cu in) V8, it is an unrelated design and instead shares more in common with the 4.6 L V8 and other Modular engines that it replaces. In particular, the new 5.0 uses a DOHC head design like other Modular engines and even shares its bore spacing and deck height with the outgoing 4.6 L V8. Differing the new engine from earlier Modular engines, among other features, is its use of wider bore diameters (and a longer stroke relative to the 4.6 L V8 in particular), to allow the use of larger valves, and camshaft torque-actuated Twin-independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti-VCT). In spite of its more advanced design, the new engine weighs in at approximately 430 lb (195 kg) – about 10 lb (5 kg) heavier than the Mustang GT's previous 4.6 L V8. Using premium grade, 91-octane or better gasoline, the new 5.0 L V8 can produce 412 bhp (307 kW) @ 6500rpm and 390 lb·ft (529 N·m) of torque @ 4250rpm.[30] Output of the 5.0 drops to 402 bhp (300 kW) @ 6500rpm and 377 lb·ft (511 N·m) of torque @ 4250rpm when regular grade gasoline is used.[31]
Like the updated V6 Mustang, the Mustang GT also gets new transmissions for 2011. Both transmissions are heavier duty versions of the same designs offered with the V6 Mustang; a Getrag/Ford MT82 6-speed manual transmission and Ford's 6R80 6-speed automatic transmission. The 6-speed manual transmission comes with a 3.31:1 rear axle while 6-speed automatics get a taller 3.15:1 rear axle. Combined with its new, more efficient V8, the new 6-speed transmissions contribute to an improvement in fuel economy in the 2011 Mustang GT over its counterpart from the 2010 model year. As certified by the EPA, manual transmission models are able to achieve 17 mpg-US (14 L/100 km; 20 mpg-imp) in city and 26 mpg-US (9.0 L/100 km; 31 mpg-imp) on the highway while automatic transmission models are able to achieve 18 mpg-US (13 L/100 km; 22 mpg-imp) in city and 25 mpg-US (9.4 L/100 km; 30 mpg-imp) on the highway.[32]
The Mustang GT gains the same non-powertrain related upgrades that standard V6 Mustangs get for 2011. Other, new features exclusive to the 2011 Mustang GT include "5.0" fender badges replacing the "GT" badges used previously, an optional Brembo Brake Package taken from the Shelby GT500 (comes with unique 19-inch wheels), and suspension enhancements. Convertible versions of the Mustang GT in particular received a front strut tower brace, stiffened crossmembers, and other enhancements resulting in a 12% increase in structural rigidity compared to 2010 Mustang GT convertibles.[

Ok
I just thought it was cool with no gas cap and holds 8 qts of oil. My 09 didn't have these features. I never even looked at a 2011 before I drove it home. I guess most people go threw their future car with a fine tooth comb. The point of the thread is that I like the 2011. That's all.
