Default 2011 v8 engine problem too?

I recall the thread on here about someone with a 2011 v6 had engine problems. Saw this on youtube. Guy said the engine had timing problems and Ford ended up building him a entirely new car!

Are there more problems with the 2011 Mustang than we thought?

My mom suggested I don't buy the new Mustang next summer when they are cheaper and to wait a couple years when I graduate and buy a car I really want. I assume she means Zo6 or Shelby KR.

I LOVE the Challenger it's a super sexy car but the thing is a pig weight was. Really ashame. I heard they are redesigning it in order to make it lighter. A Challenger that weights 3800 pounds would smoke.

I work there and I haven't heard that, just further proof you have no idea what you are talking about.

I've seen it posted on this forum and read other forums and blogs that the rumors are that the Challenger is going to be redesigned and will have a weight reduction.

Why the hell does the Challenger weight so damn much for? Even the Camaro Id like to see a little lighter.

80MPH in 3 sec is already alcohol burning drag strip dedicated track only cars. Well, save for maybe a super expensive exotic car like a Veyron
