Thanks for all your responses. Based on all the your responses, I think the answer is obvious. I'll let you how I make out.

What kind of question is this? Of course get the 5.0, you'll regret not have the 412 hp to start off with. Even with the money I've spent on modding my car, I would trade it in in a heart beat for a 5.0.

I'd definitely go for the 2011.. it's a question of practicality (basically brand new) versus power. I'd much rather have the 97hp gain (pretty sure 2010 had 315hp). You would need a blower to get that kind of power out of the 2010

The 5.0 not only has 100 more horsepower; it's also no less economical than the 4.6. I think the 2011s are a little heavier than the '10s (correct me if I'm wrong,) but the extra horsepower makes up for it

Go for the 2011.

Really?


Ok, all kidding aside, 2011 hands down! The only reason I did not trade up is my 08 is paid off & I have well over 10K into it. If it were stock vs. stock, no competition.

2010 no 5.0, 2011 5.0. It's pretty obvious.

I would go for the 2011 because of the 5.0 even with the extra miles.

Not only does the 2011 have the 5.0L engine; but it comes with a six-speed transmission instead of just five. No-brainer!!

+1

Those 2 reasons would make the decision for me.
