these car companies always make their cars faster, more powerful year after year. and yes as long as a camaro can't hang (which it already couldn't) with a mustang then i dont really care. i heard the new camaro isn't even as fun to drive a mustang and that says it all right there.
bottom line is modding something to be better is more fun to me than buying something with a high stock hp.

do you really think it would be possible to swap that engine in our cars? they are saying that the 5.0 fills the engine bay in the 2011 to the point where there isnt enough room to put a turbo in it, dont they have bigger engine bays than we do? our cars are probably lighter too so id consider a swap lol

All mod motors have the same 100mm bore spacing, its the deck height that is different between the 4.6/5.0 and the 5.4L. The 4.6L and 5.0L share the same deck height so it will still be the same ol 26.xx inches wide valve cover tip to valve cover tip.

anybody else a little depressed that the new v6 is gonna have more power than an 04 GT, and that the base line Gt will have 412 hp? is it wrong that i feel like i need to sell my 04 GT which i bought just a year ago just to keep up with the times? hp does matter to me, even though i still like the 99-04 body style better...baahhhhh...what to do...the 5.0 is within reach for me

^How is that possible? I mean it will be the same horsepower as the new GT and they both are comparable in weight. The GT should be comparable in the quarter and i would say would be comparable in the corners as well. If there is any mustang but the new edge i would want, it would be the 2011's. I mean the rear end leaves some to be desired, but put the shelby rear on them and they look ****!!! And some nice 4" exhaust tips too.

The 2011 is not only much faster, it will out handle all older Mustangs as well.
