Default looks like '10 mustang is just getting a face lift

it's in the new Car And Driver mag. granted there will be a new 6.2L SOHC V8 with 400hp but pretty much everything else will stay the same. Gt gets the 4.6 3v and the 4.0 aint going anywhere. can anyone put sum pix or the artical up on this cuz i dont know how to do tht kind of crap on a computer.

The 2010 Mustang is getting more than just a facelift. All info points to the 3V 4.6 being replaced by a 3V 5.0 making around 350hp.....and the 4.0 being replaced with the 3.5 making about 265hp. Then there's all the hype and talk of an ecoboost V6 (twin turbo) making 320-350hp......5.0 numbers with much better MPG. Then there's the big boy "Hurricane/Boss" motors that we keep hearing about. I could go on...

Only thing I'm curious about right now is whether Ford is sticking with the live axle or upgrading to IRS to compete witht the Challenger and Camaro.

they better use a 5.0 and a 3.5. man a 3.5 would send the base stang 0 to 60 in like 6.3 seconds. the 5.0 will prob do it in 5 seconds lol. and eccoboosts are amazing.

V6 or V8, the 2010 Ford Mustang will likely offer a six-speed automatic transmission to replace today’s five-speed option, great with OEM car parts.

I like the looks of the current S-197 better than the pic on the cover of Car and Driver. But that's just my humble opinion.

Does anyone else think that C & D's article reaks of speculation and nothing more? I meanif you are the folks at C & D,why not putthe 2010 Mustang on the cover of yourmagazine? I'm sure they did itin the hopes that all ofthe Mustang faithful out there would buy a copy. If ya ask me it was pretty slick of them.I'm sure that they sold a couple of extra copies this monthw/out really telling us anything useful oreven anything based on fact.I know I shelled out $ 4 bucks for their magazine just because of the pic and the headline on the cover.
