have been reading alot of threads about the new 5.0 going into the Gts in 2011 and even a few posts that said production will stop on the 4.6 and 5.4 so what does this mean for the 2011 GT500 does this mean it might be getting a supercharged 5.0 or maybe a hopped up 6.2 like is goin in the Raptor

from what i have heard around the campfire is that the 2011 will get an aluminum block 5.4 and in 2012, they will have a supercharged 5.0

hhhmmm i was really hoping for a 6.2L maybe with a supercharger with somewhere around 550-575HP because i am planning on getting a GT500 i just want the best motor option and i dont know if i could wait till the 2012 model year

mac10chap

me too...i was pricing 2010 gt500s until i heard the news and now am planning on waiting till atleast next year.

I think i am going to stick with my order on the '10 gt500. Even if the 2011 gets the aluminum block, in 2012 they will have the new 5.0 supercharged. Where does it end lol. Wait till 2011 to order and then you will be saying crap i should wait till 2012 when a whole new engine comes out.

The only other option is getting a 2010 and just trade it in when the 2011/2012 come out depending on what they are equipped with.

Here-here. I've been waiting three years, an have a 2010 GT500 on order now. Who knows if Ford will even be around after 2010- really; If GM liquidates, which is a possibility, it will have a huge, negative impact for the rest. So, I'll take my cast iron block, quad-valve Kona Blue beast now. I'd probably bust the aluminum block version anyway. Who really intends to drive these on a figure 8 or oval race track anyway? Not me. I'd rather have the "coolest car in town" now. These cars will not be around forever-

No you aren't. You're a teenager with bad grammar trying to stir **** up on a Mustang site.
