Default 2011 Mustangs...

just got my periodical FORD newsletter/brochure and the 2011's will be cranking out 305hp/280torq on a 3.7L with the capability of up to 30mpg. The GT's will see the return of the 5.0 cranking out 412hp (forgot the exact torq). The timing seems just right as the new camaro and challenger have already settled in and the hype has subdued. mustang should see another spike in sales. probably old news to some but i'm sure its new to many. now i REALLY need that X to keep up!

Ford... the first and last great american car company!

Motor Trend's lastest issue shows the GT350 as well as the 2011 V6. Nice to see dual exhaust on the V6.

412/390 for the GT! The new GT500 has an all-aluminum architecture with this special cylinder lining technology called PTWA. You guys should read about it:

Its pretty sweet that the six comes with a LSD now. I wonder if the 5.0 and 3.7 share the same rear end...

The V6 starts at around $23k and the GT starts around $28k, I believe.
