2011 Mustang V6 December 02, 2009, 09:13:18 PM I can't believe Ford is going for so much HP in the base Mustang for 2011:http://www.fordvehicles.com/newsevents/news/newsdetail/?id=200&referrer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eford%2Ecom&glbcmp=ford|homeOf course this makes me feel like a loser since my '07 GT only is rated at 300hp...but torque is what makes the wheels go 'round.

Either auto's now take less power or people need to learn how to drive...Look at the difference between auto and manual fusions. Supposedly the auto gets 34 hwy while the manual only manages 31? Gearing? Quote Selected

It sure feels like more to me. And while I agree, a blower would put a smile on my face I think the wife and the bank account would not be very happy.I just think its crazy that the previous generation (99-04) Mustang GT 4.6 2v had what, 260hp? And now the V6 model is going to be sporting over 300! Hell the '04 Mach 1's had about 305 hp (I'm sure they are more potent than this V6 due to more torque). Its crazy how things are progressing. Its like 1969 all over again sometimes. Quote Selected
