5.0 Badges are back Reply #1 – December 27, 2009, 11:47:28 PM Wow, that thing is sure crammed into that open space. Too bad it still won't have the low, low torque (and its related fuel economy) that made the original 5.0's so great. Of course they have 50 years and a few new tricks underneath it to get some of that back. Quote Selected

5.0 Badges are back Reply #6 – December 28, 2009, 12:57:26 PM I have been reading up on both of the 2011 Mustangs.A V-6 that makes 305 hp AND 30 MPG with an automatic...WOWAnd with the GT @ 412 HP on the motor is super impressive if they can keep the weight down.Congrats to Ford for now having some ammo for the Pony car war. :D (...or is that clidesdale war....)

That and greater control over the ignition events will make the fuel economy much better too.Hopefully I'll be able to afford a nice used 2011 GT when I graduate from chiropractic school in 4 years (I start Jan 12.).-Rob Quote Selected

5.0 Badges are back Reply #13 – December 28, 2009, 03:59:37 PM QuoteVideo 7K always makes me cringe and smile every time. It's creepy and shagy all in one, like a really hot goth chick. I dream of a KB 2011 mustang GT.Quote6 forward gears automatic and manual. I MAY have 2 Mustangs by this time next year.....Must be nice! I hope the new engine is a success. Part of me expects that once they come out there will be some sort of fail hidden in the new car. I'm actually kind of curious how they handle variable valve timing on a V8 DOHC engine. Havn't looked into it.QuoteDon't you already own a GT? lol Yup well, I should have been more clear and said, finally a factory mustang gt that i would actually like to own. The rest of them suck stock, though the 2005-2010 stang is very nice, It wouldn't tempt me away from my car. The '11 has that potential, though i like having something a little more personalized. Stock 96-98 GTs are a joke and 99-04 GTs are....snore-ville. Nothing prior to that interests me either. Quote Selected
