| 2011 Ford Mustang GT to get 400-hp 5.0 "Coyote"
guess i'm waiting another year (yeah i wish): Quote: | We’re still expecting a new, all-aluminum 32-valve 5.0-liter V-8 making about 400 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque—dubbed “Coyote”—to become the GT’s powerplant, bringing output in line with the 426-hp Chevy Camaro SS and 376-hp Dodge Challenger R/T. (We expect that this time around the “5.0” will actually displace 5.0 liters as opposed to the previous engine’s 4.9 liters). | http://blog.caranddriver.com/2011-fo...-hp-5-0-liter/ |

Damn considering how close the current GTs run with the camaro SS, this 400hp one is gonna be amazing, now as long as they keep the price reasonable Not like it could be too unreasonable though, i'm guessing 40k? maybe 45k at the most? since thats about how much an SS goes for. Any more and people would opt for the 500,
Now we can see why the mustang was the only one to survive all these years  IF I HAD THE MONEY!!!

Meh the challenger = fail, who gives a fuck? Not like the SRT8 could hold it's own against either of the two, save dodge the embarassment maybe?

some stuff on the ecoboost twin turbo v6: http://autospeed.com/cms/title_Fords...2/article.html

damn a 32V engine for the Mustang....making a healthy 80HP/L
how time has changed. Many Hondas struggle to get that HP/L.

400hp means nothing right now.
just like digital cameras nowaday have 10+ mega pixel.
I prefer something with less power and great driving experience

I would still like to see an EcoBoost Mustang because anyone who owns or has owned a turbocharged car knows that the factory numbers are just the tip of the iceberg... look at the Supra TT... factory 320hp... everyone knows 400hp is a couple bolt-ons and 600hp is perfectly reasonable with a single. MR2 Turbo same thing, 200 to 250 just changing boost levels a tweak.

It will take its place at the top where it used to be. It will be a SC V8 making hp in the 500's to compete with the shelby and challenger's top models.

^sounds good, how about a new KR, although buying a KR seems pretty stupid to me, paying a 30k+ premium over the gt500 for...
I wonder if there'll be a more hardcore version of the challenger SRT8 cause that's not that great right now is it?

yeah it's unfortunate that the GT is still stuck with the 5spd instead of the 6spd from the GT500 (isn't the camaro a 6spd?). as a result the fuel econ numbers are 8.5 L/100 km on the highway and 11.5 L/100 km in the city (claimed)... at least it can run on regular unleaded.

if/when the mustang comes with a coyote engine, it'll likely have a 6-spd. Ford has a mandate that all of their cars and trucks will run 6-spds within the next few years.

Didnt hear that it was dead, but I did hear GM adding shifts as theyve presold twice they produced.(camaros)
Its too bad they have the Tremec trans in them. I much prefer the Borg Warner unit.

Test drove a new GT today, really would have my money without hesitation if it had a 6 speed, the 400hp is not a big deal, but I would really appreciate the extra gear, 5 speed wasn't bad though, and the car is as close to perfection that a 35k car can get.
