2015 Coyote 5.0...

Well guys, what do you think? I've been doing quite a bit of research these past couple days on the improved drivetrain for the 2015 stang... what it pretty much turns out to be, is the boss 302 motor in a nutshell with a few improvements IMO

I think If you take a 2014 Mustang GT, add 25-35 HP + more RPM, subtract 200 pounds you will have a car that runs 11 second quarter miles stock.

And you can be sure the new Mustang IRS and chassis will even or better Camaro handling. It's a good time to be a car nut.

yea no doubt about that! I like mustangs just as much as camaro's... I'm still very happy I stuck with the 2013 1LE. I know chevy will fire back with an amazing 6th gen it's just a matter of time!

Its a matter of time until the cafe regulations and political bs make pony/muscle cars a thing of the past. Enjoy it my fellow 1le brethren. Won't be around for ever.

They will be around just a tad bit more expensive.

I'm very excited for the hi-po version of the new Mustang. With an IRS, the Mustang can finally become a world class "sports" car. If it's really good, I may just trade my 1LE for one.

I posted this info on another thread here... but here again are some of the details and the differences.
The the new Coyote took some of the Boss 302 Roadrunner engine's magic.

Below are some of the Boss-specific parts contributing to the 2012-2013 Boss 302 V8’s output and durability:
* Revised composite intake system with shorter runners, inspired by Daytona Prototype racing engines, for high-rpm breathing
* Forged aluminum pistons and upgraded sinter-forged connecting rods for improved strength, needed for the higher combustion pressures and engine speeds
* New high-strength aluminum-alloy cylinder heads with fully CNC-machined ports and chambers for exceptional high-rpm airflow without sacrificing low-speed torque
* Lightened valvetrain components to provide excellent dynamic performance up to speeds well above the engine redline
* Sodium-filled exhaust valves for improved heat dissipation
* Race-specification crankshaft main and rod bearings for higher load capability and improved high-speed durability
* 5W50 full-synthetic oil with engine oil cooler for improved oil pressure and longer-lasting lubrication during extreme racing conditions
* Revised oil pan baffling for improved oil control under racing conditions and during cornering loads greater than 1.0 g

The 2015 Mustang 5.0 Coyote engine's details are:
-New cams with 1mm more intake lift and 2mm more lift on the exhaust side
-New cylinder heads with revised high-flow ports and slightly larger valves
-Mid-lock cam phasers to provide greater range of cam timing on the intake side
-A revised intake manifold with charge-motion control valves.
-The forged connecting rods from the current Boss 302 engine
-The forged balanced crank from the current Boss 302 engine
-Revised piston tops
-The valve springs from the current Boss 302 engine
-Standard oil cooler

I love the Boss, and really struggled with the decision between it and the 1LE, have you read the Boss forums? They love the car, but all have serious issues with the clutch/gearbox/car going into limp mode at the track etc... They still retain there resale value though and if I were to never track it, I would have gone that way, the Camaro is a cheaper platform to start with now and i bet the gearbox is still an issue when pushed hard since they are using the same unit. Having IRS will help it on the road racing tracks.

The new 5.0 looks like 450+ hp to me. Looking forward to seeing the Mustang weigh in.

I believe thats about right, with the new 2015 tweaks.

In other note... I came across this earlier tonight, and found it pretty interesting. The 2015 test mule appeared to be a 2013/2014 body on top of the completely re-designed drivetrain and chassis.

According to Edmunds the new mustang will not be lighter at all, in fact they say it will be heavier than the current.

http://www.edmunds.com/car-reviews/f...irst-look.html

"Weight reduction measures have been minimal. Aluminum fenders replace the current car's steel, but otherwise the 2015 Mustang employs a steel-intensive unibody construction. Ford's lips are sealed regarding curb weight other than to point out that the new car has a lot more feature content than the old car, which is code for "It's heavier." Our guess is that the new car will gain about 100 pounds, which would place the GT model in the low 3,700-pound range."
