OMG,.......THANK YOU. So basically, stock vs stock, the 2010 mustang cannot beat an SS. The truth!

How is it fair to compare the bare camaro SS to the GT premium package when it comes to price.

No EcoBoost for the 2011 Mustang... The V6 will be the 3.7 Duratec which is currently rated at 273 HP.. rumor has it it will go to DI and bump up to the 315 HP range...

EcoBoost refers to the twin turbo 3.5 DI motor...

EB Mustang has been delayed, partly because the Mustang is getting three new engines for MY2011. The EB Mustang will therefore be delayed, so it can make a big splash when it debuts, and not get drowned out in the hooplah over the 5 liter.

It will be a FUN car when debuted. As of now, it will likely carry the Shelby GT350 name, and be paired with a 6-speed manual and/or DCT, an IRS, and a quite lusty 425hp motor. Performance is astonishing, from what I've heard, due to the near perfect weight balance and mesa-flat torque curve.

A MY or two later, it'll be available outside the $$$ Shelby package.

It's not that it can't; it's that it probably shouldn't most of the time.

perhaps because the 2SS is the premium SS package?

you're not comparing apples to apples if you go with one car's premium package and another car's base package for that trim.

*DGthe3* · 11-01-2009, 06:21 PM

Are you saying that the 2SS is a base package? Or that the Mustang GT Premium is a base package?

oh haha i thought he was comparing the 1ss to the premium. oops, my bad.

I saw the 33k price tag and also saw auto next to it, and I immediately thought was a 1SS with auto.

meanmike · 11-01-2009, 06:40 PM

I think the prices will be even closer when the Mustang get's the new 5.0 and the new 6 speed tranny.

*DGthe3* · 11-01-2009, 06:45 PM

I was wondering what was going on ... you should know by now that auto is only an extra grand but 2SS is 3k more.

shroomjohn · 11-01-2009, 07:40 PM

I still wanna see this article where the GT pulled the SS by 2 tenths never heard that. But to each his own both are great American cars but I prefer the maro!

The Ecoboost mustang will be badged as a Shelby GT350? Why don't the just badge it as a regular Ford Mustang GT? Or will this be a higher trim level/optional motor than the current GT?
