Second, the 3v 4.6 is a great engine. It puts out 315 hp, which is very good for a small v8. It also takes to mods very well. While Ford had to up the ante to keep up with the 5th gen Camaros, the 2005-10 GTs are no slouches.

I agree, until MSRP is out, it's going to be hard to say the '11 Mustang will be a great buy.

The 4.6 mod motor can be a beast, just like the 5.0 it replaced. The Cobra version in my mother-in-law's Lincoln is strong on top, a little weak on bottom, but that could be gearing. I've been wanting to "hotrod" that Lincoln since she bought her Charger.

It's in the v6 realm where Ford has lagged behind. Until the S H O anyway. (yes, I seperated it, it's not "show" to me, it's individual letters. Which sounds meaner anyway, lol.)
