several hundred pounds?

i sense the ford exagerated numbers side in you........

Chewy · 12-18-2009, 03:24 AM

I agree its still going to be substantially lighter, plus close to same power.

I gotta hand it to Ford - they are bumping up their game in the stang factory! can't wait to see them. anyone know if they are the same body as 2010?

It's definitely going to be close. I'd like to see it's torque, tires, and gearing before I make a final say.

heh, what times are you running in your car to be .1-.2 slower... i think it would be acceptable to say the average times for the mustangs are 13.4-13.6 depending on drivers and such. your a heck of a driver if your bangin around with 13.1-13.2 quarters. with people finally spending time in their camaros some have been reporting sub 13's at the track

on topic, can't wait to see the 2011's in action(more importantly chevy's response

)

But as it seems, the 2011 GT will be the better performer. (Given if it keeps it low weight and gearing. Plus it needs the tires, etc.)

What is this "challenger" you speak of sir?

I agree

Also what will this motor put to the Rear wheels for a Manual and for an Auto ?

What size Rearend are they running ?

Whats the final weight ratio ?

Thats what I want to know.

snizzle · 12-18-2009, 07:44 AM

Impressive Ford.... but we've known this is coming for quite a while. It's official, i'm buying a 2011 something.

ssump29 · 12-18-2009, 08:35 AM

Has anyone seen that edmonds is reporting that the V6 is going to weight 3750 lbs. So if thats true how the hell is the GT going to weight less then that. I'm just saying.

[QUOTE=coolman;1297053]Yea, I guess that's way I just traded my wife's camaro for a new SHO.

So you offer your bad judgement as PROOF that Ford has better engineering?

Not very convincing!
