No...they got that directly from 5.0 Brian on TMS. Its the exact way he posted it, of course without his comments. He put up some new info about A Glass roof option for the GT500 and axle gearing sizes...laying 100 to 1 odds it will be on that site soon...

[Ninjak]

All info should be out soon, but the info on that site came from a dealer that is looking at the order banks on TMS. The 2011 stang should be a great car. Will be a great year for ford and mustang enthusiast

Automatics are cost options for most brands...I'm not following here.

Automatic's are cost options because they are usually better, or more sophisticated. For instance, the L99 comes with a Tap-shift 6 speed, as well as Active Fuel Management (cylinder deactivation). Generally, standard 6 speed auto's aren't considered 'upgrades'.

[Stew]

WHile I don't know about cylinder deativation, consideing the SHO and Licolns are getting shift paddles, there is like no chance the Stang wouldn't.

[Ninjak]

Yes. I have to agree with Stew..No news on what type it will be.

seen more people that have Higher out (500+hp) put cars and no driving skill. or they were still learning the car. bench racing is so much fun.

But why did we get into a GT500 vs camaro 1/4 crap? seriously, this thread has been about the GT and price/performance vs camaro SS price/performance. and the point I was making was that the GT that competes well with the camaro right now is the same (a little more actually) price as a base 2SS. but people still believe that it's a 40k camaro. which is completely false.

I personally can't wait to see this 400 hp GT and what numbers it's putting down. becaust with the track pack the GT with current hp rating is so close, how will the 400 hp with brembo mustang do? better stopping for sure, better 1/4 mile for sure. but turning, not so sure.

Either way I can't wait to see what GM does to compete against it. it's a very exciting time.

[Georgie]

can't wait. i want camaro and mustang to broom all foreign competition for less

[RealQuickCamaro]

I guess we will see come DEC 4th,. LA Show, good to see Ford upgrading their engines. Time to slow down the camaro sales from the mustang LOL,
I say V8: 400 hp/380 LB / ft
V6: 315 hp/275 lb./ft. with 3.31 Limited Slip axle for 28 MPG


Along with 6 speed transmissions for each engine,
lets see if i am any where close

Even if those are the mustang stats for the 2011 model year..... early next year will also be a great time to get a VERY cheap 2010 mustang....... ahhh the choices the choices

[Black5thgen]

It's ugly, who cares. I'm sure the LS3 will still be faster, like in the late 80's when the mustang was lighter and had almost as much horsepower but still was slower.
