Nice to hear that you won't be street racing with it. I take it your Camaro is stock?

Note that when Ford had no real competition, the Mustang just kind of plugged along with the 3.8 and the 4.6. Challengers were never really considered as competition because of the price. It's on now, and the customers will be the ultimate winners. Ed Beagly is left hanging his head in shame of all of us neandrathals.

Just practice on your driving and I think you will get him. If he doesn't have gears you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Well maybe you shouldn't take the internet so seriously. If that little comment hurts your ego that bad then you have a problem. There have been far worse comments said in this thread and I guess you missed those pages.

there's nothing but speculation on that engine. However, the car will be gaining 40-140 lbs (based on info about the V6). The claims are 400 hp and 400 ft-lbs, out of a 5.0L. The horsepower will be relatively easy. But from what I gather, getting that torque will be a tall order. Most DI engines I've came across generate about 76 ft-lbs/L, strangely this is nearly universal. It also puts the torque at 380 ft-lbs, which compares favourably with other 5.0L engines out there. This Coyote V8 will need 80/L to hit the 400 mark, for a naturally aspirated production car this is extremely rare (bordering on practically never). That includes exotics that squeeze nearly everything they can out of their engines.

So look for the 2011 Mustang GT to have a 400 hp /380 ft-lb 5.0L engine, getting probably 17/26 for fuel economy. The car will probably weigh about 3600 lbs. A drag race will come down to the smaller details like traction, gearing, and not least of all ... driver skill.

Even if the Mustang GT with the Coyote engine does perform on par with the Camaro SS we still have three things going for us: 1) 6.2L (no replacement for displacement) engine that is very likely to respond to mods better, 2) Our cars are better looking and, 3) It's not a women's car j/k.

1) mine's is bigger than yours syndrome LOL
2) you don't know that yet since the engine doesn't exist unless your psychic and holding out
3) untill they come from the factory with no choice other than pink, i beg to differ sir

He wasn't calling you a troll, he was saying to expect to be flamed because it sounded trollish


these arguments are useless
