2010 Mustang Official Thread

I'll believe a 400 hp 5.0L from Ford as the standard GT engine when I drive it.

Ford is notoriously slow in the power output game. My bet is in the 325-350 hp range.

I've been reading 325-350hp for the GT for a while now.  The 400hp seems to be reserved for a Mach 1 or Boss version.

from Stangnet...

The word out on the street regarding the next Ford Mustang engine lineup is that the 5.0 liter is set to return very soon.  Dubbed the "Coyote", this speculated engine is a TiVCT 32v motor, producing 400 hp / 375 tq, is an aluminum block, has a 11:1 compression ratio, and the top end is capped at 7,000 RPM.  Some sources say that this new powerplant will replace the current 3v 4.6 liter found in the 2005 - 2009 Mustang.  Rumblings also indicate that this motor will be crafted at Ford?s Essex Engine Plant in Windsor, Ontario.  The only jagged edge on this dreamy cloud is the strong compression ratio: many Mustang fans of contemporary times love to run boost on their stock components.  If the Coyote comes to fruition, we could expect to see more bottles of giggle gas at the track and less whining...from the Mustang at least.

'stangs are supposed to make max hp at 4,200 rpm. They're turning it into a race car with all this 7,000 rpm 11:1 bullshit. Cool.

I don't like the smaller headlights. It looks like it got squished.

I always thought the one mistake Ford made on the new Mustang was how big the headlights are, so I like the smaller ones.

I'll probably have to see the new one in person or at least a picture of the two side by side but with all the camouflage it doesn't look too good.
