Default 2011 GT 5.0 is a BEAST

Everyone already knows the 5.0 is back. Ford rates it at 412Hp at the crank, but the big news is that Edmunds just got finished getting some numbers from the dynojet and it produced 395 SAE corrected HP, to the wheels!

link: Inside Line Dyno-Tests the 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0

for $29,500 you get the 412-HP 5.0, 6spd, 3.31 LSD, 18" wheels. not too shabby.

Mustangs & Fast Fords just took one to the 1/4 mile and ran a 12.7 on stock all seasons and a 12.3 on 10" M/T's, lifting a wheel while it was at it.

Ford truly brought this beast back for some serious action, i can't wait to see someone make a pass with a 4.11, big Kenne Bell, and 12" M/T's. I'm a hardcore import fan and i can honestly say I'd take one of these over the relatively priced Ralli-Art, WRX or 370Z. The Camaro even doesn't stand a chance.









AMERICA... FUCK YEAH!!!

I have never been a fan of mustangs period but the new 5.0 is really impressive. Ford has really got their ducks in a row for this one.

More and more I hate Ford's less... It's really their 80s-early 00s market that sucked and now they are turning around for the better!

This new mustang is really impressive, I like that its a 5.0 because I grew up loving the 5.0 third gens. Definately beats the hell out of the camaro.

The 5.0 is great
First review
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydyki...eature=channel

vs other v8 rivals
YouTube - V-8 Pony Car Drag Race! 2011 Mustang GT vs 2010 Camaro SS vs 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8

The v6 is equally impressive, 13.7 is damn good for a stock v6, It has the same handling characteristics as the gt and stops even shorter

5.4 S/C 550-HP. i think it costs $60,000, for that I'd have to dip out in a Z06 or GTR.
