2011 "Coyote" 5.0 - Autoweek
2011 Ford Mustang: Five-Point-Oh is now 412 hp
Supposedly this new engine will only weigh a smidge more than a LS1 and has the following: Aluminum block, iron cylinders, DOHC 4valves/cyl, variable valve timing on both intake/exhaust. It makes 412hp and 390lbft of tq. Oh and the rev limit has been raised
.
Glad I didn't cave in and get a GT500 now, because the way things are shaping the new GT is going to be a performance bargain.
For all the people on the import side of the pond; this new engine makes 83hp per liter (which is better than what nissan can make from the same 5.0L of displacement out of their VK50VE which is only available in a $50k+ luxury car as well as better than what BMW made with the old M5 v
. The domestic inefficiency argument as well as "lack of technology" is now a thing of the past, anyway read the article for more info.

It supposedly will start around 28k and optioned out will be like 35ish (like the current GT) . There isn't supposed to be a price hike (if there is one it will be negligible/minimal). I will definitely be trading in my Z, selling my other car and grabbing one of these - so long as the ford dealer doesn't try and tack on some kind of a markup "market adjustment".

Fully option that bitch, toss FRPP's new s/c and front mount on, tune it and run 10s on factory components. But just imagine how badass a foxbody would be if you dumped 40k into it....
