2011 Mustang ... WOW!

[69stang 11]

Some Key figures taken from the article:

 

 

0-60 - 4.3 seconds

1/4 Mile -12.8

 

Dyno Test!

 

2011 Mustang 5.0 (4th gear pull, 15% powertrain loss)

Claimed horsepower: 412 hp @ 6500 rpm

Claimed torque: 390 lb-ft @ 4250 rpm

Actual horsepower: 435 hp 6500 rpm

Actual torque: 404 lb-ft @ 4400 rpm

 

Both its lateral acceleration (0.94 g) and figure-eight time (25.3 seconds at 0.75 g) are superior to those of the our best SS (0.90, 25.8 at 0.80) and SRT-8 (0.87, 26.74 at 0.679).

The best car to buy in the stangs price range in my opinion. Just one suggestion Ford, drop the price down to around 25,000 for the GT and youll sell alot more cars.

Sweet, glad they got the bragging rights back from the Bowtie and Mopar bankrupt brothers. The grabber blue's a nice touch too. Would look good with some argent stripes like a Boss 351

I think it's great that they stepped it up and are fighting back in the HP wars, it's like the 60's all over again but sadly I'm still not attracted to the redesign. I just don't think a lot of the exterior changes were a step in the right direction, particularly the ass. Ironicly though I think the new 2011 Shelby GT350 is the sexiest looking Stang to come around in a long long time. I don't know how they did it but they actually fixed the ass big time, I hope they release that body kit as an aftermarket piece, if they do I may just be driving a new stang daily once again even if it is the six which doesn't look like a slouch in the power department either.

Amen Pakrat. I am with you in the back end department. Looks fast when it's parked. Any word on how many 350's are going into production? I should be able to afford one when I'm ...... 85 years old:wheelchair:...give or take a decade. Of course, I will have to sell my house, the coupe, the tools, the dog, the kids, and my soul to the devil to get behind the wheel of one of those wicked toys.

Amen Pak! I think the Taurus looking tail lights were a mistake since I saw them in 2010.

[Pakrat 1,043]

I don't think they plan to make many but even if they did it would have to be my only toy to get one and I'm not giving up classic top down iron for anything. I do hope that body kit catches on though, it just has to. I even love the little tiny understated scoop at the rocker panel which as I understand is functional for the rear brakes.

I like the GT/CS too!

That shelby gt 350 package is supposed to be worth about $35k, and thats not including the price of the GT. So youre looking at about $60k for one.
