it's going to be hard not to give in to buying one of those....

 

[shatter]

The V-6 engine makes more horsepower and almost as much torque as the 4.6L V-8... yikes! I wonder what insurance will be like on the 2011 V-6 vs the 2010 GT.

Anyone know what kind of price tag will be on one of these?

*Direct from the 5th paragraph:

"It was such a priority that cylinder heads from the Shelby GT500 that might have been used were rejected because they didn’t flow well enough."

so not enough? I'd like to see the flow #'s on this new ones then !

"Standing ¼-mile: 12.8–13.6 sec "

We all know it will do better than that...

Maybe not from the factory..

Any way that is a pretty large estimate.

Not to mention I trust any member on this board way more than C & D so I'll wait for them to post some slips up with the 5.0

 

[gmantheman]

I think the 13.6 was for the V6

[GlassVapor]

Lol, so was 300 / 320.

i dont think tuning will be worth nearly as much as a 3v due to the premium octane tune from the factory and 11.0:1 compression.

Yeah because the vct is tuned for power from the factory and doesn't account for mileage or emissions.

Lets not cry until we are hurt, I know I will do what it takes not to look at the Celica-ish ass end. Its like the fat girl at Walmart you'll only look once,
throw up in your mouth and move on.
