I'm about ready to bite the bullit

[*JZ*]

I'm going to go and get my 2010 Mustang GT.

I just heard today that the 5.0 motor may not end up in the 2011 like the rumor has it. If that be the case, I don't want to wait. I'm going to call up and speak with our Ford Racing rep on Monday and see if he can give me any insight. But it's looking like I may have myself a brand new Kona Blue 2010 Mustang GT within a week otherwise.

damn.... i would really try and wait for the 5.0L S197.... but if you have some insider info that suggests otherwise... i guess go for it.... that new kona blue really is something else, eh! really nice color indeed.

 

[trill gear head]

I thought ford already stated that it was putting the 5.0 in the 2011 gt?

 

[*JZ*]

No. it's not 100%. it's still speculation.

Chris asked Jesse from Ford Racing about it the other day and it's not 100% b/c Ford is not changing the motor in the GT500 and they stated that it's too close in performance and power between the 2 motors. They want to keep the GT500 the high end car and the GT just that. The 2nd string. LOL

even if they do put the 5.0 in the 11's they are not looking like they will be that great like they did at first ... all it is is a tweaked/stroked 4.6 with 11 to 1 compression still using powder rods ..... only main difference I have heard of is the vct is getting changed , it basically looks like a baby ls motor from the " spy pics "

 

[*JZ*]

3V all the way

 

[Freaknazty]

I like the look of the kona's but tell you the truth if I were to buy a 10+ it would be the grabber blue

Just wait until December to make your decision, which is when the 2011 Mustang powertrain updates will be revealed(at the LA Auto Show). The 2011 Mustang production is supposed to start next March.

 

[Vapour Trails]

I'd wait....

 

[470 GT/CS]

I'd wait....

+1, I would hate to see him buy a 2010 GT and find that the 400 HP 5.0 4V will in fact be in the 2011 GT.

I knew Ford wouldn't do it. It was good to dream for a little while.

John why not get a 09- for a good deal right now. i mean if u really love to get the current design i would understand. but as you work on a performance shop i bet that you would modify the car a lot i believe this would be the best way for you. you can get a great deal on a used one with or without mods and you already know what to do to it.

 

[lostsoul]

there is one here in lodi for sale 41K (ghay blue) with sync and ugly rear. really, I would wait till something engine wise is different. Also no yellow for '10 (f dat)

 

[NotQuik]

you sound unsure as well, i'd wait so you have no regrets incase they do release it.

Did you sell your truck already?

 

[Bizzyb0nes]

that car is gonna be almost $40k sticker...no interest in a used gt500? I thought the new 5.0L was supposed to be a 4v?

The new 5.0L is a 4V.

The 5.0L 4V motor in the 2011 Mustang GT is speculation right now.


It's still not confirmed.

"The other Juicy Rumor floating around..." ^^


lol, don't worry, I have selective reading habits at times too.. \


So John, wait for the 2011, It's gonna have the Wile. E. Coyote engine with Acme Forged Internals and Warner Brothers Gauges!!



I dunno man, just get an S197. But not Yellow. A White w/ black rag top would be pretty bad ass though....
