It's offical the 5.0 is back (ford>gm)

[wheeliE-maxx]

Yeah, I hate it. And the whole bloated ass huge thick car with a short roof thing. The vert looks way better with the roof down. DOn't particularly like it either. I don't like the driving position or interior of 4th gens either. My dad doesn't understand why I hate driving the Formula. No height adjustment and I have a really short torso for 6'. Also, the previous owner wore out the bottom and bolsters with his fat ass. Power adjustables coming soon...

The new 5.0 redlines at 7000 rpm.

I can't wait to hear one. Love my LS1 but I confess that the Ford V8s sound better.

Couple that with a manual trans and it will be as good as sex.

get a new 6 speed

[wheeliE-maxx]

That makes sense. Still very badass

[F-my-body]

so a 2011 V6 mustang will almost be able to beat a 2010 GT? since theres only a 10HP difference...aaannd will a 02 Z28 be able to beat a 2010 GT with ease?

[wheeliE-maxx]

The 4.6 still has a good bit more torque than a v6 which is important in a heavy ass car, so no. And your car should bitch slap a '10 gt with ease bone stock

[CJREX]

Not so sure about bitch slapping a 2010 with ease.

Motor Trend got one to a 13.5 @ 105 in the 1/4, and they are not the quickest drivers.

A 2010 GT would probably be very close to a drivers race with a stock LS1.

[wheeliE-maxx]

Bitch slapping doesn't have an exact definition but.. Anyways 315 horsepower and 325 lb/ft in a heavier car doesn't even sound close in real life

[JHayesLS1]

I hope I can find me a 2011 GT when they come out thats not 20G over sticker.

[wheeliE-maxx]

i'm sure they will play the shit out of the 5.0 moniker... Or Boss 302, some shit like that

Yes, but remember that Motor Trend only got a 13.5 when they tested a WS6 T/A, exact same as the 2010 GT.

It took the GT 10 years to reach parity, but give credit where it is due.

It closely matches stock LS1 performance with a liter smaller engine.

And you can bet that "The Return Of The 5.0" will be heralded in the commercials. Too much nostalgia in that 5.0 badge.

I think 346 cubes is closer to a 5.6 really (may be wrong) so it has six tenths of a liter on the five oh. And It's all apples to oranges. dohc, 4 valves etc. And Ford chose that displacement. Gm chose a larger displacement, who's problem is that. No Ford bashing here though, GT>5th gen by miles.

[CJREX]

We were comparing the 2010 GT which is still 4.6 liters.

The new 5.0 is in a different league.

[wheeliE-maxx]

Oh well, still Ford's problem (or maybe not, Mustangs actually sell) for making the small motor

if the 5.0 is the same block as the 6.2 , which I think it is .. it can be bored and stroked to 427CU.. .so look out ..

[wheeliE-maxx]

I don't have a stake in any of that, but.. How long have sbc's and lsx's been in the 400+ cube range?
