2011 Mustang V6

I would love to find a dealer that would order me a Base 2011 V-6 Mustang with the GT suspension, Brembo brakes, and the 3.73 gears.
I could care less about all the gadgets and the latest 3kw stereo, or whatever they are up to lately....lol

I would love to autocross a V-6 stang with those options.

And if I could get it for say $ 26K, that would be great. :D

Things have changed a lot in the automobile world in a short time.  With the way the government is pushing better emissions, etc., you can expect all cars to take a price hike.  A increase in price on the Mustang doesn't make much difference if all of the competition takes a price increase too.


you know I think you're on the right track, but I think CAFE is the big driver or the new Mustang engines.

The $30k is a bit steep to start for a GT, but the base is going to be such a kickin' ride, I think the base will just cannibalize a bunch of GT volume

Absolutely. I want a base '11 so bad I can't stand myself. Everything about this new generation is great. I loooooove the sequenced led tails, and the guages inside are great too. But, like was said before, happiness with the car is no substitute for those of us who just cannot afford it...

Then again, ive never been able to afford a "new" car...:D 'least not on 25k/yr (unless I bought a kia:yuck:)

The June issue of Car And Driver has a comparison of the V6 and V8 Mustangs and Camaros.  They liked the Mustangs better in both cases.

How long before the fire sale on the used, less HP, pre 2011, GT's? :D

I've heard orders for the 2011's have been quite strong.

II really hope the 05-09 cars do not become the next mid '90's Corvette.

 
No that's good because they are *relatively* quick zippy cars nonetheless. Far from the slowest thing on the road. Find a flogged one and have a fast cheap beater! :D

Just found this vid.  The Mustang beats the v6 Camaro, v6 Challenger (DESTROYS it actually), and a v6 Hyundai Genesis.

Evolution Performance just got their hands on a new 5.0.....

Initially the car's first pass after the car cooled down (second time at the track)- "12.88@111mph with a 2.06 60ft with stock 19" Tires!"



Last update had the car with an exhaust/tune/Bogarts car running "12.04 @ 117mph - 1.70 60ft."


Not bad for a grand in mod's, and I'm sure better times are to be had with better air.

As for power...

Our 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L 4V (5.0 Mustang and Super Fords Magazine Project Car) made 405 RWHP and 375 RWTQ with the addition of an Off-Road X-Pipe, Catback Exhaust System, K&N Drop In Filter, and a Custom Tune! That's a gain of 36 RWHP and 23 RWTQ! That's not bad but we're still working on some other changes in the tune...

Glad I just upgraded the rear in my car and did a gear swap......Now I can just barely beat that......If I drive it good :mad:  BTW -- BOTH those HP & torque #'s are higher than mine with 7 pounds of boost; not by much, but still.....

Where was this engine in 2005?

I agree with you V8Demon...in '07 I thought my GT had a lot of HP in stock form.  Now the V6 will be nipping at my tail.  It could be worse I guess.  How do you think the 2010 owners feel?  lol.

I guess in the big scheme of things, a 300hp 3v is still nothing to dismiss as "slow".

I just drove a '10 V6 tonight. Things has some balls. I was surprised overall by the car. I never knocked them but it exceeded what I thought they would be.
