Re: 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Dynoed
, and I remember riding in some year C1 vert back when I was 6ish. Anyway.... the Mustang wont handle like a Corvette and the Corvette's chassis is far superior and the Viper is 2x the cost. Porsche falls into the 2x the cost category and not enough umph and other than that what else is there? Not much...Simple piston swap is an easy fix for that. The important part is the strength of the other components and the way the head breathes. I wouldn't be shocked if you see a few 500whp n/a builds in the next year. The guys on the Mustang forum I frequent have a way of extracting crazing amount of power from non boosted engines.
Exactly.... the '03-'04 Cobra motor is built for boost.... the Ford GT motor is as well, but cast pistons and 11:1 compression isn't.

Re: 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Dynoed
I love the power curve, making power all the way to 7k.
it seems to me the torque kind of falls off early. Still has an excellent amount of torque, but it just dips right after peak, no hold.

Re: 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Dynoed
The 2011 Mustang GT is getting the 5.0 Treatment!!!. The new 5.0 is just like the old 5.0 -- 302 cubic inches or 4.9-liters or 4,951cc.
Adding the 32-valves and Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing(Ti-VCT), the new 5.0 produces an impressive 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. No word on performance times, but we can expect a 4.5-4.7 second 0-60 sprint and a quarter-mile in the high 12s. At least. Especially as the current Mustang GT (315-hp, 320 lb-ft of torque) hits 60 mph in 4.9 seconds and runs the quarter in 13.5. Oh, according to Ford, the new 5.0 weighs just 10 pounds more than the outgoing GT!
Oh: more importantly, the redline climbs from 6,500 to 7,000 rpm.
Also new for 2011 Mustang is a choice of either a new six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Together with that variable cam technology (Ti-VCT) and "EPAS" (Ford's electronic power steering), a Mustang GTwith an automatic transmission will be able to achieve 25 mpg on the highway. That's up from 23 mpg for the current Mustang GT with an auto 'box. Both the 2010 and 2011 get 17 mpg in the city, while the six-speed manual Mustang gets 24 mpg on the highway and 16 mpg city.

Re: 2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Dynoed
When they said it was built for boost, they meant the design would be able to be boosted from the factory in the future. Which, I'm sure may include forged internal and a possible drop in compression.
I've also read that they think just a tune on the 2011 motor may be able to do unbelievable things with the variable cam timing.
