2011 Mustang Gets New 6.2-Liter Motor
2011 Mustang Gets New 6.2-Liter Motor
According to C&D, the current 300HP 4.6 will power the restyled 2010
Mustang. The 2010 restyling job will change the current "'65-'67
look" to a more "modern" '69-'70 body style. In fact, it -- the 2010
model -- looks SO MUCH like the '69-'70 models it's VERY easy to
already envision Mach 1 and Boss stripes on the car. In a word, the
car is STUNNING! As for the motor, the new 6.2 liter motor makes it's
debut a year later in 2011; it'll be a SOHC with "upwards of 400
HP."
A new Chevy Camaro, a retro Dodge Challenger, and soon a Mustang that
looks like a '69-'70 model... anyone for some Trans Am racing?!

How bout Trans Fat!? These Pony cars are more like horsey cars now.
1969-1970 models got bigger, so it's going to NEED a 6.2. Is that the
Boss motor, by the way?

Re: 2011 Mustang Gets New 6.2-Liter Motor
just wondering what the price of gas will do to big motor development
(apart from sales).
some peeps will buy the biggest they can - no matter what (hell, my '06
regular GT gets 20+ mpg, and I've only put 1100 miles on it in 2 years,
so fuel costs aren't a concern).
but unlike the gas shortages of the early 70s.....I think high fuel
costs are here to stay.....and it becomes a matter of manufacturers
devoting resources to developing powerplants with limited appeal. Jees,
FoMoCo hasn't felt that they can afford to design a new big Lincoln
since '80.......why devlop motors for an even smaller audience?
damn......I'm not looking forward to hearing my kid ( the one with the
klapped-out Honda tuner) tell me he was right!!!!

You are the exception to the rule. Most people buy Mustangs to drive
them regularly.

As long as Ford sells trucks that need V-8s then the Mustang will
potentially have a V-8 under the hood. Trucks are what is driving V-8
development, in general. I think the Mustang is going to a V-6 with
forced induction one day. Heck, I wouldn't be surprised to see a hybrid
Mustang within five years. All this isn't necessarily a bad thing. All
I want is for it to have some hp and torque and a blown V-6 will
definitely get the job done. Remember the Buick Grand National?
> damn......I'm not looking forward to hearing my kid ( the one with the

I hope I live long enough to drive a full electric sports car. The
performance potential from all aspects is huge. The center of gravity
could be a few inches off the ground and the torque would be amazing.
Then just think what the electronic wheel control would be like.

According to Motor Trend, the 2010 is goig to be an Echo-Boost turbo
charged V6. No more V8's because of the stricter CAFE requirements.
THe echo boost will produce more HP than the 4.6 and get about 2-3 mpg

No more V8's would kill the Mustang... My 2005 V6 was 310RWHP and ran
12.8 @ 107... and as much as I loved the car, i still missed the sound
and feel of a V8... Next car will be a V8...
BTW... has the EcoBoost for the 2010 Mustang really been confirmed?
2010 will also most likely see the return of the 5.0... or maybe
2011... but I seriously doubt Ford will drop the V8..

Kiss your v 8 good bye if Hillary or Barrach gets elected along with a
few more chicken excrement senators who bow to the Sierra Club. CAFE
standards will make it impossible (read, "financially not viable) to
put the v 8 in.
Write Senator Carl Levin and tell him you don't give a damn what he
thinks YOU *ought* to drive. You still want the choice left up to
you.
