Wow 305hp in Mustang V6 and
412hp in Mustang GT.
I think I know what I am gonna buy as my Lincoln Replacement.
BTW; What you guys think this think will run in a 1/4 mile based on 3500lbs+412hp and 6 speed trans auto or manual.
I think it should be a solid 12 sec car at around 110-114 mph in a 1/4 mile?
 
No a 13 sec car for the v8.

Whatever it is, it's still a Mustang. :p
 
You sure? The Terminator Cobras were 160 lbs heavier and 22 hp less, on paper. Maybe the powerband is thicker, but still, those were 12.9sec cars out of the box. :)

We will have to wait and see a totally stock one run the 1/4 Mr bench racer, lol :D

supercharged... and a bit under-rated. Low low 13s for the GT ... maybe some high 12s on a few "ringer" cars.

Man this thing is "tuned" from the factory, with tubular headers... composite intake manifold. Ford made it look pretty also!

Car is rated at 17/25 mpg which isn't too bad.

And it will have an option of 19" rims and 14" brakes drooool!

Sadly still a live rear axle :(
 
Likely to maintain a more 'muscle car' demeanor.

Some people like my dad say the REAL muscle cars disappeared with the carburators...

And no power steering, brakes, windows, seats, AC, and 4 wheel drum brakes. :D
 
Loved the article up until this point...

Fudge it has a chinese transmission
:( WHYY The ****
The new MT82 manual is designed by Fords JFT joint venture with
Getrag in Germany and built in a four-way joint venture plant in China.
It features synchromesh on all gears, including Reverse, even in the
six-cylinder version.

and this part...

The 6R80 is new to Mustangs but has been running in Expeditions and
Navigators. Upgraded for 2011, it is a filled-for-life box with enhanced
power capability.

Do manual trans not have syncros on all gears?

what does "filled for life" mean?
