The 2011 Mustang will provide us some real competition. Their puny 300 hp for the GT is like a knife in a gunfight, but the new 5.0 evens things out. Even the V6 got new life (actually a whole new V6) and has more hp than the V6 Camaro. With the weight advantage, stock SS cars (like mine !!) will have to sweat a little at stoplights next year.........

The 5.0 will be the perfect crate motor for a Cobra replica. They've engineered it for direct injection and forced induction too. People routinely crank >1,000 hp from heavy boost on their existing cammer crate motor. This one will really rock.
