No... you don't. You think you do. Nothing has been officially released. So you don't know.


Who said it wasn't going to add weight? 3600lb is a gain in weight for the GT. Most GT's weigh in at 100lb less than that.

really. my buddy has a GT, stock it weighed in at 3596lbs, basically 3600. since then, it has only gone up. Take note of EVERY high performance mustang that has ever been made. it adds significant amounts of weight. GT500, 3900lbs, Rousche 4200lbs...


Weren't you just railing about speculation? I fail to see why you are taking this so personally. The truth is that Mustang has been an extremely profitable car for Ford and they have admitted as much on several occasions. Nothing coming for 2011 indicates a drastic change in the cost equation for this car, so I have no idea upon what you are basing your argument that the car will increase significantly in price. In fact, don't be surprised if the car drops a bit in price.

yes i was just talking about speculation, and thats what i just did. Speculated. i didn't say ' i KNOW the car will cost $X .

im not arguing that Ford doesnt profit off the mustang... im arguing they are going under despite the mustang and need to increase profits. the Car dropping in price is a good sign the company is having a 'going out of business sale'

For the 2010MY I don't expect any performance increase at all, but then 4.0L info for the 2010MY is basically non-existent so I could be missing something here. As for 2011, while V6 engine output is still somewhat fuzzy we do know that the V6 engines output will be somewhere above 265hp. But then that info is easy to come by. The most basic 3.5L version of the Duratec pumps that much out already, and the version the Mustang will receive will have undergone something of an upgrade.

i would be surprised if the V6 has the same output. They are going to have a hard time moving units.
