C&D claims that the Corsa R-compound car was lapping the 1.88 mile track just as quickly as the current BMW M3 they brought along. But how could a 315 hp car keep up on a track with a 414 hp car? Weight? Maybe, because the Mustang weighs about 200 pounds less than the M3. Don't say torque, because the Mustang only beats the M3 by 25 lb-ft there. Tires? Well maybe, but the Michelin Pilot Sport 2s on the Bimmer are pretty sticky in their own right. Despite all that, 414 horses should have cleaned up.

Well, what if the 2011 Mustang Mule with the fancy tires had a 5.0-liter, 32-valve DOHC Coyote engine kicking out 400+ hp and 400+ torques. The world's worst kept secret engine could also explain the similar lap times.

Maybe it was a shelby, if not than a 2010 GT that was being tested with mods. There would be no reason for FORD to bring out their 2011 like that, they are a little most descrete. But, either way most likely rumors are that FORD is thinking of taking in the concept of direct injection in their engines. They have to compete someway we are killin' em'. haha...

Bringing back a 5.0 liter engine that rings back to the 04 Mustangs and below is what the Mustang crowd has been asking for. If they can keep the price the same, then we'll have a nice showdown next year..

400HP in a 3500 lb. platform means that the 5.0 will be trouble.

Not a lot of it though. It's basically the 4.6 bored out to 5.0 with a DOHC setup and some other unconfirmed changes. It'll weigh 50 lbs. more than the powerplant in the current stang at the very most.
