I'm interested in how this new engine is going to sound. I saw that they put a different firing order in it, it has the old Flat head v8 firing order. And the cylinder heads are supposed to be better than even the Ford GT heads!

I read that about cylinders heads being better the GTs..
ford lost my business though when they advertise 2010 Mustang GT has ford racing supercharger available and doesnt void warrenty. I tried to do all that and no dealer would install the ford racing supercharger. They didnt want to warrenty it. I called ford racing and they said they cant force them to do it. I was so pissed. I wanted the suspension and supercharger. I didnt want a slow Mustang GT that a 4cylinder could beat.
So I got pissed at ford.

i know a few people who got a Ford Racing supercharger put on their mustangs and kept their warranty intact.

Sounds like you should be pissed at your local dealers. But if you thought a Mustang GT was "slow" and were scared of being beat by a "4cylinder", that camaro you bought isn't THAT much farther ahead.

yea looked at that.. at $48K I was at my limit for what I could afford and was awaiting a med board out the army..

that when someone told me about Camaro SS went looked at it.. loved it from the movie.. My girlfriend loved it..
Just the numbers did quarter in 13.0 flat and seen some under that trappin 112mph so thought wasnt bad starting point..

It's a known fact that Mustangs can get beat by 4 cylinders, but a Camaro cannot get beat by a 4 cylinder. It is a known fact.

GT at the time trapped 103 to 104mph. my 4cylinder stock trapped the same..
exhaust and fmic cost $1200 got me to 108mph

I don't know how accurate this is, but according to inside line the 2011 5.0 has put on weight and will no linger have the weight advantage it currently enjoys over the SS.

yea just I can wait to save up for supercharger..
only spent $31,500 on camaro SS
going to get Edelbrock E-Force Supercharger for $6,200 and they offer up to a 5yr/100K powertrain warrenty..

inside line usually a good source..
so I did hear it was gaining 200lbs

Am I the only one who wants the mustang to be faster than the camaro???? I only say this because if the mustang is faster... next model the camaro will up the ante to be even faster.

just to keep in mind some facts...



(hard to find those in a thread like this)

2011 mustang GT manual comes in at 8.7lbs/hp
2010 camaro SS manual comes in at 9.0lbs/hp

the new stang comes with higher gearing then we get (if i remember correctly, 3.41's stock or 3.73's with the track pack) compared to our 3.21's.

the gearing of the tranny's is the only thing unknow and assuming they've done what i'm sure they have; they've engineered the car to beat our beloved SS's.

that is assuming equally matched drivers and perfect replication of conditions.

but this is why i'm almost certain that GM is going for the throat of the snake with the new Z; kill the top dog and there wont be a next move to be made by the blue oval.
