If it has 410-hp to go along with that 7000 rpm redline then I'll be estatic. If the 2011 pulls that off and weighs 200 lbs less, we'll have a faster Mustang GT on our hands.

M3 has a 8400 redline, 414hp, and it still feels slow. hated the test drive.

the general public is probaly just as sick of seeing mustangs everywhere as we are.


they have become a steriotype as a poser/chick car.

We better hope the Camaro is a "chick" car also.If it only appeals to guys then it wont be around for very long.I really dont want to see the Camaro go away again.

It's all about torque not just HP , the M3 is rated at only 295 fp that's pathetic for a V8 , the 5.0 COYOTE will be at 375+ fp torque , BIG DIFFERENCE especially out ot the hole...

The M3 also does 0-60 in 4.1

This person saying they are "in the know, or know somebody that knows" and this is what they heard. Till its in print no one except the insiders know exactly whats going on. We need no more speculation. Just wait, drool, and froth at the mouth till its here like we did and once it comes out then post away.

I appreciate the advice, pardon me if I am not inclined to take it.

Trust me, while everybody think the rockers would look better painted body color, it looks better with the black rockers.

isnt that an opinion?
