Anyways that weight 3600lbs is right around what I was expecting... I'm looking forward to driving one and seeing how it feels.


side note: Listen to how badass this ZR1 sounds

You think the 2010 guys got screwed??? Imagine what the 2004 owners felt like! At least we have the same chassis/suspension and can retrofit the new 5L 4V engine/trans into our cars. The SN95 guys had no chance of getting a 3V into theirs....

Makes me wonder if the Explorer guys can retrofit a 5L into theirs (mounting points should be almost identical for a 3V as well). And this time a proper 5L and not something that just makes a bit more torque than the V6 <_<.

I may order one if Ford offers it as a crate. Or if someone really effs a 2011 up good.

No kidding. I got a 2003 Mustang GT a couple of months before they debuted the concept.

There isn't a Track Pack for the revised Mustang GT yet. A GT with the Brembo brake package will have all the handling goodies right now.

Most of the components that make the track pack are carried onto the 2011 by default.. just like the 2010 got the standard bullitt suspension that was only on the bullitt the year before... that looks to be the patern since forever... new gen gets the previous gens options defaulted...

Someone here stated you HAD to get the premium package to get the track pak and that the 14" brakes and 19" rims were part of that. So, I know based on this that those options are extra additions in price and in weight.

Based on that I think you're going to need those things on your car to be competartive on the track (brake fade and grip are important) so if you put one up against an SS you have to factor in the actual weight of the car, not the base model with skinny all-season tires and wimpy brakes (compared to the track pack).

yep definitely, heres the text from the link in the video

"First things first. With a bore of 92.2mm and a stroke of 92.7mm, the high-tech DOHC 32-valve engine under the hood of the 2011 Ford Mustang GT making its debut at the 2010 Detroit show displaces 4951cc. That figure legitimately rounds to 5.0 liters, unlike the 4942cc displacement of its pushrod predecessor. That overgenerous rounding drove some of us persnickety engineering types crazy for all those years, so right off the bat we're inclined more favorably toward this new V-8. Indeed there is a lot to like about this high-tech engine, starting with its output figures: 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque (on recommended but not required premium fuel, slightly less on regular no-lead).

Designed according to best-practices established in the design of the 3.5 and 3.7-liter V-6s as well as the 6.2-liter V-8, the Mustang GT's new 5.0 boasts cam-torque actuated variable valve-timing on the intake and exhaust cams plus a long-runner single-scroll intake manifold and tubular stainless headers to optimize breathing. Moving the alternator out of the valley opened up space for the 80mm throttle body to breathe directly into the larger intake manifold. To cope with the engine's 11:1 compression and high combustion stresses, the crank is forged steel and fully counterweighted, using forged powdered-metal connecting rods, floating wrist pins, and hypereutectic pistons cooled by oil jets. The bulkheads are also 2mm wider and the six main bearing bolts are larger than those in the 4.6. This is reportedly as large a displacement as this architecture can handle with the 1.2mm cylinder liners and the current deck height (a slightly larger bore could be accommodated by switching to a spray-lined cylinder design).


The unique new cylinder heads will not bolt up to earlier 4.6s. The exhaust cam has been moved down and outboard, so the intake cam could also move outboard a bit for a more vertical intake valve geometry. Extremely light valves and compact roller finger followers permit the engine to rev to the speeds of 7000 rpm. To cope with the extreme g-loading experienced on a track and enable a 10,000-mile oil-change interval, the oil capacity has been increased to eight quarts. Extensive baffling and redesigned oil return galleys ensure that the cylinder head oil drains and the oil pump pickup is supplied even at sustained 1g lateral loads.
