I heard about that. It's gonna be sweet

The 390 ft lbs are a tiny bit sad when we were all hoping for 400+ but with no weight gain it should be nice

Even though in the article it says that the Camaro and the Challenger are heavier...Im still not that impressed with those numbers...it seems like Ford could do better.

WHAT?!?! :confused:

Let's look at this.

The 93 SVT Cobra only had a 5.0 with 235 hp and 290 ft/lbs.

Now we're looking at 412 hp and 390 ft/lbs with the same exact displacement...

That's a huge fucking leap.

Especially compared to a 6.2 pushrod with only 420 hp.

I say great fucking job. The best job they've done so far.

Yeah not sure what you're smoking there. The GT500 MSRPs for around 45k.

Wow, I can't wait till I get a job and can buy one of these!

shad0ws 12-18-2009 05:12 PM

I'm actually really excited about this. Can't wait to see what people will do with this one...

Deathdiesel 12-18-2009 09:22 PM

Dude i went and looked at a 2010 GT with basically just an apearance package, brand new was 38,000. This was with the basics i believe, not even the shaker 1000. :(
Even went to build your own online and they had same prices. Also why the hell is "Grabber Blue" baby blue now? I love the original mach1 blue....Id love a 2011 Gt with MAch1 Grabber Blue with white Lemans goin down the middle...would be very secksy.

krenogin 12-18-2009 09:31 PM

i wonder if the 2011 gt500 will have this 5.0 as well. It makes almost the 540 N/A. hopefully the 5.0s respond to forced induction well. id say they can pull more power out. bottom line i hope they are as reliable as the old 5.0's but i doubt we'll ever see that reliability again.

I see the GT premium at sub 30. Obviously you won't be able to get it at that price quite yet because of the stealership mark ups but who pays sticker

I saw a 2011 Cobra at a gas station last night. that thing was sick! dude said it was pushin' over 500hp and had sumthin' bigger then the 5.4l in it, he wouldn't say exactly what tho...it was a beauitful car!

pics or it didn't happen

I'm exctited about the 2011 cars, but realisticly, having one is years off in my future. What I can look forward to is the amount of 03/04 Cobra owners who are going to sell to get a newer car, the price on them is bound to come down a bit.

True. Either way i wont buy one until late 2011 or 2012 if i can. I know my brother got his 2008 GT/CS in 2008 for 28,000 after talking it down from 31,000 so hopefully mine will be around the same price.

krenogin 12-19-2009 08:41 AM

im gonna hold out a bit, and maybe get cheap 03 04 cobra vert. but the 2010s look so nice in grabber blue..

i wish i woulda taken some pix of it. The guy said he was w/a testing agency. The auto makers give'em brand new cars to work out the bugs in them. He was kinda evasive on some of my questions so i didn't want to push my luck...and i only had my camera phone and i don't have a clue how to get pix from there on my comp. sorry guysss!!!

mustangman95gt 12-20-2009 11:52 AM
