The Mustangs power per dollar ratio drops quite a bit in 2010 but it's expected to have 400hp in 2011.

 

Yeah, that's ridiculous. I thought they were supposed to have a 5.0L in 2010?

 

Wrong section bro.

 

The sad thing is they probably over rated the horsepower just like they always do

 

Was always 2011MY not 2010.

You mean underated.
The last time they overated was the 99 Cobra,
ever since then they have underated by 5 to 40+hp

 

Is the V6 going to be a 3.5L?

 

Not in 2010, Z28x. I think it gets a new engine lineup in 2011, presumably including some variation of the 3.5 / 3.7 duratecs.

 

That sucks, I think people could live with the 4.6L, but the V6 really needs to be replaced. How can they compete with a 300HP V6 IRS Camaro for around the same money.

 

Actually, it appears like the Mustang will be a couple of thousand dollars less.

 

Not only a couple of thousand less, it also isn't giving up much to the Camaro's V6 via horsepower numbers.

That 90 fewer horsepower is carrying around 300 fewer pounds.

 

3750/3450 = 1.087 (Camaro is 8 - 10% heavier than Mustang V6)
304/210 = 1.448 (Camaro is 45% more powerful).

Camaro has six speed manual or auto, Mustang has 5 speeds.

Until the Mustang gets a 3.5L or 3.7L V6, the base Camaro is going to kill the base Mustang (in terms of performance).

 

WHY do these threads never end?!?!

Maybe it's time to open a new forum - "How New Mustangs Always Suck".
It's simply amazing they are even offered for sale anymore, because heaven knows they are ugly, underpowered, hard to drive, fall apart, have terrible interiors, cost to much, and they are deathtraps to boot. Oh yeah, and they are painted sucky colors too.

Oh yeah - the Mustang is probably the reason why Ford is going out of business too. Stupid ding-dongs should know better than to produce a pile of crap like that, huh?

 

Iwouldnt say they ALWAYS suck, but i would say, that its a shame they dont put the new motors, in the newly redsigned bodys.. from first year.

 

This is a partisan GM board. There is going to be some anti-Ford sentiment, just like their is anti Brand-X sentiment on any & every other brand-specific enthusiast's board. Period. You can keep focusing on a small handul of haters when the overall response to the 2010 Mustang has been positive on multiple threads, or you can get the F over it. If you're on some kind of mission to educate the great unwashed you should probably realize that haters are haters and always will be haters. They are the vocal minority on just about any board.

I could go to a Mustang board and get bent out of shape over Mustang fans calling the new Camaro any number of colorful euphamisms for ugly & overweight. But you know what? I don't. They have a right to their opinion and generally don't respond very well to people they perceive as GM-biased interlopers. What makes this board any different? Again, multiple threads have perfectly reasonable discussions about the new Mustang. Why aren't you posting there instead of here in a thread by & for haters?
