In my opinion, its a blend of sport and muscle. But the 5.0 is badass, I heard that they're bringing back the Boss 6.2 as well. Bend your knees and touch your toes Camar-o, Ford's gonna show you where the wild goose goes ;) The 4.6 might sound whimpy, but the overall engineering of the Mustang is way better than the Camaro or Challenger.

That is good your a Certified technician. Their is a much bigger leap from technician to Mechanical and Metalurgical Engineering. The understanding what a metals tolerances are. I am sure you know what is best for the operation of an engine. They are discovering new metal (Combo) Alloys that work bettter together all the time. The old days of Pure Cast Iron is done. The next thing we'll do is come out with Electric motors that will make the so called muscle cars of today look like complete whimps in pale comparison mark my words on that one and you will live to see it!

Do you know what ASE stands for? When were you born and what grade are you in? What do you do for a living? Just curious, please humor me. I have 5 certifications because I'm a master technician. It is the maximum criterias available. I'm certainly old enough to be your grandfather with my graying temples. I've been at the same job as the senior master technician for over 37 years and quite frankly Ford agrees that I do it very well. I have plenty of spare time on my hands to educate teenagers like yourself who want to learn about automobiles because the dealership service department business traffic is below average. I'm also a part time high school auto mechanics instructor, for nearly 15 years. I would be happy to scan and e-mail you my credentials because what you imply versus what I do VERY WELL for a living are two different opposites.

Information courtesy of press release specifications by General Motors. American cars do not and will not use titanium for mass production due to cost reasons. However, the 2002-2006 Infiniti Q45's valves were titanium and sodium filled. The Acura NSX had titanium connecting rods.

Listen there are plenty of Manufacturers that provide an All Aluminum Block with NO CAST IRON SLEEVES if it is done correctly. I'll give you one good example Ie the ZR1 produces 638 HP do you think that Chevy wants to sell their Corvette at 100K a Pop and then tell the customer that just bought if Yes Sir that 638 HP will be good for a day and then you;ll have to scrap it because essentially your Corvette will be a POS and you need to take it to the nearest junk yard. So I think your living in fantasty land me thinks. Because true this has been a problem with Aluminum it has a much lower melting point that Steel or Cast Iron, but it has something to offer that neither man made metals has to offer a huge savings in weight. I think you need to go back and get a few more certifications in understanding how Aluminum and other metals such as Aircraft Titanium is used in everyday automobiles is done and secondly and more importantly how a manufacturer will warranty their power train 100,000 miles for 10 years that is before the government stepped in! I think Lexus of Nissan uses Titantium in their engines as well. Once again its lighter but definitely more expensive. And to finish this up one more time yes Ford should ready an All Aluminum and Titanium Coyote V8, but I also believe and this will go much farther down the line. Their will come a time that Electric Performance will far out strip the IC Engine in terms of performance a good indication is take a look at the Tesla S Sedan and that is Just starting my friend it will ONLY IMPROVE. This is why Mercedes Benz is over here trying to get as much Technology off the two EE's that started that company. Its amazing how the companies with power want to steal a great idea and make it their own. SaleenS351R

I'm a license and insured technician at a Ford dealer with 5 ASE certifications. I have owned more American performance cars than Jay Leno. I'm also one of the lucky few who attained a low serial number Saleen S351-R when they rarely ever hit the lot for sale. The F1 cars you speak of produces prodigious amounts of power for the race day and the engine lifespan ends right then and there. The aluminum mill is disposed of after the event duration. They do not and cannot reuse the engine due to the composition matter. It's quite the obvious. Even those phony stock cars called Nascars have all aluminum small block Chevys that get scrapped after everything is done for the evening. A larger radiator provides the cooling effect for normal operating temperatures only. A larger radiator will not help compensate the internal piston to cylinder wall contact patch. Which is why that cars with all aluminum engines are not really all aluminum in one essence. They have iron cylinder liners pressed in to protect the soft metal aluminum from disintegrating itself. I don't think Ford wants to warranty an engine that goes to metal heaven in one day does it? And neither do I because it takes forever for them to reimburse me for warranty work. BK2009, I’m no joke.

SO MUCH OF YOUR LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF METALLURGY and more exotic metal such as Alum and Titanium .Aluminum can withstand Normal Amounts of Heat as long as you have a large enough Radiator and other ways of Dissipating heat just like a computers CPU it'l function just fine.

Aluminum is a soft metal. Lightweight does not mean automatically a 1000-hp rating. Soft metal has a tendency to bend under stress. You are a immature teenager just like everyone says you are, not just this redneck who posted above. Why do you think my car has a iron block and iron cylinder heads? The 5.8L Windsor under my hood is probably capable of 1000-hp wiith big bucks because it's cast iron but I'm content with the stock 495-hp. Keep in mind this is centrifugal supercharged and intercooled configuration, which in turn is under a high stress load. I personally think Saleen kept the output low to protect the rear end, driveshaft, slip yoke, clutch, and tranny. If you learn more about the composition of powertrains, then your posts may have some credibility. Until then, stop being a troll on here and take your childish comments elsewhere.

Kinda reminds me of the turbocharged 2.3-liter 4-cylinder experiment called SVO. It's highly likely the SVO name will return to grace the fenders for the new model. And it may horribly flop just like the original SVO because Mustang enthusiasts prefer a single formula of cheap, V8, and live axle rear-wheel-drive.

A good old lump of pushrod cast iron that remained durable despite the abuse I put it through. That engine was a hoot. The body structure was not. It just rusted from the hatch area and floor boards. Rustang GT. As a current owner of the 1998 Mustang GT 4.6-liter, I would hope that this so-called Coyote thing be the standard GT engine for 2011. My '98 is aging and slow. Please don't use plastic intake manifolds. I will blow another massive coolant leak straight through the thermostat housing area. I drive hard with my fat ass. I want the new engine upgrade to be cheap but strong from the get go. Ford, please make this right and affordable. Do not put a ridiculous sticker price on it like the garaged queen GT500KR. The 2007-2009 GT500 had published acceleration numbers slower than the 2003-2004 SVT Cobra "Terminator" despite having a 130-hp advantage. What was Ford thinking? You idiots who want this new 5.0-liter to be all aluminum must be smoking crack. Once your thermostat, water pump, or radiator fails, say goodbye to your soda can motor. Results may include warped or cracked cylinder heads, blown head gasket, or cracked engine block. What do you think happens when you overheat a Cadillac Northstar, also a all-aluminum self proclaimed gem of a motor? Jesus christ. Camaro and Challenger are juggernaut luxury cars gone retro. Sure, my '98 GT gets smoked by a '93 Camaro Z28 350 LT1 all day long. But the latest offerings from GM and Chrysler lack the distinct raw feel that Mustangs were graced with. Simply put, the new Challenger SRT8 and Camaro SS might be faster. But those two cars are sorta artificial and high tech by driving themselves.

Edmunds stated the GT500 would kill the SS in any speed test, their best time was 0-60 in 4.0 seconds and best 1/4 time in 12.2 by the timimg lights at the track. Motor Trend did the 1/4 mile at 12.7 at 118 mph in GT500 and they mention that the track conditions where bad also. All the publications tested the GT500's on the same day and at the same track, Motor Trend , Edumds, Garage 419 and the rest stated the track was slick and they had a 25 mph head wind to contend with, which made for much slower times then the car was capable of doing; Car and Driver some how left that out. Anyways Car and Driver is in a pissing match with Shelby in which they slam Shelby personally, so Car and Driver word is to be taken with a whole bunch of grains of salt where Shelby cars are concerned. Bottom line the GT500 will eat up the new SS camaro at any track under the same condition, read Edmunds review of the GT500 they summed it up the best when compared to the SS.

P.S. johnny, was it on the Coquihalla? kinda nice just to let the car fly and let the mountains go by what if this new mill is lighter, just ’cause its bigger doesn’t always mean heavier, lets not forget, displacement is empty space, and weight it what surrounds it. it doesn’t say what the block, pistons, crank case, nor heads will be made of or what composition the liners will be. also this news comes from down under, it will have an application in the falcon, and its FPV variant, while the application here is just an assumption, albeit and good one that they should plop it into the mustang.

Can we pick this up later? What I didn't mention is that my trip today also involved 4 speed traps and some heavy braking maneuvers to avoid them so all three of my feet are really tired! I hope you stay on this forum. I love pissing matches when they stay on topic. keldon, that’s more like it. Can we pick this up later?

MT tested the cars and got the 2 tenths difference and also noted the Mustang is several hunderd lbs lighter. And do u think Ford is going to sell the 2011 Mustang GT with a 5.0 at the same price as the current car?? So the only point I made which may not hold true is the weight of the 5 vs the 4.6. But again, my original point was that with only a few minor alterations to a 2010 Mustang GT, it could beat the new Camaro to 60mph. And as far as getting into a pissing match, you started the negativity by telling me my logic was flawed, when all i was doing was stating my opinion. johnnycanuk, make sh** up?

You want to discuss Mustangs that's great, I've owned 5 of them including my current '02 GT which for what it's worth I put close to 400kms on today driving from the B.C. Okanagan to Vancouver. Even with 'only' 260 hp I was taking many stretches and slow speed turns at the mph equivalent of the posted kph speed limits. But back to our pissing contest and again, you just don't know that. Show me where this information is and I will gladly bow to your superior knowledge. Until such time, don't make sh*t up. keldon, first of all let’s not get into name calling.

I didn't say anything about going past 60. Obviously the 6.2 is going to have more top end Einstein. I'm simply saying that with a few minor mods the lighter Mustang could easily beat the Camaro 0-60. So why wait for the upcoming 5.0, which WILL be heavier and much more expensive, trust me. johnnycnuck, my point is the Mustang is almost a match 0-60 for the Camaro as it is…only 2 tenths slower (June MTrend).
