the new motors are pretty impressive. the 3.7 v6 doesn't make as much as the 2010 4.6 v8, but yeah it is kind of close. 305/280 for the '11 v6 and 315/325 '10 v8.
still, very respectable for a v6 MUSTANG to be able to go mid 5 0-60, 14.0 1/4 mile, and 0.95 on the skid pad. i am glad they finally decided to ditch the truck 4.0 L
the new 5.0 v8 package as a whole is pretty incredible. ford racing also sells a supercharger for it for $7,500 more that will bump the power from 412/390 up to 624/536.
the 2010 mustang was already beating the camaro and challenger in comparisons. now it isn't even close. i think that is why they put it up against the bmw m3... which it almost beat...
ford racing also sells a $6,000 supercharger upgrade for the gt500 which will bump the power up from 550/510 to 750/719.
as far as trying to dominate the 550 hp cts-v engine... idk. they are meant for a different type of customer. plus the cts-v is a much more expensive car than the gt500. they basically put out the same power although the caddy has more torque. damn... wrote too much. don't get me started talking about mustangs. lol.
