The new V6 should be a solid 13 second car in V6 form. Pretty amazing to think that a standard Mustang is faster than a lot of its V8 predicessors.

The big news is the Coyote 5.0L V8. It's rumored to be 400/400+ hp with 6 speed transmissions. Ford is offering 14" Brembos as an option. Hell, the rumor is the 2011 GT track pack was running with the current M3 at Gingerman. Ricky better watch out!

300+ hp and 30 mpg ain't bad out of the mustang. It did take Ford long enough to put it all into the Mustang, but they didn't for a reason. It was supposed to be reasonably priced, not beat every thing out of the box in performance. I mean a stock GT is supposed to be quick and cheap. The GT500 is supposed to be where they showcase what the chassis can do (although it is a fat pig that handles about as well as an oil tanker) As long as the new 5.0L stays aluminum block and head, and stays under like 3500 lbs in Track Pack form, I'll be happy.
