Fords bringing back the 302

[FocusDude]

And this thing just looks insane. I know I'm a fanboi and all, but the Mustang is just ****ting all over Chevy and Dodge. The 5oh is now putting down 412hp/380tq. Everything about this car I love. If I could only see one in real life let alone own one?

I wanna autoX the balls off a new mustang.

[Supraru]

Not a fan of the rims but the new 5.0's are insane. Chevy and Dodge are going to have to step up in a major way to try to compete.

Wait till the 560hp z28 comes out next summer. But this car does look nice I just think ford over does it with all the different edition Mustangs they should just offer them all as a dealer installed option.

Yeah that's great and all but they are behind the ball. They are being reactive not proactive. Plus the stang destroys these cars in handling too. I hope chevy steps it up.

Yea and I've been waiting on a turbocharged focus in the states, somethings you wait to see to believe.

And I have a hard time believing Chevy would produce a sports coupe with more HP then a vette... Unless the vette is really going mid-mount.

They were very close to going rear engine for the next corvette. Pratt & Miller was even designing the car off the C6 chassis so they could start racing it before the car was even out but Chevy backed out because of their financial problems.

I have wanted that Focus RS over here since I saw it.

And chevy will make a camaro with the LSA motor from the CTS-V with more power than the regular vette cause of the Z06 and ZR1.

^^ I would agree that it will happen, it can happen. Just waiting wishing right now.

My bet is that if this car ever does come to fruition, the GT500 will still outperform it. Don't forget the current Mustangs also out handle the Camaros and they have far better visibility as well. If there is any hint of a Camaro topping the current GT500, I would fully expect Ford to up the ante just like they did with the new V6 and Coyote 5.0.

[JERRYM1997]

Ever since the 60's GM has outperformed ford and they will do it again look it up it is a fact and the 2011 Camaro v6 has 312hp to outperform the mustang again and I assure you that gm will not keep the transmission the same in the z28.

On a lighter note I do like your Talon.

[BigWhiteTodd]

all i gotta say is 12.7 in the 1/4 stock not bad at all.

The new V6 in the Mustang is underrated. A stock 2011 V6 made over 330hp on a dyno and it gets great fuel economy too. I'm a huge Mustang fan, but I'm not someone who hates on any car because of make so I hope you're right and the Z28 comes out and is absolutely sick. I like all performance cars so companies one upping each other makes me happy. Like I said before, if the Z28 tops the GT500 I'm sure Ford will do something to one up GM. I'm not going to root for one or the other to be better, I'm going to just sit back and wish I could afford either car. Oh, and thanks for the compliment, I like it too.

Bottom line both Mustang and Camaro v6 are faster than a 2009 GT which makes me happy.

[Scapegoat]

going to assume the boss is going to be hitting the low/mid 40k range before dealers throw their 2 cents in on that...

if the prices remain in the low 40k range the 2010 may be traded in in 2012 or 2013 for a boss 302.... i am excited...

[jpalamar]

Why are people comparing the GT500 to the Camaro. They aren't even in the same price range. Also, the LS motors respond so well to mods but I don't really know anything about the 5.0 but I'm assuming Ford pushed it fairly far to get it as far as it arleady is.

[JERRYM1997]

5.0 vs 6.2
Camaro has more potential... There is no replacement for displacement...

[Elliott18t]

so im guessing you didnt see that video of the new GT beating the new camaro..

the 5.0 is hardly close to maxed out. one shop brought the whp up to around 380-390 with what... an intake and tune?

it just came out... give the shops time to play with the new system.

[boostedfury]

ughhhhh im going stir crazy here...dying to trade my car in for a new 5.0 and now this lol! damn you Ford!!

[jpalamar]

I like the preformance of the new 5.0, but I hate the interior with a passion. I hate the Camaro body but like the interior. We need a mut child.
