I think I like my live axle, pair it up with a 400hp 5.0 and a 6spd manual, keep it under 3700lbs and that would be a sweet mustang

Now 300hp out of a V6 is more like it
The extra 100hp of the 5.0 would be nice but where can you go to exploit it!!!
REPORT: 2011 Ford Mustang to get upgraded Track Pack to handle 5.0 "Coyote" power? — Autoblog
First things first, Autoblog confirms that the Mustang came in 200lbs LESS than the M3..good news, secondly this mustang had P Zero Corsas on there..The same as the Lambo........ Third...This mule had only 1 tailpipe, its speculating that this GT.....had the Twin Turbo Eco-Boost in it !!! Is Ford just playing around...or is the new GT going Eco on us ?
I sure hope the GT isn't an ecoboost. I was thinking about upgrading if the 5.0 is released, but I'll never buy a mustang that sounds like a diesel.
^^^ Well my only concern is that the new Boss Mustang is scheduled to release in 2011 also.... Maybe the 5.0 is going to be reserved for specialty models.
V6 - 3.7lt 280 hp
GT - 3.5lt 365-385 hp Eco Boost
Boss - 5.0lt 400-430hp

so anyone think this 5.0 is going to be a more thirsty engine ??
That is what I have been saying.
With nothing comfirmed yet I'm pretty sure the line up will be similar to this:
V6 3.7L 250HP
V8 4.6L 315HP
Boss 5.0L 400HP
That's pretty much what I was thinking. And I'm sure you are going to be paying about $40k for that new 5.0 as well. I think it's going to take another massive economic downturn, and I mean more than what's happening now, to lead Ford away from the tried and true GT V8.
I'm sure they are talking about the sedans. Not the Mustang. And this being an American issue, I can tell you the V8 trucks won't be going anywhere soon either. Actually, I'll put a large wager on that bet.
