Word is the system Ford is using on the Getrag 6-speed works through the PCM so eliminating the skip shift feature may not be as simple as installing a jumper wire. Skip Shift Anomoly 2011 GT - The Mustang Source - Ford Mustang Forums

More likely they are waiting for one of their suppliers to get up to speed...

Hmmm, they must not be too worried about oil cleanliness if the recommended oil change service interval is 10,000 miles. It does have an 8 qt capacity though.

Seems to me somebody has been sandbagging on the rod issue. If these rods are so weak why does the 2011 GT350 have a Whipple blower sitting on it? There is nothing in the specs of that car that states that Shelby will be replacing the stock rods in the 5.0 Coyote but they will be bolting an FRPP...

The Fusion Sport does not currently use the 3.7L. It uses the NA 3.5L. I also doubt the 3.7L in a FWD/AWD configuration would be rated at the same hp level as in the Mustang due to exhaust routing issues. But I agree that the Sport would be even better with the 3.7L. On the GT, I guess with...

Sounds like you are in the business of selling Mustangs? No offense, but if I were in your shoes I would be pushing 2010s too. ;)

I suspect its more of a timing issue in this case. IIRC there were pictures floating around over a month ago of a lot full of Camaros waiting to be released for shipment. I don't see any difference other than the Camaro just went into production sooner than the 2010 Mustang. Look at it this way...

Any speculation on when the 2011s will be available to order? When could you place an order for a 2010, Feb, Mar, 2009? Would it then follow that the 2011s would be about a year later?

What he said. I doubt that 300 six is the original engine as those were only used in trucks. Are you sure it's not a 250?

I was thinking what my next project might be after I finish two or three others in progress. :D Here's the plan. State your alternates if you got 'em. 69 or 70 Dynacorn Sportsroof body. Terminator or GT500 engine and trans. 9 in solid axle rear with the latest 3 link or 4 link coil-over...

03Stanger, I would not expect to see a six-speed manumatic in the EcoBoost Mustang, assuming Ford actually builds one. If they do offer one it would not be the same transmission you referred to that will be in the Taurus SHO. The Taurus SHO is AWD with a transversely mounted engine/transaxle...

Most people think that is just a typo. There is also speculation that there will be an aluminum block in the 2011 GT500. Who knows? Also rumors of a 5.0 4V aluminum block for 2011 that has wider bore spacing than the current mod V8s. Not sure if that will be used in the GT500 though. Wouldn't...

I am seriously thinking about building a restomod using the 69 Dynacorn body. Once I get my 70 Q Code Mach 1 finished I would like to have something I would not be afraid to drive every day. I could see using a more modern suspension, maybe a 03-04 Terminator engine and trans. Would even...

For those who didn't live through the first generation of muscle cars, here are some facts to consider... There were multiple reasons why those cars faded away. Number one was a spike in fuel prices. Sound familiar? My first Mustang, believe it or not, was a used 69 Boss 429 with a 4.57:1 axle...

I recently purchased a 70 Mach 1 project. The previous owner had started some of the body repairs and had purchased new sheetmetal for other areas. One area that I don't have a replacement for yet is the firewall right above the torque box on the passenger side. I have looked at several parts...

You're absolutely right but at this point there really isn't much to see unless you enjoy pics of a stripped shell full of loose parts. I suppose I could also post pics of the motor and trans if that trips your trigger. :D

Update Well, the Mach 1 has been in my garage for only a couple of weeks now and I have already started to accumulate parts. CJ Pony Parts had a year end sale and they got a pretty good chunk of my change. Weatherstrip kit, bumper kit, front suspension parts, etc. I also bought the 428 from...

The scoop on the 69 Boss 429 I had back in the 70's was a 'glass piece bolted to a steel hood. It had a metal flapper in front that was controlled by a cable with the knob under the dash right beside the knob for the manual choke. No bull.

Well, it took a little longer than expected but the Mach I is moving into my garage today. Since I don't have a lot of extra space, some of the smaller pieces will be moved later. The thing that sucks is that my daily driver will have to sit outside until I can move my 75 Bronco to another...
