2011 you'll see one. dual overhead cam, 5.0. theres quite a few articles on it. think its called like codename coyote or something like that.
i see a boss coming this new body style. i don't see a bullitt in the new one. i could be wrong, but i just don't think they'll make one. i see a boss variant, or maybe mach 1 variant. i wanna see a cobra jet, but now with the cobra jet drag car, i dont see them making a streetable cobra jet.
i think around 35k would be a great price if it was just the gt500 motor naturally aspirated,but i would rather see some BIG cube motors back in the stang. get a naturally aspirated 428, with optional IRS. call it vette killer. then add a blower option labeled as ZR1 in rear view mirror mod.
The hottest rumor is that the 5.0 modular engine will be an option in the 2011. Knowing Ford, it will be an overpriced Boss or Mach 1 model though. A $36,000 sticker will = dealers charging at least $40,000. Dale Jarret Ford in NC has a couple of '09 GT500's for 49,500, so with some bargaining,...

one thing i just thought of. if they are going to throw a 5.0 in the 2011, what are the cubes gunna be? if they are going to be sticking to the 302 tradition it'll really be a 4.9.

You guys realize the Economy sucks and most car companies like Ford are having tough times due to the economy.
I don't expect to see any of these cars you claim for sometime, Most people aren't buying muscle cars its a small %. hold on to your stangs could be a dying breed.

i agree somewhat. but fords gotta be doing something right having the money to release a drag car only. and theres a waiting line. so i think they are doing a okay. haha.

Yes, you will definitely be seeing one indeed. As a matter of fact, I just posted a new thread in the 2010 Mustang forums " Ford's 400HP 5.0 (Coyote) V8 spied ! "

klaw just posted that link in THIS thread ... My response is still, I'll believe it when I see it. I've been seeing pictures of the 5.0L being developed for 5 years at least. It's still not out and I doubt it'll be out in 2011.
A 6.2L V8 with the current bore size on the these motors (3.55") would need a stroke of over 4 3/4", which is insanely long. If ford want's to turn the mod motor into a big cube motor they're going to need to rework the thing from scratch on a larger bore size. The current max for these motors using a siamese bore layout is about 3 3/4", and it needs to be more like 4"+. Either that or start shoehorning V-10s in there, which is fine by me.

They did release a 5.0 DOHC... It's the FR500 so I guess Ford Didn't lie..... now if they could just add the emission stuff that's a whole different story.

Walter, the DOHC 5.0 you're referring to that's in the FR500...is the 5.0 Cammer which is nothing more than a bored out 4.6 block with forged internals and FRPP racing heads/intake.
The 400HP 5.0 (Coyote) on the other hand, is a completely new designed engine from the ground up, including new block, intake, 4V heads and new engine management system.
With that said, this new 5.0 DOHC (Coyote) doesn't share anything in common with the 5.0 Cammer....that's in the FR500 race cars !
