the 05 mustang...
 

I get the magazine motor trend as a subscription, (reading about new cars is another hobby of mine) and today i get another one in the mail. as im flipping though it, they have an article in there about the new mustnag. I knew the mustang had a new design, and i knew what it looked like but never got to see any stats on it.
holy ----.
"The 2005 Mustang GT is the first mainstream production Mustang to break into the 300-horsepower arena. The 4.6-liter aluminum V-8 has three-valve per cylinder and cranks out 300 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque"

motor trend says...
(from the magazine)
0-60 in 5.1 :(
1/4 mile 13.6@ 99.9mph :D -and out of the box to! holy ----!

on the V-6
"SOHC V-6 engine generates 210 horsepower and 240 lb.-ft. of torque—in both cases, an improvement from the 2004 Mustang powertrains. And the all-new specially tuned intake manifold balances sound characteristics with maximum airflow, assuring a Mustang engine throaty growl that sounds as good as it performs."

lol, still behind the camaro by like 7 years. the old ls1 would probably romp that

Re:the 05 mustang...
 

I think that looks sexy as hell. Yeah the v6 gained 20 horses.

Re:the 05 mustang...
 

The car looks nasty.


MUSTANG:300 hp at 4.6 liters = 65.22 hp per liter
b16: 160 hp at 1.6 liters = 100 hp per liter


What great efficiency these new cars have. ::)

Hey steve.. compare torque ;)

Re:the 05 mustang...
 

Johnny can say whatever he wants. It just seems to me like if honda can make a motor to get that much per liter, than all of the other manufacturers should be able to at least come close to it.
All these years you've heard, <in redneck voice> "There's no replacement for displacemnet", yet it doesn't seem like they're using thier displacement to it's full potential.

Hey, look at the bright side. The new mustang has as many valves per cylinder as an hf. :o
