New 5.0 DOHC GT to have 425hp?
- Thread starter A4BLK98SS
- Start date
awesome, only 2 more days!!
I thought the official announcement was to be made on December 7th?
It's a good time to be blue :beer:
Its the late 60s muscle car era all over again, everybody is going higher and higher with no end in sight I wonder how long this can last
Based on history, it can't last much longer.
I fear you're right. But for the love of God, I hope you're wrong 'cause this trend over the past some years has been GREAT!!!
The root for both may have shared designs, but the new Jaguar 5 litre was mostly developed by... Jaguar. Can you prove otherwise?
Even taking that into consideration, it appears you have missed my point. It doesn't have direct injection, Jag doesn't have "damb". The Jag doesn't have a larger bore, the Jag doesn't have better heads. And the Jag is about one year older already.
Yes that is correct, it will be biased towards the 400hp mark, with not as much torque as what you'll find in the F150 (and the Jag V8). Two different applications, two different states of tune, and hardware differences.
You are drawing comparisons and jumping to conclusions without considering what differences there are.
Anyway, the Ford's is squarer and has different heads.
You'll know more about it when it's released.
Low price, and volume, doesn't mean they can't do it right. Using your theory that the Jag V8 was "developed by Ford", wouldn't that mean Ford could only improve on the Jag's V8????
Did you manage to read about the Ford's 3.7 litre pulling 305hp??? That doesn't have d/i, and cube for cube, that's more power than Jag's V8. Using the same specific power, that's over 410hp for a 5 litre.
Cheers.
i would agree, however with the 2011 V6 mustang having 30mpg........it might last longer than we thought. Thats going to do insanely well for the average fleetwide MPG rating of the Mustang.
When is Ford going to unveil the new 2011 Mustang GT? Is it supposed to debut at the L.A. Auto Show? The auto show starts today. I know the new V6 Mustang is making it's debut at the auto show, it would be disappointing if the new GT wont be there. Looking at the auto show web page, it looks like only the new V6 makes its debut
LA Auto Show
Doesn't Ford's new 6.2L truck engine have something like 411hp? Isn't this 5.0 coyote engine also supposed to make its way into the F-150? With this in mind, is it reasonable to believe that the 5.0 Coyote engine will have 400hp? If Ford released a 5.0 with 400hp, wouldn't that kind of make their 6.2L engine look stupid? I wouldn't be surprised if the new 5.0 gets 350hp.

A truck engine and performance engine shouldn't be compared. Two totally different applications.
Look for the 5.0 to come in slightly over 400hp.
F150 5.0l - ~360HP
mustang 5.0l - ~400HP
mustang 5.0l - ~400HP
First, there are multiple iterations of the Coyote, with different cams and different tunes.
Second, the Boss/Hurricane 6.2L is going to be the bottom engine in the HD trucks,m while the Coyote is the top engine in the F150. The two engines will be in completely different platforms.
Third, the 6.2 while only having 11 more horsepower is a truck engine and will have a huge torque advantage.
so when do we find out the official details of this engine?
It looks like not until Detroit :nonono:
My guess is that we'll find out before that though when the January issues of car magazines leak out towards the end of December.
We are supposed to find out this weekend.
hopefully by this weekend. I'm going to the autoshow on the 11th. I'll be really disappointed if the new 2011 GT isn't there.
