2011 Ford Mustang GT 5.0 Review,Price And Specifications – Ford has embellished on this old-fashioned recipe with a car that handles, gets decent fuel economy when driven mildly, and doesn’t consume your driveway like the much larger and heavier Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger.
Since the Mustang went into production 46 years ago, Ford has made steady and incremental improvements almost every year. This year the changes are big, starting with a new four-cam, 32-valve, aluminum-constructed 5.0-liter V-8.
Performance has long been an integral aspect of the Mustang GT equation, but reviving the historic 5.0 badge brings a new level of expectation from the Ford faithful. Horsepower peaks at 412 at 6,500 rpm, while torque peaks at 390 pound-feet at 4,250 rpm. The 5.0 engine, when mated to the new, slick-shifting six-speed manual transmission as on our test car, can deliver the Mustang GT from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds (4.5 seconds with 1 foot of rollout, as on a drag strip).
These numbers have the 2011 Ford Mustang GT handily beating the last Chevrolet Camaro SS and Dodge Challenger SRT8 we tested. This engine is too good for this car.
For 2010, Ford spruced up the Mustang’s interior with soft-touch materials and more brightwork. On the base GT, plain, deep-grained plastic abounds, the steering rim a no more thrilling ring of plastic to grip than a Hula Hoop. A car’s power and handling can be improved, but if stopping power lags behind, it means reduced confidence at best (and twisted metal at worst). New for 2011 is a Brembo Brake package with 14-inch vented rotors grabbed by four-piston calipers up front and 11.8-inch vented rear rotors grasped by two-piston calipers in back.
It turns sharply and holds a precise trajectory through a turn. In matchups with the independently sprung Camaro, we’ve come away lauding Ford’s decision to stick with the live axle. What’s not better is the capless fuel port Ford adopted last year. If the new “Coyote” 5.0-liter isn’t the best engine the company has ever made, this is unquestionably the best Mustang in a long line and probably the best car Ford sells in the United States.
