Tracking revisions inside and out last year, the 2011 Ford Mustang gets all the new drivers this year, including a 305 hp V6 and 412 hp V8. Save new six-speed manual and automatic transmissions. Other changes include a switch for the electric power steering (hydraulic), bigger brakes, revised suspension tuning, added sound insulation, additional body reinforcements GT convertible, blind spot mirrors and Ford MyKey systems.
Frankly, this is not Ford, we used to know. When the venerable Mustang coming out of many of the major changes in the last year, including an updated style, better quality interior and new features, we would not have believed nothing would change for the 2011 Mustang. The old Ford was quoted as saying that this is good enough and kicked the back porch, beer in hand. But today, the Ford, which has been the construction of a car as impressive as the Flex and the Fusion is loaded again, in 2011 and 2010 is directed to the primary engines of weakness Stang.

| 2011 Ford Mustang Coupe |
We start with the V6. It is not a terribly powerful song that had not changed much since the 1990s. In 2011, new Ford Mustang 3.7-liter V6 is now all-aluminum construction, dual overhead camshafts and variable valve timing. Just crank out 305 hp, 10 hp, or just less than last year's V8. The torque has increased by 40 lb-ft as well, to give you 280 pounds-feet, the shrill sound you hear is a V6 Mustang is doing a burnout respectable.
The power is always sent to the rear wheels, of course, but this time through a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Gears of extra help to win a Mustang V6 commendable 31 mpg estimated highway fuel. This year, the V8 has been given a jolt of adrenaline too. Shoot 5.0 liters of displacement, which has four valves per cylinder and double overhead camshafts. Peak output is 412 hp and a bustling 390 lb-ft of torque. The two transmissions for the Mustang GT V8 (manual and automatic) also upgraded six-speed units.
Of course, there is still room for improvement. Mustang is still a telescoping steering wheel, for example, and it would be wrong if we do stress that these new engines have increased the price of the Mustang around a grand. However, it seems money well spent. Chevrolet Camaro has always top honors for his remarkable style, and the Dodge Challenger is surprisingly nice in a sort of old-school muscle car way. But if you want the best all around pony car of 2011, look no further than the holistic approach to improved 2011 Ford Mustang.
