> Ford Mustang 5.0 Will Return in 2011 > May 18th, 2009 by Ross Edwards > Ford announced today that the 2011 Ford Mustang will once again have a 5.0 liter V8 engine. For Ford fans, the number 5.0 is a reminder of happier times, when the Mustang was the coolest car on the block. The new engine, codenamed Coyote, will be available in the F-150 next year and in the Mustang GT for the 2011 model year. According to MotorAuthority, the engine will make about 400-hp. > The Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro have been in an on-and-off rivalry since the Camaro was released in 1967 as GM’s response to the Mustang’s popularity. In the following years, Ford and Chevy were like the Hatfields and the McCoys. > In 1996 it looked like Ford was giving up on the competition when it got rid of the 302 cubic inch 5.0 liter engine in the Mustang GT in favor of a 215-hp 4.6 liter one, just as Chevy upped the ante with its 275-hp LT1 engine. When the aluminum LS1 found its way to the Camaro, it became clear that if you wanted a pony car, you had to buy a Camaro. The Mustang became a chick car.

Good point the mustang was never discontinued. I wouldn’t say it was b/c it is “better”…but b/c it is appealing to chicks and they bought a ton of them…that is what more than likely kept it alive. I will say the 7 years w/o the f-body was rough…but it is worth it knowing it isn’t a chick car. I am just glad it is back. ---

Sucked to see the 5.0 go… what more amazing sound than a 5.0 with flowmasters. However, at least Ford did it right with the Cobras and the mod motor. ---

I think it was more of a guilt trip. GM was wondering why their sales were down, then they realized that they had nothing for the fanboys to get a boner over for under $50k since 2002. ---
