#2764 of 2847 2010 Mustang by nyccarguy Apr 17, 2009 (7:03 pm)
They had a GT convertible and a Shelby GT500 Coupe on display at the NY Auto show. Personally I LOVE the new rear end of the car. I really dig the styling too. I swore off American cars a long time ago and the '10 Mustang GT is making me think otherwise. I'm a BMW nut, but the idea of a 325 lb-ft torque V8 is simply seductive. I'm still a long way away from buying a car as my '01 Honda Prelude Type SH has almost 110,000 miles on it and shows no signs of fading anytime soon.   Therein lies my biggest concern. How well will this car hold up over time? I'm not too worried about the engine or transmission, but how well are Mustangs screwed together? When I buy a car I plan to keep it for 10 years. I'm scared of domestic service departments too. I've always gotten a loaner car (I know this varies by dealer) from my Honda service dept (when I serviced it there for 6 years) and when I bring my wife's X3 in for service, they just blow me away with how accomodating they are.   Is there anyone out there in edmundsland that has a high mileage V8 Mustang with a stick?
#2765 of 2847 Only 5 speed? by nyccarguy Apr 17, 2009 (7:03 pm)
Why did Ford only make this car with a 5 speed manual, no 6 speed stick? Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 18, 2009 5:20 am) nyccarguy (Apr 18, 2009 7:32 pm) akirby (Apr 19, 2009 3:30 pm)

Replying to: nyccarguy (Apr 17, 2009 7:03 pm) With that much torque you don't need a 6 speed. Replies to this message: nyccarguy (Apr 18, 2009 7:32 pm) akirby (Apr 19, 2009 3:30 pm)

Replying to: akirby (Apr 18, 2009 5:20 am) I understand that aspect of it, really with 325 lb/ft of torque, you only need 4 speeds. How 'bout a nice, tall 6th gear for some better fuel economy? It wouldn't hurt the car's performance at all. Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 19, 2009 3:30 pm)

Replying to: nyccarguy (Apr 18, 2009 7:32 pm) If you notice, the powertrains are all carryovers this year. They get new engines (and probably transmissions to go with them) next year.
#2770 of 2847 New Powertrains by nyccarguy Apr 19, 2009 (5:43 pm)
What kind of engines/horsepower numbers are speculated? Are they moving to a 4 valve per cylinder design? Replies to this message: akirby (Apr 20, 2009 4:50 am) alman08 (May 13, 2009 7:07 am) akirby (May 13, 2009 7:44 am) and 11 more...

Replying to: nyccarguy (Apr 19, 2009 5:43 pm) The 4.0L V6 almost certainly gets replaced by the 3.5 or 3.7 Duratec (~270 hp and torque) and the 4.6L V8 gets replaced by a new 5.0L V8 putting out in the neighborhood of 350 hp/400 lb-ft according to the rumors. Ecoboost versions of both are also rumored. Replies to this message: alman08 (May 13, 2009 7:07 am) akirby (May 13, 2009 7:44 am) alman08 (May 15, 2009 7:36 am) and 10 more...
