I'm excited about the 2011 3.7L V6 (305hp) and the 5.0L V8 (412hp). I'm sure that the dealers will be including a big ADM (add'l dealer markup) like they were doing when the S197's first came out. Ford fans may not like the new Camaro or Challenger, but compeition is a good thing cuz it forced Ford to improve their offerings.

Good point but here is how to deal with that.What I did in 05 was to order mine on 1st day of orders (about 4 months before production) That was before they started that despicable practice after the release in March. They cursed me for that for 3 years until I got my Bullitt and got even by charging me 2K extra. The way things are they may not be able to get away with it now. People are getting wise. I have 2 friends who have 1st year GT 500's who paid WAY over and will never see it. Now its my turn to pull the same early order trick again and they may not argue with me this time, Get them in January, thats when they are the weakest all year. Im just waiting for the unveiling Monday

I agree....Competition makes Ford's offerings better. I hope that they keep this in mind, though, while they try to push that FWD Taurus on police departments across the country. History may be about to repeat itself.

I'm thankful that we are in this "muscle car period" and think that we should enjoy it while we can.
