It's official: 2011 Ford Mustang to have 412 horsepower 5.0 V8


It has been rumored over and over for a long time now, but we have confirmation today that the 2011 Ford Mustang will indeed offer an available 5.0 V8. This news comes on the heels of Ford's 2011 V6 Mustang that offers almost as much power as the current V8 Mustang, so you knew a healthy boost was in store for the V8.

The 5.0 in the '11 will have a healthy 412hp, which is 10 ponies less than the Camaro SS and 13 less than the Dodge Challenger SRT8. Only thing is, both of those cars are considerable heavier than the Mustang.
