2010 New Ford Mustang : 305hp V6 Engine(Reviews and Specificatian)

2010 New Ford Mustang : 305hp V6 Engine(Reviews and Specificatian)

The Mustang 2010 used to be sold and made in Europe as the T5. It would be nice to see this car make it's way back thereThe engine is not only more powerful than the previous unit, but should also provide better fuel economy.
The company will use a 3.7-liter, 24-valve Duratec engine that produces 305-horsepower and up to 380 ft-lb of torque. This is a huge power improvement over the 210-hp 4.0-liter V6 used on the 2010 model year, despite the current unit having a larger displacement.Wow, almost 30mpg from a muscle car that looks this good? I think that Ford can begin sending this cars in Europe for a fight with the euro spec Camaro in 2011. Guess that muscle cars have a future after all.
This prompts obvious questions about what Ford will unveil for the Mustang GT. The aluminum engine is only 5-hp shy of the V8 engine used on the 2010 Mustang GT.Ford will pair the engine with a six-speed manual gearbox and short-throw shifter, with a hill-assist automatic transmission also available. Fuel economy with the manual is rated at 18mpg city, 29mpg highway, a slight improvement over the 18/26 figure on the 2010 MY.Make that 280lb-ft of torque, not 380. Its basically the same engine used in the Lincoln MKS but with a bump in hp.
Regardless, with this new engine it will no longer be the case that when a man mentions that he's driving a V6 Mustang that his comment will carry the same weight as casually mentioning to his close circle of female friends that making out with Edward Cullen probably wouldn't be that bad.
The real improvement is seen with the automatic, which gets 30mpg on the highway, a 25% gain over the outgoing model. New customers will also notice improvements in the chassis, springs, and damper tuning for better handling. A limited-slip differential will also come standard
Finally, and this is economical also. But now the v6 has 6 speed and the v8 5. Always when I see a picture of a mustangs engine I'm amazed that it isn't coverd in plastic like almost any other car today. NIce.
