2011 Ford Mustang GT: 412 HP And 26 MPG

Click here to read 2011 Ford Mustang GT: 412 HP And 26 MPG
It's not just the V6-engined 2011 Ford Mustang with impressive fuel economy chops. We're now told the 412 HP 5.0-liter-engined 2011 Ford Mustang GT will see a bump up to 26 MPG on the highway. Not too shabby.

[jalopnik.com] got me looking at the Ferrari store and wondering.

Which is better, Ferrari Tricycle or Jeep Stroller.

Remember, as a driver, you are in control of the Stroller, while the Ferrari, though red, will surely get abused, left in the rain, and possibly tripped over.

The Jeep has more horsepower, but doesn't handle as well with a skilled operator as a toddler hell bent for leather on a trike.

So which will it be? Soccer Dad Steerage or Performance Peddler?

Any of you care about the spy photo of the 2011 Dodge Charger interior? Everything looks really nice except the large silver trim piece. I hope they offer a version where that trim piece is flat black or some other color/material.

Here's an excerpt from the Motor Trend article you posted at 2:00 pm:
As the votes were tallied, four editors sheepishly and very grudgingly admitted that the best midsize sedan here was the Camry. Two more ranked it second, and one placed it third, earning Camry the consensus win.
I want to meet the lone editor that placed the Camry third and give him a gun to shoot the other guys.

@Franzouse: Gun? Heck, keys. It sounds like he only drove two other cars in order to give the Camry third.

@Shamoononon: I wasn't. I was trying to Google a picture of the 85-mph speedometer installed in U.S. Ferraris, and after several attempts, I typed in "Ferrari Speedo." This popped up in the search results. At least it's NOT a speedo.

@Møbius: [flatout-f1.sakura.ne.jp]

75 degree DOHC V12
690 mm x 580 mm x 495 mm
3493 cc displacement
85 mm x 52.3 mm bore and stroke
13.0 : 1 compression ratio
765ps / 13,500rpm horsepower
42.5kg-m / 11,500rpm
158 kg weight

The dyno chart shows horsepower climbs at a 60 degree or greater angle from 8,000 to 13,500 RPM.

i know there is a ultra rare video of it running, somewhere on the interwebs...dunno if i can find it though.

@Møbius: So, Isuzu’s 3.5 liter V12 engine was run on the circuit only once, the Summer of 1991. Almost 20 years later, we interviewed Isuzu about the P799WE, but Isuzu declined to comment, saying that it had been so long since they had ceased sedan/passenger car production.

In 1997, there were 7 engines, and enough spare parts to assemble two additional engines. Maybe the engines are in the corner of the Fujisawa factory. Or, maybe they were destroyed.

In 2009, there is one P799WE engine at Tamiya Headquarters, and the writer said he received a piston from one of the engineers he interviewed. That is all that can be confirmed to exist: one engine and one piston.

But one of the engineers involved in developing the P799WE is still working as an engine engineer for one (unnamed) F1 team.

sorry for totally jacking your thread bro. "Secret" engines intrigue me.
