Looks like it will finally get a 6 speed stick...I assume that means the GT will finally get a 6 speed too? It's about time! The Camaro got a 6 speed when Clinton was still in his first term....for Pete's sake.

I thought they were going to announce the GT stats yesterday but apparently not. 6 speed and I think it's gonna end up a smidge over 400 hp. You may have seen that article, and I can confirm I've heard the same thing, that the new Mustang GT with the track pack is as fast as a current M3 around Gingerman. That's pretty cool.

Looks like it will be 412hp in the Mustang GT. :cheers

Thanks to a loose-lipped Facebookian that couldn't help sharing insider information and a quick follow-up post from Inside Line, we can now confirm the return of the iconic 5.0-liter Mustang GT for 2011. Even better news is the fact that the Mustang GT's new mill will crank out an impressive 412 horsepower.

By way of comparison, the 2010 Chevy Camaro SS has a 6.2-liter V8 with as much as 422 horses when mated to a six-speed manual and the 2010 Dodge Challenger SRT8 has a 6.1-liter Hemi that offers 425 ponies. And remember, both of those rivals are considerably heavier than the Mustang.

As much as we'd like to unload more goods on the 2011 Mustang, you'll just have to wait until Ford's good and ready. Or someone blows another embargo, whichever comes first.

With its lighter weight, it should be nearly as fast, if not as fast, as the 2007-2009 GT500 with 500 bhp. Good news for sure.
