The New 2011 Ford Mustang 5.0

With possibly the worst kept secret in recent times, Ford has announced that the 2011 Mustang will be equipped with an all new DOHC 5 liter V-8 engine that makes 412 horsepower in naturally aspirated trim.  The engine features Twin  Variable Cam Technology (Ti-VCT) that  gives  precise variable and independent control of timing for both intake and exhaust valves. Independent adjustment of intake and exhaust valve timing allows maximum fuel economy at part-throttle, while delivering optimized power in full-throttle situations.

An added benefit is improved drivability and responsiveness across the torque curve because the cam timing can be instantly dialed in at any given time. Prior to this technology timing had to always be a trade-off between power, efficiency, and drivability - a single best compromise setting had to be accepted.

They come in blue and red, and each member gets one of their choice with their dues renewal. Any additional decals are $3 each, which is REALLY reasonable.
