    When did mustang get the 5L?

    Ok is someone dicking around with the mustang wiki page because i could have sworn 5L coyote engines were introduced 2009 or 2010 not 2011. Eveything regarding the 2005 generation feels like it was edited recently because everything feels out of place. Am i wrong? I kept remembering that the engine change came with the updated look in 09.

    My buddy was pretty pissed when he bought a 2010 GT with the 4.6 when he could have waited a year for the 5.0.

    That's what I said, I guess he wasn't informed and purchased one of the first black 2010s the dealer by him received back in '09.

    Im liking that it seems that mustangs are gonna have tons of engine options like back in the 60s but i say the ecoboost is a load of flaming turds. This need for eco muscle cars blows my mind. If youre eco oriented you are buying the wrong car. Its like looking for a v6 aventador because you wanna watch your gas consumption. Get real.

    It has, the new body style came out for the 10 model year, not the 09. The 05-09 were the same. You can tell the 09s by the 'horseshoe' anniversary emblems.

    You do realize that the Mustang has always had small eco engine options from the beginning? the I-6 in the first one made a whole 100hp... the eco boost looks like it's going to make somewhere around 350.

    The small engine models sell the volume so that they can continue making the V8s.

    Get real

    Nailed it!! Mustang is not a "Muscle" car, it's a Pony car, it's supposed to have a wide variety of engines to make it appealing to a broad market. Only then is it profitable enough to continue production. EcoBoost in every variation I've seen so far is fantastic.

    The news about the 5.0 return was in the press for almost 6 months, if not longer. The 2010 was actually a short production year knowing that the public was waiting for the new engine to preview.

    The original 2.3 L Turbo SVO Mustangs were faster than the 5.0s stock vs stock. I'm sure this ecoboost will be no laughing matter either.

    Not so sure about that...The magazines tested the '85 5.0L GT and it ran high 14 secs in the 1/4 mile.
    That is exactly what my bone stock '85 GT ran: 14.92s to 14.96s.

    The SVO Mustang tested by the magazines ran low 15 seconds in the 1/4 mile.

    I'd still love to own an 85-1/2 SVO Mustang!
