Hey, people wouldn't listen to me, I said it was coming back. I too work at a Ford dealer, how come they didn't tell you about it? We got it confirmed back in October by the service managers. As for price, they have told me so far it should be "similar" in price to the 2010 GT, so take that for what its worth. I was also told of a 2.0L turbo-charged four banger, they have yet to annouce that one yet but is suppose to be the base engine for the new Explorers :).

EVERYONE saw it on the internet, we just didn't know anything. I work at Bennett Dunlop Ford in Regina and they told us in like November the details of it and the official news that it's going in the Mustang and F-150. I believe it will be tuned a little different for the truck though.

I'm only 17, I can't swing the payments and I also need a newer daily driver for winter/every day, my explorer is rusting out, so I'm looking at 05+ escapes. My brother with the 08' GT/CS might trade his stang in now for a 2011 GT/CS grabber blue seeing as how ford announced it at the detriot auto show. here is what chris was referring too:

The V8 was confirmed to the employees at the Ford dealer I am doing a work study at last month. They said that the "coyote" 5.0L with 400hp WILL be in the 2012 GT for sure, and might make the 2011 year. If Ford has done this now, I can almost guarantee the 5.0L will be back for 2011...

Yes its a 5.0 liter engine, but its not "The 5.0" OHV with pushrods. its a OVC engine. Still pretty impressive though, the power they are getting out of it. But i would love to see a 6.2 liter option. :evil: And muscle mustangs and fast fords wrote about/leaked it about i year ago i want to say.

Parts/vehicle pick up and delivery, basically a gopher. It's a start, They are suppose to start me after high school doing oil changes, then tech. school then a certified technician... Im hoping. But the managers like me and my one supervisor told me I'm getting a lot of compliments on my work so I must be doing good there :).

Lmao no, just that I apparently have a "good" attitude and a willingness to work, and do more than what is asked of me is what I was told.
