d'oh... my car isn't even 4 years old, and it's horribly obsolete...
Car and Driver has the details
the short of it.
2011 GT gets 412HP from 5.0 litres, while the v6 gets the 3.7L 300hp motor derived from the mkt and mks.
damnit I was sorta thinking about ending the car payment cycle, but it's gonna turn into an infinite loop at this rate...

Saw the beast at the Barrett-Jackson auction on SPEED the other night (2010 Daytona 500 pace car, raised $300,000 USD for charity, minus the MSRP)
Man, times like this I get insane ideas in my head and the loudest whispers are going right now "2011 5.0L with autobox & glass roof" :ph34r: :lol:

I gotta be honest, I'm smitten by the HP, but I'm still not sold on the looks... I may just old school it and x-charger extreme the car when it hits this spring.
