2011 Ford Mustang GT – click above to watch the video

Let’s just call today – December 28, 2009 – Mustang 5.0 Day and be done with it, okay? We’ve seen lots of pictures and even more information about the 2011 Ford Mustang GT and it’s bad to its baffled sump 5.0-liter 32-valve V8. But that’s just a bunch of static information. The kids today, they demand action! After all, what good are “teh Internets” without video? Especially Mustang 5.0 video?

That’s precisely what the good folks at Ford have provided for our consumption/enjoyment. Warning: this is not Top Gear. The video you are about to watch is typical OEM B-roll. Meaning no tires will be smoked, no apexes clipped, no music will be thumped. All you’ll see is the new 2011 Mustang GT driving around. And then parked. So while it’s not the most exciting video in the history of the world, it is the very first of the new Mustang strutting its stuff.

Now, as a bonus, we’re also throwing in some footage of the new 5.0 V8 on a dynometer. We already know the power ratings (412 horsepower @ 6,500 RPM, 390 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM), but in the video, we get to see the motor race almost all the way up to its 7,000 RPM redline. And, because we are who we are, we’re tossing in one more bonus video to make you smile. Hey, it’s the holidays. So, make the jump and watch ‘em.
