Meet the 2011 Ford Mustang V6, which will drop its 210-hp 4.0L V6 for a new 3.7L V6 engine that uses Ford”s Twin Independent Variable Camshaft Timing (Ti-VCT). The new engine offers a total of 305-hp with a peak torque of 280 lb-ft. That’s just 10-hp less than the top-of-the-line Ford Mustang GT V8, which is also expected to be upgraded for 2011.

Ford says that the Ti-VCT allows the 2011 Mustang to return an estimated 19/30 mpg (city/highway) with a 6-speed automatic and 18/29 with a 6-speed manual.

305-hp and 30 mpg on the highway means that the 2011 Ford Mustang is just one notch better than the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro V6, which produces 304-hp and returns an estimated 29 mpg on the highway.
