Ford is set to announce big changes to the 2011 Mustang at the LA Auto Show in just a few weeks time, but thank to someone with access to the company's ordering system, a few details have already slipped out.

Among the details include news that the California Special will return. There will also be an SVT package with 19-inch wheels, an RR spoiler with gurney flap, stripe delete and a 3.73 limited slip rear end. Other details are scarce, but there was a listing for the GT500 Convertible, that included a supercharged 5.4-liter V8 engine. That would mean some sort of EcoBoost V8 is out, but it still leaves open the possibility that the V8 will have an aluminum block, which will help the GT500 lose a bunch of weight where it needs to most.

As for the Mustang GT, it will get a six-speed automatic transmission – although that may still be optional.

Ordering for the new 2011 models will begin on January 18th, but we should know more about the 2011 Mustang revisions once the car's debut at the LA Auto Show on December 2nd.

I hope we have some members that will attend this show with their digital camera.

My plan is to drive the heck out of my 2008 and then in 2012 get the Boss special edition in grabber orange. The aluminum engine should have the bugs worked out by then. Of course Ford should come to their senses and fix the rear end style by then.

Does the California Special mean a 10% surcharge? :)

Just hope he 2012 version doesn't turn out to be the next Obama project to "fix" by neutering it down to 3 cylinders to save on oil costs...

Seriously what's going on at Capitol Hill! Detriot is far easier to predict!

You know what? That rear end would keep me from buying it. It's the #1 reason why I bought an '09 GT 500 over the '10.

There is a long time remaining in this event... But i assure you that i will possibly be there to have a snapshots of this event...
