WHY IT MATTERS.
An all-aluminum, dual-overhead-cam V6 gives the S197 entry model a substantial new powertrain. It is not the 4.0L engine used in earlier S197 cars.
The 2005 car launched with a 4.0L V6 or three-valve 4.6L V8. The 2010 body update preceded the 2011 engine changes. The 2012–13 Boss 302 focused on road-course performance, and the 2013–14 GT500 used a supercharged 5.8L V8.
BUYING & SERVICING.
Match service information to the engine and model year. Inspect clutch and gearbox operation, rear-axle noise, water entry, and modifications. Three-valve and Coyote engines have different procedures and service concerns.
Check the exact vehicle's identification, records, and fitted equipment. Modified engines, transmissions, and brake packages require their own applicable documentation.
