MT calculated it to flywheels horsepower... And they say 5th is too long to dyno so yes they are running it in 4th but thats hardly an arguement since running it in 4th which is a 1.32:1 ratio would actually read lower numbers than a dyno in 5th which is the 1:1 ratio... I wouldnt call them the retarded ones

This car will have impressive stock/bolt-on power. However it's still gonna take either a blower, nitrous or deep pockets to make serious power (450+rwhp) with these cars.

this new mustang is very impressive.
I am interested to see how much bolt on's help it out.
also interested to see what happens when you add boost.
Its still only a 5.0 - I wish they would have gone larger in displacement.

But stock for stock, I honestly believe that the Ford has out performed the Camaro...

very impressive to me......I would say with a set of cams and full bolt ons and a good tune they will get 420-450rwhp out of them and if you did a 4:10 gear that would be a stout car, especially N/A.

Honestly, there is no replacement for displacement. Stock for stock, the Mustang GT will probably outperform the LS3 Camaro, BUT I believe that is the LS3 that will gain more, with simple boltons, and out power it's Ford counterpart... Also, it's a lot cheaper to cam an LS3 than a Quad Cam modular engine...
