http://www.autoweek.com/article/car-news/2015-Ford-Mustang-horsepower
A bit more than the 2014 and earlier models. almost as much as the Boss 302  We’ve known the new 2015 Ford Mustang was going to be more powerful than the car it replaces since it was revealed late last year, but the Blue Oval has been cagey with the details. Today, the automaker has revealed output information, and it looks good so far. The 5.0-liter V8 is probably what fans are most excited to hear about -- it’s good for 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. That’s a tidy 15 hp and 10 lb-ft increase over the outgoing model, and it’s within spitting distance of the 444-hp Boss 302. Not bad. |

Yeah, and the RT Scat Pack puts out 485hp/475tq, 0-60 in 4sec and low 12's in the quarter for around the same price as a GT premium. (The R/T scat has more features than a base R/T standard like a GT premium does over a base GT.
I think Ford is sandbagging this year knowing the new 6G Camaro is coming very soon. I was hoping to see 450hp/425tq out of the new GT. With its weight gain, the car will have little improvement in its times. Cant wait to see what the new 350 can do. |

Ford will have to step up their game to get Hellcat numbers. Lol... Uh. GT500 with a simple blower swap and done. The SuperSnakes have eclipsed that for years but the price tag of the HellCat makes it hard to beat. HellCat is a damn good deal if it can be had for under 60k. But that is okay. Out going 2011-2014s with Hellion twin turbos throw down 700 plus all day long. So base 2013GT for 33k + hellion kit and supporting mods for another 8-12k. You have a serious beast but not factory supplied. I too am curious to see if Ford goes for brute force or for something more subtle or even sophisticated even if it means less power. Quoted:

The SVT/racing prototype had already been spotted over in Germany so something is coming. What it will be who knows. But it took a few years for the GT500 to follow the introduction of the sn197. The fact that the performance option is already in the works for the new car is a good sign. I cannot wait to see what tuners with usual stuff can find left on the table. The Challenger is an aging chassis/design so for the hot shit ride to finally come along, bout damn time. |

Gains 15hp but gains 87lbs. Pretty much a wash. Hopefully the IRS will actually not be crap this time around.

The irs wasnt complete crap by the time the 03/04 Cobra came out but it was almost pointless with the 99+. The 03/04 at least was a little more durable. Problem was them trying to cram an adapted cobled together system into the chassis that was meant to use the sra and 4 link. That is just a recipe for a bundle of mornful sadness and compromise. Thjs go around it is basically an entirely new car. I dont know if they are even reusing any of the floor pan of the out going sn197. If they didnt, from the initial inception, begin to design a proper IRS then I dont knkw what to say. I have seen the renders of the front/rear suspension. The front sounds like one hell of a design and for mcpherson strut type designs it should be about the best possible option over SRA double A arms with coil overs. The rear geometry I cannot make heads or tails of. Seems to be a lot of crossing loads and strange geometry. I only hope what ever rear they come up with it is able to handle the 550-650hp that will get put to it through blown Coyotes. |

I suppose, the N54 engine is an awesome piece of tech. Way ahead of its time. If they would have dropped the compression a point or so, they could have gotten more than 8psi out of it hohugh. Also, the fact that the Coyote engine is not provisioned for DI would require a new motor design. Probably next generation. With the incredible success of the ecoboost, I cannot fathom why an ecoboost V8 wont be coming down the pipeline eventually. |

You can run about 15-16 lbs of boost on pump gas so it's not limited to 8psi by any means. Ford might make an ecoboost V8 someday but it will probably go into a special vehicle like a low production version of the mustang or something equivalent to the Ford GT. One thing is for sure, as the tech moves forward less cylinders/cubes are needed so a V8 ecoboost might not even be necessary in 5-10 years. |

Ford might make an ecoboost V8 someday but it will probably go into a special vehicle like a low production version of the mustang or something equivalent to the Ford GT. True. The N54 has been known to get up to 19psi with supporting mods and a good tune. The 8 was just stock numbers. Anything is possible with the aftermarket. I have seen some low 12 second Ford Edge Ecoboost with killer tunes at the track. That is a sight to see. The Raptor would be awesome with a V8 Eco. Frankly, if Ford can keep the motor together at 500hp with the V6 ecoboost, I dont see any reason why they would invest in the V8 except for because V8. With the new CAFE standards around the corner too, I hope the project doesnt get shelved. My prediction is the 707hp Hellcat and the possible 750HP GT500 will be the end of the high horsepower number battle. Chevy has already said they wont chase the Hellcat number for the Camaro. They are putting their eggs in the lighter C6 Camaro. The auto industry will probably shift to lighter weight and efficiency. Say a 3200# GT500 with 600hp. It would have the same straight line capabilities as the 664 GT500 @ 3800#'s. The really big dog numbers will become the exclusive territory of the super cars and limited production models like ZR1 and such. 2015/2016 model year could be mirroring 1970/1971 all over again. Imagine if the hellcat were 3400 pounds. It would only need the same 600hp to achieve what it currently needs 700 to push its 4400# tub. |

Yup. The Camaro has been out for 5 model years now and hasnt changed the base V8's hp at all. Still at 426. Nearly 4000#'s is a lot. I was severely disappointed to see the Mustang gain weight. I really thought it was going to shed some pounds like the 15 F150 did. |

Sure the Hellcat has over 700hp but it's not nearly as fast as it should be for a car with that kind of power. |

The more things change, the more they stay the same:
1985 Mustang engines: 5.0 V8 and 2.3 intercooled turbo 2015 Mustang engines: 5.0 V8 and 2.3 intercooled turbo I loved the 2.3L turbo SVO from the mid '80s, I'm sure the 2015 2.3L ecoboost will be a hoot, too. |

just resurrecting a dying thread - a thread that will probably end up costing me money.
The weight increase appears to be mostly from redesigning the rear suspension. The muscle cars of the past were known for brute power, not so much for handling. Of course the Mustang was a pony car, not a muscle car  ..., somewhat different design goal. I have to wonder in the end what will the rides be like. Both in terms of handling and comfort.Of course, asking that question might just prove a single point - I am getting to old. |

Since I have one on order, I have been following this car carefully. I've read a few reports of guys lucky enough to get to ride or even sit in one, and it all sounds great. The Boss from last year put out more HP, but it could not keep up with the new GT due to the redesigned suspension. Apparently it is beyond Ford's customers expectations. I'm patiently checking cotus abut 87 times a day waiting on my VIN, window sticker and scheduled build date. I placed the order May 20th.
The manual cars come with a cast iron 3rd member/center section and the auto's are getting aluminum. Can't wait to see how many auto's start breaking the rearends after mods are done.

You can take your Shelby GT500, hand it over to Shelby American, and drive home from the outfit's facility at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with an 850-hp car that will blaze through the lights on the quarter-mile and then take you for burgers and fries afterwards.

Is the Super Snake street legal?? I thought it was a non street legal drag car??? Quoted:
isnt it similar to the COPO as it has no VIN? That would be the Cobra Jet car... Serialized but not Street Legal... https://www.fordracingparts.com/cobrajet/ https://www.fordracingparts.com/images/CobraJet/2011_CJ_Header_2.jpg The Super Snake is a "Street Legal" monster..
You can take your Shelby GT500, hand it over to Shelby American, and drive home from the outfit's facility at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with an 850-hp car that will blaze through the lights on the quarter-mile and then take you for burgers and fries afterwards.
Yup got them mixed up. I was thinking of the Cobra Jet car. |

I met a guy driving a street legal Cobra Jet last year at Mustang Week. He titled it as a kit car.
