In the video Justin says the baseline was 437 RWHP. Does that sound about right? Only 5% drivetrain loss or is Ford sandbagging the 2018??

What does it take to pull 500RWHP out of a 2018 Mustang GT?

Oh, no denying that. I feel like the stock A10 with 3.55's would torch my tuned 16' all day. From a 60 hit, it is game over with rpms dropping 1000 with each shift keeping the coyote up in the revs where it shines.
Brad doesn't need more power.....hell, he doesn't even drive his car as it is. 20k mile MG sitting in his garage begging to be driven!
Most folks are saying the 18s are making about 490 crank.
Tons of them dyno’ing 420 or better baun stock.
And im over here with 325 to the tire with a built 4.6 with everything but cams. Shooting for numbers just a little higher with a blower than what the 18 5.0 makes with bolt ons.
smaller engine, 700rpm lower redline, 2.2 points less compression, terrible heads for n/a (FI makes a good band-aid)...makes sense.
making north of 400whp with a 4v 4.6 is possible, just takes time and money.
Lol this is exactly why I have a box of Gen2 Coyote swap parts coming in the mail.And im over here with 325 to the tire with a built 4.6 with everything but cams. Shooting for numbers just a little higher with a blower than what the 18 5.0 makes with bolt ons.
Just need to decide on getting a new crate engine or save some money and get a salvage yard motor. Though it looks like most salvage yards are wanting damn close to the crate engines MSRP.
great achievement, but WAY too much money for the HP. Not only will that setup cost you $40-$50k but it will lose $20k in depreciation. I’m over here with 600 to the tire, zero car payment, and my cobra won’t lose money towards depreciation. It all depends on what’s important to you. Go get the 7 year loan and enjoy I suppose

Time to coyote swap the cobra
I love the idea of a coyote swap but does it really make sense unless you just want something different. With FI you can go extremely fast with the 4.6 it just takes money. I would just sell the terminator for a s197/s550 if thats what you want.
That makes a pretty big difference. Looks a lot better imo

Lower it and add that chin spoiler and it will totally transform the looks. Looks good in that pic. I must admit looking at a few 18's at the dealerships i didn't care for the looks but the performance is undeniable.
It is alot of money for a Mustang 5.0 but its the sign of the times now, the norm if you will.
Once Ford pulls the car line, the focus will be about the only Ford product less than $40K.
It all about profit margin now.
A nice comparison would be the new front end vs. old front end in which both cars had lowering springs and fatter tires. Those look like aftermarket wheels on the previous model.....which looks great.
And there is my answer, ha.
FYI, I just paid roughly 31k for my 18' so you don't have to get a loaded out car for the performance.
Hoping to have the car complete in the next two weeks, as the Cervini parts on in production. Wheels/tires/coilovers are going on this week.
Lamest post of the whole thread. Congrats!
You’re right tho... that TERMI trunk space is unmatched and totally paved the way for muscle cars of the future!
That is a good deal! & Good to know you can still get a 5.0 at a good price.
Is it the new A10 or Manual?
That drivetrain + more attractive body style = heaven
That drivetrain + that front end = Ford Camaro
That drivetrain + that front end = Ford Camaro
Yeah, does sound like a great deal indeed. I had a price stigma ingrained in me that the GT's were 40's an up for some reason, ha.
