I'm not sure how reliable this is

Horsepower numbers????
- Thread starter rrg9946
- Start date
This wouldn't surprise me if true. The numbers sound about right although I figured the GT's hp would be closer to 450 and the ecoboost closer to 330. Nothing FBO can't solve for either. Kinda funny they decreased the v6's power to make the ecoboost look slightly ahead of the base model.
That seems like a legit link.
If true, I'm surprised that the HP is less than the Boss as Ford promised it would run like one and it has the upgraded internals. Maybe the missing Boss intake and higher redline?
Good to finally see some #'s; hopefully the weight is a better surprise?

I already ordered mine. No regrets, but I will be disappointed if these numbers are accurate. Although reality will be when it is put on the dyno to see if they were under rated. I also know what mechanical potential this engine will have.

435 hp and heavier..
No thanks.
No thanks.
Better wait for the next refresh.....please fix front, and give the coyote D.I.
:mj:this is a dam shame.the 50th year should have had at least 450hp.Now i dont believe it will beat a BOSS 302 like they said because the BOSS 302 had closer to 475hp.
I dont want DI, not yet. Its awesome until you run out of fuel, because then thats it, you're just out... no swapping in larger injectors. We had to run external injectors and an external controller, splice into the low pressure fuel line, tap the MAF wire, and tune two fuel sources when tuning. Its a major pain in the ass, and while i agree it is the future, and has SEVERAL perks, its just not something i am ready to deal with yet.
Also, as far as the Boss having 475... most dyno 380 to 390 stock, which assuming a 15% drivetrain loss puts it right at 450 hp. Also, Ford said this new car would outrun a Boss around a track, and just look at what the 1Le camaro did with 20 less horsepower than the Boss 302 ... This new car will have a MUCH broader torque curve with the improved heads and cams, as well as more horsepower. I fail to see why everyone is unhappy unless you simply fail to see the progress being made here.

Well said. I agree totally. Although the initial number may look small, the potential is great.
+2015!
Well said. I cannot even tell you how anxious I am to see what these cars do, with an auto - tune, intake and drag radials. They are going to fly!
They will also be excellent in the corners, no doubt about it.
Hopefully when these cars hit the dyno we will see an underrated figure much like the bmw m4 is showing, at least I'm that's the case. On paper I'm not seeing anything that impresses me especially for its 50th anniversary. I surely hope that it's performance surpasses it's written specs.
14 GT, 420 HP / 390 TQ, 15 GT 430 HP / 400 TQ. Boss is 444 HP, right?? I think many of us we're expecting around 450 HP. Maybe the up-coming. Ford Racing Performance Pack will get it there??? Fail to see progress?? We'll see, especially how buttoned down the IRS is. Coming from a modded Terminator [Thank-you AC 427 for your IRS kit], it can be done....
So 3 months ago when I said I thought the 15 would have 430-435hp some of you guys thought I was being a snob Boss owner being butt hurt about the new car.
I wanted the car to be lighter and have 475hp too, but that's not reality.

Read the Autoblog article again, it's been updated with weights of the different cars. Less than 100 lbs more for a manual GT than 2014? Not too shabby for the IRS and all the other crap they added. HP can't go up constantly, I'm sure the car will have more than enough power.
For your reading pleasure.

Nice!
Ugly front end, 87lbs heavier, only a 15 hp increase. Every new bit of news I hear about this new Mustang has been disappointing. Too bad for ford that the Coyote engine didn't come out on the 50th anniversery, since that seems to be the biggest improvement for the GT in the last 15 or so years.
