Extreme4x4 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Actually, an actual owner dyno'd theirs yesterday, with 95 miles on it. First pull in the heat: 601rwhp 589rwtq. Later best pull, in cooler conditions: 613rwhp 580rwtq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tico Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Great for the those five or six thousand luckyenough to buy a GT500 in the coming year. For the rest of us prospective Mustang buyers anyone have the numbers for the plain old GT? For that matter the V6 numbers would be interesting too.

NickF1011 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 Looks like Ford was spot on or more likely a little conservative! A little???? Those are rear wheel figures. That's well over 700 HP at the crank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen a few stock 5.0 GT's putting down around 380 or so at the wheels, so the 412 HP there looks a bit conservative by most counts as well. Only stock V6 I've seen dynoed put down around 255 rwhp.

Yes, if you factor in a conservative 15% parasitic drag losses at 609rwhp, it's roughly 91hp lost. So ya, you have a 700hp motor from the factory!

GT-Keith Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 This engine makes 711hp at the crank shaft. Can you imagine how impossible it would be to launch this thing on 3.73 final drive gears? 4.10 drag setup w/stock tires, forget about it. At 3.5s to sixty mph, I would love to see Ford source a ZF dual-clutch transmission. I estimate a 3.2s to 60 and low 11s in the quarter with that setup. Slap some extreme summer tires on them and even better.! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstock Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 IIRC, there's a twin-turbo variant coming next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
traxiii Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 IIRC, there's a twin-turbo variant coming next year. Heard that rumor a while ago, it would be interesting to see how it would compare to the '13. I would love to see a EB 5.0L with the twin turbos and direct injection in the '15.

RichardJensen Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 What was the deal on why they didn't go with DI on this one? Made sense at the time, slipped my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edstock Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I thought that rumor was shot down? You could very well be right. Can EB manifolds fit? If so, does an EB 5.0 offer any advantages over mechanical supercharging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
