You sure you don't have a 2014 GT500? I heard that one is coming with Manly rods and a Johnson crank from the factory, should be good for about 1200 HP, or 1500 once it's broken in.

Re: First actual 2013 GT500 dyno
My GT500 actually dynoed like 904rwhp, so I have about 1000hp to the crank. (Yes I only have less than 10% loss, my car is that awesome) SAE numbers are baloney, I have a random sheet I pulled out to PROVE I have a 1000hp factory freak, not like dyno numbers can be changed by a million different factors or anything.
I then ran it to the track to see if the numbers were legit, I ran a 1/4 mile in -1 second. Yes, I actually went back in time my GT500 it was that fast. No biggie, the car was heat soaked, it was like 150 degree day and raining, so not my best time.

Although it would've been funnier if the dyno sheet were written in crayon.

Wow I was wrong. I guess Ford colluded with the SAE to certify the wrong power numbers for their engine.
Regardless, it is a very powerful and fast car. If only I was a Ford fan, they seem to cater to their enthusiasts better than GM does.

Great baseline numbers. I would probably equate the variety of different RWHP/Tq numbers more to different cars, conditions, miles and dynoes than Ford having underrated the SAE numbers.
That 2014 GT500 looks like a real beast... glad they got the flux capacitor working right.
