I was wondering why there have been no results yet. Should be interesting to see what MM&FF get out if it.

 

Typically faster than about 98-99% of drivers. Especially if track conditions are good. So this should give us a darn good idea of potential.

 

They drove them out in CA - not E-town in NJ, where you see most of the really good times. Also, I'm not at all sure they were actually able to get real numbers. We'll see I guess.

Looks like they must have tested them, I have found several pictures and some are taken with a Camaro right next to the Mustang. So my guess is we should have some numbers to look at.

thats almost hard to believe.

 

Quite impressive 395rwhp @ 6,600 / 365 rwtq @ 4,350. Sounds very good too!

Looks like MM&FF tested the '11 GT at a airstrip in CA per Bob so I'll take a stab at the numbers we'll here on 3/29.

My guess.... 12.85 @ 110.5 mph in our less than ideal conditions.

 

If that car really has 395 to the wheels then the game is on.

 

Ok, looks like they will have some numbers. Given that it is on asphalt at an airstrip, I suspect ET will suffer due to lack of traction - perhaps I'll be wrong.

As for the dyno....that is indeed hard to believe. Very hard to believe. *If* that is representative of what a production 5.0 will do, and *if* that is SAE corrected.......wow. Game on would be an understatement.

But I'll believe it when real people have had real cars on real dynos and posted real numbers.

99SS....sounds reasonable. Traction limited - which (contrary to what many believe) can hurt both ET and MPH.

 

Remember edmunds got over 500rwhp on the 2010 GT500 and most folks seem to get around 475ish, so I am going to say the average will be 365-375, still very good. Game on indeed.

 

has chevy officially announced specs on the 2011 camaro lineup? the 2011 mustang lineup sounds quite a threat to the camaro's 2010 specs.

 

Must have been a Mustang Dyno

395hp on the rollers, I bet its more like 430hp. Anyways, does anybody know which SAE testing process was used?

 

I know some people were saying that Ford low-balled the horsepower numbers but it's very hard to believe that the Mustang actually puts out almost as much rwhp as its claimed fwhp. Anyway, dyno numbers can be very misleading. I'd say it was game on from the outset, when Ford began leaking hp numbers.

I'll stick by my opinion, but they did at least state that it was SAE and on a 248.
