While many other publications busied themselves doing burnout in the 2011 Ford Mustang GT, the geeky folks at Inside Line <\/em>decided to see just how much horsepower the new 5.0L V8 is providing the rear-wheels.<\/p>\n

Inside Line’s findings<\/em>:<\/p>\n

\n

With 250 lb-ft on tap at 2,000 rpm, torque starts out pretty strong. It then builds linearly and remains above 350 lb-ft from 4,150 to 5,500 rpm before tapering gently to the 6,850-rpm fuel cut. Peak numbers are 365 lb-ft of torque at 4,350 rpm and 395 hp at 6,600 rpm. All of these at-the-wheels figures were obtained in 4th gear on a Dynojet 248 chassis dyno and include a 3% SAE weather correction factor.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

They say that the driveline loss for a solid axle-equipped car like the Mustang is typically 11-13 percent so we should have expected to see about 358-367 rear-wheel-horsepower from the 2011 Mustang GT..<\/p>\n

The question now is, is Ford being conservative with its\u00a0412-hp flywheel rating – we definitely think so.<\/p>\n
