Official: 2018 Mustang GT Has 460HP, 0-60MPH in Under 4.0 Secs; EcoBoost Sub 5-Secs

Hoping they made some improvements to the EB engines. Adding TQ otherwise sounds dangerous.

Like everything about the new car but the nose. Someone comes out with a better front bumper and I am in.

Probably based on the RS motor

Sorry I missed that. I must have been out driving. :ford:

For sale: 2015-17 mustang. Pretty face, slow, perfect for your grandma!

(Sorry current owners, you had it coming! )

I'd hardly call a 25HP bump anything worthy of regretting what you already own. I see these probably dynoing around 390-395 for the manuals. The transmissions are probably the bigger upgrades and might change the way the power feels. A current GT with just a tune is probably about what the 18 will feel like off the lot but just not as aggressive because of OEM tuning..

This is amazing news but it's still heavier than the Camaro. The performance gains is offset by its weight unfortunately.

The R35-gen GTR always had a dual-clutch transmission. It's been updated pretty much every year however.

See?

That's why I used IIRC.......give myself a way out when I'm wrong.

Although in my defense, it was Mr. Jeremy Clarkson that gave me the wrong impression on the GTRs transmission.

I was preparing to be underwhelmed but I gotta hand it to Ford, that 0-60 time is amazing! :clap2::clap2:

Congrats on the new ride Matt. Just watched the video.

Ford definitely upped their game, which is good to see. I'm surprised they managed these times with moderate torque increase. I'm guessing the manual will be 4.1 0-60...hopefully.

This is like 2014 all over again, the excitement is real and I'm not even getting a '18.

Lol.....wut?

They're roughly the same. The Camaro was heavier for a long time, and then the Mustang got heavier and the Camaro got lighter, to where they're basically the same weight.

Pretty impressive. Lets not forget that the camaro has a 10 speed too.

 

[NoVaGT]

I wonder if these power numbers are on 93 octane again?

Of course they are.

What do you mean, the MY18 0-60 time is as quick as the Camaro, and the current mustang is less than 100 lbs heavier.

 

[millhouse]

Of course they are.

He bigger question is, does the MY18 take 87 octane at all?

Not the SS...

GT350R does 0 to 60 in 3.9 with a quart mile of 12.2. If the new GT can match it with only 460 hp then I'm impressed with the 10 speed auto.

 

[Zimm]

This is awesome news. Very impressed with the 0-60 time. Now if only I could get over that fugly new front end....
