What did they get on the dyno with the 6 speed manual? To lazy to watch. 18 freaking minutes long.
437 hp
401 tq at 11:09 they show the graph.

Ok that Dyno is definitely running a little hot. No way it's making 437 RWHP. I'd say the LMR #'s are probably closer reality. The only way 437 RWHP is legit is if this thing traps at 118-119 MPH as is.
The Chevys trap 118 with their output numbers. I’d say those dyno numbers are fine.

It makes sense, auto vs manual.
These cars are underrated for sure, making closer to 500 crank

Great Video. The car really sounds awesome, Ford did an awesome job with the active exhaust. Hopefully reviews which compare 2015 and 2018 GTs more closely will come up soon :headbang:

Using a conservative 10% thats 480 horsepower! I called it! I said it would make no less than 475 horsepower. I bet the S650 will have the same engine only it'll be rated at 475 instead of 460 horsepower. Will be interesting to see how it responds to bolt-ons.

These companies never seem to say anything bad about new Mustangs.

They can’t…it would destroy their customer base.

And yes, those dyno numbers are inflated. With a similar trap speed to the Camaro SS, a similar power to weight ratio can be assumed....and that puts the GT right around 415RWHP. An extra 22 HP would show a significant trap speed increase over the camaro...which (so far) is not the case.

I hate all of these doctored dynos that LMR & AM put out. Just post the raw Dynojets file and list the correction factor.

AM's Dyno is also pulled short since they probably should have done the run in a lower gear to avoid the top speed governor. HP was still increasing and they still had 700rpm more to go. I'll hold jusgement until we see a raw, not-doctored Dynojet pull.
