Mustang GT HP numbers

[Wildcat]

I was reading through a Motor Trend article on the different reveals and noticed this little bit of info (obviously unconfirmed) in the section on the Venice Beach appearance:

While Ford was still tight-lipped on power output, a rep with a close relationship with the brand told me that the 5.0-liter V-8 will produce between 440-450-hp. Ford's keeping tight-lipped because it wants to avoid over-promising and under-delivering, as it did with the 1999 Mustang SVT Cobra.

Obviously not earth shattering since most people here were expecting around those numbers.

The rest of the article has some nice photos and recaps of the events.

I would guess closer to the bottom of that range. The 2015 will sell on design alone. We're all expecting the real power increase to come with DI perhaps in 2016 or 17. The more margin of improvement the better the marketing. They'll leave themselves room for improvement when the design becomes a little more dated.
