A 20 HP bump is not going to get Mustang fans onboard - esp. if many of them don't like the exterior changes. Not to mention Ford will most probably bump the prices up as well. So why wouldn't I just buy a 2017 off the lot at a discounted price and then add a supercharger (with warranty) if I am going to spend that kind of money?
The 2014 S197 GT had 420hp
The 2015 S550 GT had 435hp

A mere 15hp gain.......and there was even more uproar about the change in looks between the two generations ;)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Ford will want to leave something on the table for the Coyote in S650, so I'm betting a nice safe 460hp for now, and maybe up to 485hp for the '21MY GT.

Or.....and here's where TT wishes upon a star.......they give the '18MY GT 475hp and then launch a Mach 1 in '19 with a 5.2 CPC V8 at 500hp......and then that becomes the stock GT motor for '21MY :ford:

Who knows, by 2020 or 21 it may all be hybrids...especially if OPEC gets their collective act together.

Purchase a 2018 - Only if Ford makes these changes

Front Fascia looks like this - with larger inlet bottom - honeycomb and they give me 475-490 HP. Those are my demands Ford ! :ford: ;)

Sorry I think its going to be closer to ...

480 HP 2018 Ford Mustang GT :cheers:
Look at where the MPH needle is pointing to - 80 degrees E 8000 RPM Tach
4 Gear + 80 degrees E = 480 HP or more ! :cheers:

Just my take on it. Does not make sense to get just 455 HP out of GT350 intake, Throttle body, higher compression, direct injection.

I still think the numbers are coincidence. I thought they were just trying to show the cool blue effect behind the needles, so it needed to be a non-idle rpm/speed.

Also, the redline is probably different on the second image since it could be the ecoboost in that image, but GT in first. Current ecoboost has an approx. 6500 redline.

I agree that if all they get is 455 HP out of it, it's not even worth talking about.

I agree it is all over the instrument cluster.

if you look at the oil guage

L= load H= Horse power

then you get on the L side 100+300= 400

H side you have 140+340= 480

so safe to say 480hp and possibly 400tq?

Might be as simple as a manual tranny will be in 4th gear at 55 mph while the new A10 will be in 7th gear at 55 mph.

OR!!! It could mean the Ecoboost will have 455 HP while the GT will have 755! Talk about killing the Camaro....

@ 755 HP I would sign up in a heart beat !

Give me 480-500 HP and I still would be happy.
