How they're going to get it lighter will be interesting. If possible.

ihaveacamaro · 06-09-2011, 03:18 PM

Damn! a 500 hp v8! Chevy is going to have to step it up if Ford does that...

which means more hp pony wars!! I love the times we are living in

(at least pony car-wise lol)

500HP!, Chevy's gonna need to step up their game

I wonder if that 500hp is N/A or Turbo

knowitman · 06-09-2011, 03:21 PM

If these rumors are true, it sounds like the V8 is going to only be reserved for the GT500 or top of the line equivalent.

Cam#7 · 06-09-2011, 03:25 PM

I think Ford should go with two different styles and names; American and European. Have the American "Mustang" and call the European style the "Falcon".

sliverice · 06-09-2011, 03:25 PM

I don't care what hp it has or gets I will never buy a mustang they are just plain ugly.

they also said range topping. That would probably be the GT500 engine and the article comparing it to the 412 HP GT is probably a mistake on their part. Besides if the car is lighter, a 500HP engine could possibly still get the car across the 1/4 mile quicker than the current gen GT500...

HP may drop across the line, but if weight savings make up for that, it doesn't matter now does it?

a 90HP motorcyle can do 0-60 in around 3 seconds. and that's with probably around 50lb/ft of torque too.

I will admit that I will be slightly saddened if cars start showing lower HP numbers much like cars of the late 70's when there was an emissions crunch. But as long as the cars are faster and don't sound like fart cans, I'll get over it, I'm sure.

If they want it to get lighter while keeping up with global safety regulations and adding IRS it's going to have to get pretty small.

PYROLYSIS · 06-09-2011, 03:51 PM

So it's gonna be a $59,000 500hp 65mpg rustang? Good luck.

Methinks ford was only able to squeze 412 bhp out of 5L (82.4 BHP/L) so how are they going to magically jump up to 500 from a 5.4L (92.6 bhp/L) sometimes motor trend is a little off their rocker
