Especially if the HP and TQ curves are not flat and peak way up over 6K RPMs. They claim 25MPG, so the stock gearing may not be there.
I bet that we're going to end up with a car that magazine A will test 0.1 to 0.2 seconds faster than a stock SS and magazine B will test 0.1 to 0.2 seconds slower than a stock SS. Ford is likely to produce advertising numbers 0.1 seconds faster then the SS advertised # as well with (of course) no way to verify it.
I also predict the mustang will have problems with wheelspin in stock form.
