If it's a vert, then that might explain his higher numbers. 4,000 for the coupe is what is used for the Mustang Dyno. Yes, your coupe weighs in at 3,900 to 4,000. The Mustage Dyno applies force on the drum to simulate the weight of the car so you get a more real world HP number. The HP value you get is what the HP would be pushing 4,000 lbs on the road. I'm simplifying this, but that's pretty much the way the Mustang represents RWHP numbers. So, if you use a lighter weight for the car your numbers would look higher. A vert would be somewhere around 4,300 lbs I think?
