GT500 125.6

BOSS LS to GT500 Time Difference .5 HP Difference 106

The BOSS LS vs ZL1 test showed a 2.5 second difference in the cars. Using the data from above, one would think that the new GT500 with 650 would be another .5 seconds faster. Theoretically the GT500 with 650 vs the ZL1 the ZL1 would still be faster. Once again, I ask you to forget about the ZL1 Camaro and focus only on the Ford BOSS LS, GT500 and GT500 / 650. The limiting factor will be the rear tire contact patch and the geometry of a 3 link. The harder you corner, the harder and faster the inside rear wheel will come up limiting the traction and ability to put down the extra HP. The more you lower a 3 link, the worse the traction issue is because the inside rear wheel will lift sooner (there is less travel).

I am not the world's leading expert on Mustangs. Looking at what is available on the web it appears the rear tire size for all three is 285/35. Increase the HP without increasing the tire contact patch to match the power and the result will be increased slip. It is a formula for diminishing returns.
