Finally 6G Mustang HP/TQ!
Premium fuel and 30mpg is still cheaper than premium and 20mph

so far none of the EB vehicles have required premium... but if you want the maximum HP, the car will automatically adapt of the higher octane... doubt the EB Mustang require premium...

Not bad. I think GM is going to do better than that, especially if the SS gets a engine upgrade. I'm drooling at the idea of Ford or GM introducing twin turbos, which is probably a ways off.

Everyone seems to be confusing the 93 octane "rating" used on the certification. If I read it correctly myself the 93oct is the RON measure. Fuel at the pump is (RON+MON)/2. MON typically ends up about 8 or 9 pts below RON. So, the fuel used to certify the numbers for the 2015 Mustang is most likely 88 or 89 and not 93.

Here is what the new LT1 is doing BONE STOCK with the only mod being a tune on PUMP GAS. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-t...yno-tuned.html And just so show that its not a fluke. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c7-t...ome-gains.html Anyway, you COMPLETELY missed my point. I was not trying to show what a modded car could do. I was trying to show that GM could EASILY up the power on the LT1 from 460HP to about 480HP if they wanted to. GM usually ups the power on their Vette engines after around 3 model years. Ford Fans are hoping and praying that a DI Coyote comes to compete with the LT1 but what they should realize is that the LT1 can gain more power also. It would not make sense to do all that R&D, testing, and mfging on the current 5.0 to just lose a ton of money on it and make a DI 5.0 for 2016. I wouldn't expect a DI Coyote until at least the 2017 model year and even then you would think that they would lose money on the old engine. The Ford Fan boi predictions on the new 5.0 engine are laughable. I saw many 450-480HP predictions. I kept telling them it would not make any more power than a BOSS engine since that was pretty much what it was with a more restrictive intake manifold. Ford probably could have made 450 peak HP and 385 peak torque with this new engine with a different intake manifold but that would have made for a lazy car since the car is gaining more rotational weight and weight in general.

AED is not the Best Mustang tuner. My money would be on Jon Lund. Most people get the most out of a tune by going from 87 to 93 octane.

Based on this power to weight, I still see the new Mustang as just catching up to the Gen5 Camaro for ride and handling, then adding an updated engine. The Gen6 should have no problem unless GM gets silly with not controlling weight. GM could just release a Gen5 with the LT1 and a standard 3.91 rear end.
