love. my. car.

And that's why people ask questions, to learn... Anyway, people say solid rear axles are better for drag racing. So I figured part of it may be due to drive-train loss. But I didn't research it myself and that's why I am asking.

Like 8cd03gro said, the SRA is more efficient at getting the power to wheels than the IRS. The MT-82 manual in the Mustang, with its lighter internals vs the heavier Tremec in the Camaro also plays a role.

Sorry, it is very hard to divulge sarcasm from all of the crappy responses here on certain topics. I was not sure if you are serious.

I think Ford tweaked the factory tune to get the extra horsepower. Anyone know what the torque is now?

It's way more than just the 8HP. Hid standard, Track pkg option with torsen differential, Recaro seat option, 4" lcd screen in the dash. Led lights in front and back. This can push the 2013 into 2012 Boss performance numbers. I am not surprise if the 13Gt is a mid 12 second car.

The 2011 GT has already run 12.44 through an Auto. If they are revising the tune, making it more aggressive, etc. I think it will be a SOLId mid 12 second car, with a few people being able to dip a bit lower in the 12's Stock.

No one Dyno will be the same. Actually, you multiple the crank number by the opposite number that is a loss. 412 X .85 - 350. However, I've NEVER seen a new 5.0 Dyno that low. So, it's possibly less of a drivetrain loss than we've seen. Kinda like how LS1's claimed 330HP or something at the Crank but were putting 330-340 RWHP down?

The point of the question someone asked was if the 5.0 was underrated. It clearly is, seeing as people dyno 360-370 RWHP and yet Ford claims 412 BHP. It's probably more between 430-440 BHP and not 412.

Apparently underestimated by quite a bit.

Seems normal. 03/04 Cobra was rated @ 390 HP from the Factory, but hundreds of people were making 365-375 RWHP stock on various dynos. LS1 was rated at what, 330HP from the Factory, but made that kind of power at the tire.
