We hear there's a hood scoop coming for the GTO next year and rumor has it that '05 Mustangs are making 290-295 rwhp from their three-valve 4.6s in clandestine testing.

Good luck to Pontiac, but on this day the Ford was the top dog.

Ok, but you know that a dynojet is not going to read 40whp higher than a Mustang Dyno.

I would think it should pull about 280 on a dynojet. Which would make sense seeing how the automatic ran a 13.6.

Read this month's Motor Trend, the fucking AUTO GT puts down 267rwhp and 283rwtq. Great job Ford. The 5 speed auto GT runs the 1/4 in the 13.4-13.5 range and the 5 speed manual runs actually slower due to gear ratios at 13.6-13.7 range trapping around 100 in both. 0-60 in both is less than 5 seconds as well.
