You see, the Mustang GT's newfangled all-aluminum DOHC 5.0-liter V8...it makes some power. A lot of power, actually.
Ford claims it churns out 412 horsepower and 390 pound-feet of torque. While these numbers by themselves don't better those of the Camaro SS, on paper the Mustang's leaner curb weight might be able to put them to better use. Wait a week and we'll tell you all about our driving impressions of the 2011 Mustang.
In the meantime, while other outlets busied themselves doing burnouts, we were putting Ford's claims of power and torque to the test. Yes, for you, the loyal IL reader, we dyno-tested the 2011 Mustang GT.

It's just nice to see Ford under-rate one of their motors. The 5.4 in the F-150s is rediculously over-rated.
It's still a Mustang, but Ford is doing big things with this motor. From what I understand, it's already pretty much build for boost too. I've heard it's built like a tank.
