Re: mustang ups the ante

yea but look at what ford has done in the pass with boasting about there #'s in hp u get that car on the dyno and i bet ull never see over 220 hp at the wheels. ford always over shoots chevy keeps it honest, and always has. i have a teacher with a dyno and he dyno'd the gt500 and got 452hp at the wheels witch is good but not what the tag says......... 2010 camaro dynod same day 401hp....

Re: mustang ups the ante

when they say cars have 400hp, they do not mean at the wheels....you need to factor in about a 17-20% drivetrain loss for rwhp, or whp....I don't recall the 2010 camaro dynoing 400hp at all...it was in the 3xx, there's a bunch of dyno vids of it on youtube with charts and all...

450hp from a engine rated at 500 at the crank seems pretty good to me. That comes out to be like 530 at the crank assuming a .15 drivetrain loss?

yep, pretty close. the new gt500's are spitting out 540 on the crank, so that's a relatively accurate dyno pull in the mid 400's on the wheels.
