http://wot.motortrend.com/1407_revealed_2015_ford_mustang_gt_makes_435_hp_400_lb_ft_of_torque.html
So, the 2015 numbers are official. GT is 435/400, Ecoboost is 310/320, V6 "down" to 300/280 (can't have the base engine too close to the $$$$ 4-banger, especially when the V6 version weighs LESS than the 4 cylinder!) Take it to the bank, the V6 is identical to the current one, and if it really is down 5HP from 2014, a tune will fix that.
But here is the real disappointment - they are all HEAVIER than the 2014! Holy crap, are you telling me they couldn't figure out a way to drop a few pounds? The GT is almost 100lb HEAVIER than the 2014.
The Porkstang is going to get killed by the 2016 Camaro, which will have the 455HP LT1 from the Corvette and which is rumored to be dropping 200lb, which would put it under the Mustang in weight.
Thank God I have the Boss.
