Nice improvement Ford.

:icon18: Yeah... the 96-98 GTs were huurrrttting!

That 2011 V6 reported 305 HP is BHP and not at the wheels. The V6 is putting down about 267 RWHP.

5.0L (302 ci) engine:

240 BHP
285 lb tq

At the dyno its rear wheels put down:

210 RWHP
247 RWTQ

As someone described it: The guys at Ford took too much crack when tuning the 94-95 cobra's....it had the worst EEC of any 5.0 Cobra Mustang!

the amount of power American cars get out of a larger displacement engine is dissapointing. only recently is it actually coming up to snuff.

Yep for comparison...

Camaro 6.2 liter for 422 hp - 68.3 hp per liter

2010 Ford 4.6 liter for 315 - 68.4 hp per liter

<new>2011 Ford 5.0 liter for 412 hp - 82.4 hp per liter

370z 3.7 liter for 332 hp - 89.7 hp per liter

Ford has taken a huge step here.

The hp per litre stuff isn't really that big of a deal for big NA V8s. Basically, they don't need to work as hard as an engine like ours to produce big power.

It is good to see Ford step it up and pump out some more power from the factory, though.

Yea but its the upper-end HP still peaking when the torque curve drops off that can save you in a close race to the flag.

Indeed. It is also nice to have a big, flat curve that helps you pull out of corners and really makes the entire rpm range very useable.
