The horsepower race has gone nuclear: 2013 GT500

It also takes more than HP to get you to 200 mph. So we are looking a a lot in mods to get you there safely

Ford has been known to under rate the hp numbers, so I'm wondering what that 650 hp really translates to.

m4a1mustang · 11-16-2011, 02:20 PM

Probably over 9000.

High 500s to low 600s I would guess.

If i had to guess I would say 590 +/- 10

What would be cool is if somebody put the engine on an engine dyno and then dyno'd it in the car so you could see a just how much you lose in the drivetrain

So is chevy working on boosting the ZR1 camaro HP before it even released?

Doubtful. But supposedly the LS9 is in the works so the next model year ZL1 will probably get a boost in power.

Though the Camaro needs a reduction in weight more than a boost in power.

Wonder if this now means we are only a few years away from 700 stock hp from Chevy or Ford? It's gotta stop sometime, doesn't it?

I'm going to say doubtful.

20-30 years from now we will all be looking back on these days and 650hp-ish will probably be the pinnacle of power for the Mustang. We aren't too far away from the EPA coming in and forcing us all into pussified hybrids.

sort of want....

Lemers · 11-16-2011, 07:42 PM

Everything needs more power. I guess chevy has gone too far for this model year to change now, and I'm sure they read the spy info too. But everyone was thinking 600 not 650. But I wouldn't doubt if they move up plans to boost the camaro sooner as opposed to later.

m4a1mustang · 11-16-2011, 07:43 PM

They have to be careful, though, because they can't have the ZL1 encroaching too far into Z06/ZR1 territory.

Ford, on the other hand, doesn't have anything above the GT500 it needs to worry about... for now.
