latest issue of R&T. Mustang beats the GT

Standing mile. The Mustang GT had a higher trap speed than the GT. However, the GT had a quicker ET. The Mustang wasn't exactly stock though. Just a little boost via SC ;) Out of the many cars tested, the C6 Corvette was DEAD LAST in ALL categories!!!!!! LMAO!!!!

A little boost? The Vortech in the 3-valve Mustang GT pumped 16 psi through the water-cooled intercooler! And one suspects that the innards of that 4.6L V8 were beefier than stock, to handle the 575 HP.

Just a smidge.

What's R&T doing testing hot rods? 16 psi, that's almost 2 x atmospheric pressure, effectively turning a 4.6 into a ten liter.

What psi does the Ford GT run?

Just wait until they test a Cobra GT500. Its 5.4L with a twin screw blower is going to deliver unbelievable performance for the money.
