It's hard to beat the sound of a naturally aspirated pony car.
The 2024 model year marks the start of the seventh-generation Ford Mustang, with this particular GT carrying a 5.0-liter V-8 under its hood. The fourth-generation Coyote V-8 gets some updates of its own for S650 duty, including a new dual-intake system, an updated exhaust header, and forged connecting rods. Ford has also fit the V-8 with a new dual-injection setup, as well as a new calibration for 2024. Output is rated at 486 hp and 418 lb-ft of torque, making this the most potent GT model yet.
Despite being unable to wring the car out in seventh gear, the crew still decided to test the output until the speed limiter kicked in. Unsurprisingly, the car produced more power in the correct gear up until the 5600-rpm cut-off. The team believes the car is actually good for around 420 horsepower at the wheels. Luckily, Middleton Ford has a six-speed car gearing up for a dyno run of its own, which has a 1:1 ratio in fourth gear.
