Video: 2011 Ford Mustang GT on the dyno



The 2011 Ford Mustang not only brings back the legendary 5.0 moniker, it brings the Mustang back into the heated pony car power race. Rated at 412 hp, there is not doubt the new motor is stout. But that won't and did not stop Inside Line from putting one on the dyno to see how accurate that number is.

After a few pulls, the car managed 395 hp and 365 lb-ft of torque at the wheels. This translates to a better than advertised 446 hp at the crank! Producing that kind of number makes one wonder why Ford would rate the car at 412 hp, slotting it below the Camaro SS. Regardless of the reason, check out the video to witness the new 5.0 in action.
