The New Mustang is Here!

After talking about it for years, the new Mustang is finally here. Time will tell whether the world has changed too much for it to be relevant. For horsepower junkies, it seems like there's lots of horsepower now in the GT (300), but there's also room for growth during the model run. Consider this: This Mustang uses just a 3-valve head - a bump up to 4 valves would probably raise horsepower about 15%. This one is tuned for regular unleaded. There is no variable valve timing. This one is normally aspirated (not turbocharged or supercharged.) Heck, you could put 200 more horsepower in this sucker. Why would you need it? The car already goes 0-60 in 5.3 seconds.
