6,200 473.11 400.78 9.57 12.67

As you can see, the ’10 GT500 makes pretty big steam with less than 10 pounds of boost. We suspect with better weather conditions, these numbers might be 10-15 horsepower higher, which would put this car oh so close to 500 rwhp off the dealer lot!

Of course, we didn't just make one pull and go home. We might have tried to see what Ford left on the table in this newly optimized package, but you'll have to check out an upcoming issue of the magazine to see what can be easily gained on these cars...
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The one they did on top gear dynod at something like 459hp to the wheels and then Richard Hammond said the car wasnt legit. These clowns are forgetting there is a difference between crank and wheel hp. I was embarrassed for them when I heard that
