I was just looking at the Mustang site on the Ford page and in the Build & price your own GT Convertible it says in Bold letters "260 horses make driving a breeze." ? :shock: What happened to 300hp for the GT? Has something changed or please tell me that it's just a typo on some Ford web site guys part. :dunno:

Website screwup. That's the number from the 04 GT.

Check the ordering guide, still says 300.

jcopin 8/24/05 04:16 PM

someone at ford prolly just cut and paste from the 04 =p

BLAKE 8/24/05 04:19 PM

Another loophole: That's pretty much what they're dynoing at. :dunno:

Either a typo, 04 info, or RWHP. They're not downgrading the engine, I'm sure of that.

They may be refering to the RWD HP and not the Engine HP. When power is transfered to the Rear Wheels, some of it is lost. Thus they are claiming that the car has 260 RWD HP.

That's probably all it is, just a cut and paste screwup. I'd be surprised if Ford would post the real at the rear wheels HP if it is only 260HP after saying in all the literature that they have 300HP. If they've noticed it yet somebody at Ford is probably getting yelled at. It'll be interesting to see how long that stays on the site.

They had some left over 2v engines from 04..and decided to throw them in the verts and hoped no one would notice ;)
