VIDEO: AmericanMuscle 2015 Mustang GT Dyno and Track Results
Fresh off of the truck, we took delivery of a few more 2015 Mustangs to add to our growing fleet of S550's.
- 2015 Mustang GT PP / 50 Years Appearance / Manual / Black
- 2015 Mustang GT PP / Manual / Competition Orange
- 2015 Mustang EcoBoost PP / 50 Years Appearance / Auto / Competition Orange
Of course, we had to do a smokin' burnout, hit the dyno and the track to get our baseline numbers and give you guys the performance enthusiast's opinion of these new S550s!
Stay tuned for a full review and tons of other new videos dropping soon!

Disappointing that since December I've been saying the car would gain weight and the IRS would hop and skip around like crazy. Had a SRT8 challenger with IRS and after nearly a grand in suspension upgrades it still hopped.
The s197 hops too but you can fix it with a set of lca's for $200. Hopefully the s550 will be just as easy to fix. Although you can't easily fix the additional weight it gained lol.

Man. I looked at that suspension, via GIS...
Is it me, or is that *really* complicated in the back? Overly so?
Seems like, if I were doing it, that I'd want to just put the carrier in place, and then put four links from a central point, understanding there's going to be some play in the half shafts, so you design for that.
Then you put in a trailing body link (aka, LCA) to stabilize that setup so it doesn't wheel hop.
Once you get it in spec, you don't need adjustments... unless you're lowering/tracking the thing, of course, but that's nothing to design for.
That mess back there seems... a mess. Yeah.
Kinda dig the front suspension simplicity. If the FRONT can be that spindly and simple...

SCT gets 35 more HP and 46 more lb-ft of torque out of EcoBoost Mustang
The latest we've come across are the numbers for one of the first tuners to beef up the output on the EcoBoost’s turbocharged 2.3-liter engine.
The stats come from the guys at SCT who have teamed up with Bama Performance to see how much more power they could squeeze out of the new Ford four-banger.
Read the rest on the Mustang Source homepage. >>
