268hp for a v6?!?! Christ, what has this world come to, the old HCI beasts like my car pull 270-300rwhp and idle loud and get bad mileage. Technology is great, but kinda bad for the mustang modding enthusiast...

Nope. Here's a direct quote from a friend of mine on another board.
In case you're questioning his expertise... he's the #1 LS1 tuner in AZ, has an 800+rwhp 9 second street-driven Camaro that he built/tuned, a 600 rwhp daily driver GTO that he built/tuned, and a 380rwhp GM truck daily driver that he built/tuned.

not going to lie, the power curve does look bad, it takes to 4k before anything starts happening, most cammed cars start from 2.5k-3k and keep going...

6.1L vs 5.0L, Ford Modular=435hp est at crank, 6.1L Pushrod chevy=426hp at crank.... Yes the ford modular is a terrible engine /end sarcasm. When will you just accept the fact that the modular has come a LONG ways from the crappy NPI of 1996?Paul said:
Peak power numbers don't get me all excited.
Funny how you're quoting "estimated crank horsepower" for the Ford and "advertised horsepower" for the Chevy. I'm going to say the Chevy has "5,000 estimated crank horsepowers." LMFAO.
I think I alluded to that when I said:
...or did you miss that part?

Didn't know you said the same thing I did 
. But I understand the power curve isn't the greatest, I said that already, I would rather have my power way before I'm redlining, but to constantly bash the Modular is stupid, ford has proven that the engine is good, and if 412hp out of a 5.0L that doesn't idle rough and has good street manners, I would say that is one hell of an engine. Say my car *does* pull 300rwhp(Not likely) I still have a car with less HP and less driveability than a 2011 mustang gt. I still like my car and won't get rid of it, but to bash the new engine is stupid...

hmmm to remind people I find the new ford line up impressive, has any 1 read this months issue of mm&ff they ran Those Roush Mustangs are no joke. In the latest issue of MM&FF, they ran an impressive 11.4 @ 125 mph in the 1/4 in a bonestock Stage 3,and this is last year 2010 of the 4.6 3 valve, now imagine what the new 2011+supercharged 5.0 roush and saleens will run so I would say the power and times of reg gt is pretty badass for reg run of the mill $29k+gt I think people are forgetting this,they like to compare it to shelbys and vettes and lsx 6.0 and 7.0 liters, dont forget its making 03-04 supercharged horsepower now and more power then a gm 5.7 liter and same or more power then a chevy 6.0 and 5.7 6.1 hemi people are overlooking this a lil to much...
