How much horsepower does a 5.0 Mustang have?
My mom had a Mustang 5.0 when I was growing up, and she always bragged about how much power it had. She’s even trying to tell me it had more horsepower than my new 2022 GT. Is she right? How powerful is a 5.0 Mustang?

We’d never condone arguing with your parents, but unfortunately in this case, no, your mom is not right. Drivers in the 80s and 90s were pretty impressed by how much horsepower the 5.0 Mustang had, but it was nothing compared to today’s models.
Your Mom’s Mustang returned a fairly impressive 205 horsepower. But that’s nothing next to your
GT’s
450 ponies, and those who splurge on the Mach 1 are treated to an additional 20 horses for a herd of 470.Even at “only” 450 horsepower, your GT is going to give you a lot of temptation to step on the gas. Make sure you’re covered with quality
