This is not a guess, it is a brief listing of what we will get as a worst case scenario for the 2011 Mustang GT. If I were to go beyond what I absolutely know and into what I expect....look for 425hp, at least 375lb-ft of torque and a real world curb weight starting extremely close to 3600lb. Gospel? No. Likely? More than a little.
In the end I expect the Mustang GT and Camaro SS to be too close to call on hp, with the Ford carrying a noticeable weight advantage and the Chevy holding a noticeable advantage in torque. Who will be faster? That is difficult to say. Assuming traction isn't an issue for the Chevy my guess is that this is going to be d*** close. We wont know until they throw down on the track.
Like I said, you can believe it or not...but that wont change what is coming.
