I still haven't seen any mag reviews of the new HP bump. I think it's worth dragging out the rustang and the genesis for a rematch.
Its only 11 hp more than the 2010s or 2011s. It should be worth roughly a 1/10th of a second in the 1/4, and may not even show up in the 0-60. Not really worth the trouble of a retest by itself. Besides, the concerns usually weren't about the power of the engine. More about the plastics in the interior, the lack of visibility, and the excess weight of the car as a whole. Without addressing those other areas, its not going to rate any higher against the Mustang or the Genesis
