Isn't the engine in the GT500 a hand build "low volume" produced engine? I would be interested to see if Ford corrects to SAE J1995 or SAE J1349. I know GM certifies to J1349 which is "net" engine power. I would bet that Ford corrects to J1995 which is "gross" engine power. That would account for a few percent of the difference between the two. I keep hearing people say "GM under-rates their engines" and I think it's just they rate them as net and not gross. I am very interested to see how this Mustang performs. Love them or hate them, you got to hand it to Ford. It took some stones to go for broke like this. Hope that thing stays together...
