The new Mustang may not be any faster than the outgoing model. That slight power to weight ratio increase could get offset by the larger brakes and IRS. I'm sure they will add direct injection for the 2016 or 2017 model year. The thing is though that the LT1 is nowhere near its limits. Tune only LT1's have shown a 30RWHP increase so GM could up the power on that engine by another 20HP.
