New to group - quick question
Hello:
I have lurked for a while. I have finally realized my dream of driving a Mustang! I bought a 1999 GT convertible 5 spd. Bone stock and beautiful. I absolutely LOVE this car. I'll post some pics and details soon, but first a quick question. I am looking for some stats on engine performance, specifically horsepower and torque output at a given RPM. I have done a few searches, but can't seem to find what I am looking for. The format I am looking for is like this (I guessed at the numbers): RPM Torque (Lb-Ft) Power (HP) 0 0 0 500 0 0 1000 0 0 1500 0 0 2000 282 3 2500 287 230 3000 292 235 3500 297 240 4000 302 245 4500 297 250 5000 292 255 5500 287 260 6000 282 255 6500 277 250 7000 0 0 Thanks in advance!

IMO, one of the best places to get real world hp/tq numbers is from
browsing the main Mustang web sites like The Corral, StangNet etc. After seeing all the dyno runs they have posted you will get a good idea for hp/tq numbers for various cars and mods.

Horsepower is calculated as: HP = TQ * (RPM/5252) Torque, not horsepower, determines acceleration. I think of this as: "Torque is for fun. Horsepower is for advertising." -- Cheers, Bob |

Call up Ford's advertising group and see if they're interested. |

I'll check the forums as you recommend as well as remembering this formula. Great slogan. I have seen this written: torque gets you there, horsepower keeps you there (where 'there' refers to high speeds I guess) This has always helped me remember the difference, in simple terms Thanks!
