The 5.0-liter V8 is probably what fans are most excited to hear about — it’s good for 435 hp and 400 lb-ft of torque. That’s a tidy 15 hp and 10 lb-ft increase over the outgoing model, and it’s within spitting distance of the 444-hp Boss 302. Not bad.
The two other motors aren’t too shabby, either. The 3.7-liter V6 gets 300 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque, and the turbocharged 2.3-liter inline-four EcoBoost puts down a very respectable 310 hp and 320 lb-ft. For some perspective, the V8-powered 2005 Ford Mustang GT put down just 300 hp, so we’ve clearly come a long way — and there’s no telling just what other, even hotter versions of this new Mustang are in the works.

The forums tell of disappointments with various ‘cat back’ exhaust systems. The V6 sounds like a V6 no matter what the exhaust.
I’ll keep it stock and save my pennies for a old MOPAR convertible as a driver/hobby car.
I’m really happy with my 2012 3.7 V6. More than enough HP for the daily driver, 24 MPG City, and almost 31 MPG highway (calculated by hand at the pump). I’ve blown off RX8, LS1 GTOs, and a few Jags around town. The 3.7 V6 Mustang is really the perfect car for the money.
My only disappointment is the sound. I so much miss the sound of a V8 growl….
We can fix that sound problem!!! Let’s do it!!!
