Could somebody please straighten me out on the 486 hp thing?

[Twizzty]

Understood.

Any idea where Ford actually “said” this or put it in print?

It's right on Ford's website and couldn't be clearer... https://www.ford.com/cars/mustang/models/gt-fastback/

Perfect, and thank you Twizzty!

You too Zig!

Ford is motivated to advertise 486HP on the GT as a Challenger's 6.4L V8 claims 485 horsepower and 475 pound-feet of torque. For more information, look up Boss vs. Pontiac's Judge battles from decades ago. (Even a boss answers to a judge.)

I'm more interested in the $100 federal excise tax. When did that get tacked on? I know I didn't pay that. That's like 2.3 tanks of gas! Do manual transmissions pay that AND guzzler tax?

Because track setting is technically not street legal, they quote the 480...I assume.
