What you see above at a glance seems to fit the description. The 5.0 Mustang & Super Fords crew decided to put this to the test and see if it is as it seems. The rating that the GT500KR is given from Ford is about 540 hp at the crank. After the testing on the dyno the saw much higher numbers that expected, 589.82 hp and 550.24 lb ft at the crank. This means that this street machine will be laying down numbers in the realm of 509 horsepower and 467.7 lb ft to the wheels. That is a force to be reckoned with on the street but also on the track.
