FORD GT 565 HP TO THE TIRES
An engineering firm that has been doing development work on a Ford GT, reported that on their chassis dyno, a "well broke in" Ford GT made 565 horsepower to the rear wheels. They went on to say that the car was hazing the tires on the dyno and they believed the real numbers are quite a bit higher.

just keeps getting better and better
That article is in the Jan. '04 issue of Car & Driver starting on Page 46. And I do think the 128mph 1/4 pass supports the 565 RWHP claim. Ford "Officially" changed the New GT's HP rating to 550 about a week or so ago, they just didn't say exactly "where" the car made 550HP at!
They also announced that FRPP (Ford Racing Performance Parts) WILL be making Factory performance upgrades for the New GT available in the near future straight thru the Dealerships parts Dept.
