Actually you can get that with 2015-2018 Mustang GT and the 5.0 coyote.
727HP, to be exact.

670 HP*

The 727HP (Phase 2) is a 3 year 36,000 mile parts only warranty. The 670 HP (Phase 1) is a 3 year 36,000 mile powertrain warranty.

Good catch sir. You are correct.

Wasn’t trying to be a dick either...I don’t understand why 57 HP would make a huge difference in warranty.

I ran a supposed Phase 2 5.0 all blacked out from a ~30 roll in my hellcat when it was just cai & exhaust (no tune) & I was maybe a bumper ahead of him (I’d say we were dead even because no one was pulling) at ~100-110. I thought my hellcat was broke because I thought it was just a regular 5.0 with exhaust. He told me after & I was relieved, yet surprised he didn’t pull on me due to the weight difference. Those Phase 2s with an aftermarket tune would probably be close to 9 second cars. I know a guy with the top model Roush 5.0 & he says they’re 9 second cars.

No biggie bro. I knew you weren't being a dick. It's cool.

Yeah,.......those Phase 2 cars with a PBD, (Palm Beach Dyno), Lund, or VMP tune and those cars are very impressive.
I think there a couple of them in the low 10's with a PBD tune. S550 cars with Roush blowers, 2.3 TVS. (Not sure if they were Phase 2 cars or not.) I do believe they were both on 93 octane as well!

 

InB4 I wonder what the mpg will be?

I hear the trunk space is legit

I want to see a REAL car not a CGI rendering................a nerdy comp kid could've done better than what that video showed.

Yes, it'll have more power, it will be badass and handle and brake better probably than a 13/14 car but AFAIC I feel it will share KOTH honours with its predecessor NOT take it on its own.

If the new GT500 does have a 5.2 SC, 13/14 still has the larger motor and bragging rights.

I've always looked at the '13-14 as the last of the breed of solid axle, HD manual trans, 'big block' Mustangs. The 5.4/5.8 is a big stroke, torque monster, a 'big block' modular if you will.
Not that the next gen GT500 is better or worse, but it's a different package and the '13-14 is an experience that many will prefer due to its unique qualities.
