Looking like it may be 455 hp for GT and 755 hp for the GT500.

The images Ford put out of the dash show gear 4 and speed 55 for one and then other shows gear 7 and speed 55 for the other.

The also put the mileage at 1964 which is year mustang started so it looks like they left a little easter egg there.

That's awesome. 755hp would be insane.

You can also see the redline on the first picture is lower which would make sense for the GT500.

1964.5, i.e. 1964 1/2

I will be taking my first turn with it shortly. My first DI engine will be bought or leased in April when it's off the boat from Japan. I'm not too concerned with it as this point since the car isn't German.

I've had everything else. FWD, RWD, AWD, gas, diesel, electric, car/truck, jeep, coupe, convertible (duh/S2k), hatch, sedan, wagon (never interested in suv/cuv/minivan). Inline 4, turbo boxer 4, turbo inline 4, V6, V8. My perfect motor would be a single or TT V6, or N/A V8. And it would be in a 3 or 5 door hatchback. Something like Turbo V6 in a hatch STi drivetrain. Or a coyote or better yet, voodoo, in a Focus RS. One of those V8's in an AWD hatch platform, I'd break my hand writing a check and would actually pay MSRP for the first time ever. I love RWD for weekend/track car but not for DD which will see all weather. My STi was a beast in all weather, didn't matter what road conditions were. But it was tuned and the motor is or can be fragile.

For the past 3 years I've had a cheap lease for DD that requires no fuel so I've been socking away cash I'd normally spend on 4 wheelers and gas. In that time I've learned all the advantages of EV's for DD use and reminded of the drawbacks of FWD. I miss AWD for DD use. It sucks having to slow down on the highway in the rain with FWD. Any inclement weather and FWD or RWD doesn't become worthless or anything, it's just AWD shines in those conditions. Unlike most here it's my preferred drivetrain for any weather, even the dry. I put an early deposit down on the upcoming 3 just in case. Want to see P/D options and pricing. My end game is MY2020. I will wait until the all new STI comes out. I've been waiting on a new motor since 2012 when I sold mine. It was a motor away from being my perfect vehicle. If I don't like it, if they haven't made a solid motor with a bump in hp/tq and generally beefed up the car I'll buy both a 3 and a Shelby base with track pack and I'm getting out of the perpetual new car game. Gonna try and pick a pair and be done with this for 10+ years. I'm picky, have niche tastes, and I was successful in setting up my 2 wheel fleet for the next 10-15 years.
Gearhead costing me vacations and other things in life. Passion can be a $ vacuum.
The GT350 is the first RWD car that I've come across in my life since the original NSX that ticks every box for a fun car. I'm cheap so bang for the buck, are my favorite automobiles.

Many on the Mustang forums think it is Ford giving the hp info out to those that figure it out. Ford has done similar things before to give little clues.

Top one shows 7 and 55 being 755 hp and bottom shows 4 and 55 giving 455 hp. The info was definitely put there on purpose. It shows 2 different redlines so one is obviously for a different Mustang model yet to be released. 7500 redline is for new Mustang. You can tell by mileage being 1964.5 when the mustang was first made. Miles to empty is 289 which is the first V8 Mustang motor. It's not all coincidental.
