Just How Much Power Is This Drag King Mustang Secretly Making?

We call bullshit on this 'Stang's '495rwhp' as it demolishes a bi-turbo Porsche 997

Rocking up to face a twin-turbo, E85-fuelled Porsche 911 Turbo wearing a rather smart TechArt bodykit, we find a suspiciously lumpy-sounding Fox-body Ford Mustang. The stance and noise reek of drag racer, yet the AV Boys 'Grey Mare' 'Stang claims just 495rwhp. Allowing for a 15 per cent drivetrain loss, that means this Mustang is good for about 570bhp at the crank - less than a Mercedes E63 AMG?

The difference between BHP and WHP explained.

So, just how does it go about rinsing the race-ready Porsche in this California street race? We're saying this Mustang is good for at least twice its quoted power output, and wannabe street racers should think long and hard before laying down a wager.

Still, we like your burnouts, AV Boys. And nice wheelstand bro...
