Ok so the story is this. Me and my boss both bought VERY similar 2002 Mustang GTs over the summer. We both bought them within like a week of one another. We didnt know about one another's cars because he was at another store in Connecticut training some new employees because we had opened a new store over there. When he came back to resume his job at our store he was amazed by my car and ever since has been like my best friend at my job. Like I always thought he didnt care for me too much and was always uptight about me getting my work done before closing but when he found out the mineral gray GT in the parking lot was mine all he does now is when hes walking around supervising is come up to me and talk cars. Which is fine by me because Id rather talk cars for my shift when hes on than do my work lol.
So heres the problem recently he told me that he read that the 2002 Mustang GT puts down 240 hp at the crank and something like 220 at the wheels. While the Bullitt puts down like 270 hp at the wheels and some rediculous number at the crank. EVERY article I read about the GT even the one from Ford says a standard trim GT from 2002 puts down 260 hp at the crank while the Bullitt puts down 265 hp with its upgrades. Now the Bullitt I can understand there being some controversy over since it DOES have a better exhaust and an intake and we are supposed to believe that its only a 5 hp gain? But I do know it isnt much than a regular GT. So can anyone tell me what a stock 99-04 GT puts down hp wise? I mean I am 99% sure that it is 260 hp and I wanted to call my boss retarded but that prolly wouldnt have gone over well. Could someone also tell me what the numbers on the Bullitt are? Possibly anyone who owns one of these cars and had them dynoed while still stock. I mean my boss claims to have an article by car and driver or some **** but he has yet to present it to me. He is supposed to bring in a copy for me tomorrow night and I would like to totally pwn him. I mean COME ON 220 hp at the wheels?! I dont care if Im wrong but Id like to know for sure. Thanks guys.
