IndyBlk5.0 said:simple, why would you want a brand new mustang coming out with lower horsepower ratings than the year before? I think ford did this to try to promote the new body style, not demote it honestly, i think the way of measuring hp was altered that year to make it look like it was low... Then the almighty sn95 stang came out, with a beefy extra 10 hp...

as for the ratings, i doubt there was any major difference in HP from 89-93. 87-88 SD cars may make SLIGHTLY more. how would they add 10 more HP from 93 to 94 without upgrading anything? if anything they downgraded the intake manifold some to clear the hood.
