Video: How much horsepower does a 2013 V6 Mustang produce at 1 mile above sea level?

Ford Mustang Dyno YT2

The 2013 V6 Ford Mustang is rated by the factory at producing 305 Hp and Torque: 280 ft-lbs. @ 4250 rpm from its 3.7 Liter engine.

At Sea Level it will accelerate from 0-60 MPH in about 5.5 seconds. But when we tested the car at about one mile above sea level in Denver we got a 0-60 MPH time of 7.4 seconds.

To find out why there’s such a significant difference between the two times we put the new 2013 3.7L V6 Mustang on a Dyno.

Thanks to Brian Tobia at Tobz Performance and their Mustang Dyno (yes we put a Mustang on a Mustang Dyno) we were able to Dyno test the newest pony car to determine the real horsepower at the rear wheels at one mile above sea level.

Check out this video to find out why car are so much slower at high altitudes than at sea level.
