10 HP big deal, I’m sure once the owner has the car, they can easily remove the emissions restrictions to gain it all back.

When picking up a 2022 GT, first stop would be to install a resonator delete (reduced weight and slight power increase), 2nd stop less restrictive filter, and then a tune…problem solved as it will pick up anything that was lost and more.
If the car wasn’t ordered with active exhaust then it will likely get a cat back anyway so again it will pick up more gains especially when paired with long tube headers.
Power drop reminds me of what Ford did to the 1993 5.0. They dropped ratings from 225hp to 205hp without any significant changes to the motor (other than moving away from a forged rotating assembly).
They likely did it back then to make it seem like the 94 GT was a power bump when it debuted with 215hp…well coincidentally an all new Mustang is slated for 2023 so perhaps they are playing the numbers game again to set a better stage for the new s650 platform that will soon be released…
So I have to spend more money to get what I should’ve had like the 2021? :) and pick up a few ponies?Quote:

It irks me as well Ron. The way gas prices are I feel the need to buy an EV sooner than later. Prices are insane now.
