2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Dyno Run Ends With 409 HP at the Wheels
Chris Cervenka, the e-commerce marketing director at Steeda and proud owner of a Shelby GT350, is much obliged to report that a bone-stock 2021 Ford Mustang Mach 1 develops 409 horsepower at 6,600 rpm and 375 pound-feet at 4,900 rpm. Those are the rear-wheel numbers, and they’re pretty good compared to the crankshaft figures of 480 horsepower and 420 pound-feet, respectively. In other words, the 5.0-engined newcomer loses approximately 15 and 11 percent from the Coyote lump to the wheels.
Priced from $52,720 or $12,600 more than the GT Premium Fastback on which it’s based, the Mach 1 in the following video is finished in Twister Orange, adding $495 to the tally. The 10-speed transmission is $1,595 more than the rev-matching manual, and while on the subject of swapping cogs, Steeda performed the dyno run in sixth instead of seventh because the car would have hit the factory-rated top speed on the dyno in seventh gear.
