Its funny tho.. my bolt on 4.6 couldnt keep up with his 525... from a DIG or a ROLL. (3.08's) But on the top end I'd always catch him..
Ooops, my bad. I believe the 5.0 Mustangs from that era had 300 ft. lbs. of torque and 225hp. Then again supposedly Ford screwed up the numbers on the actual output, so it was more like 215hp/290tq. Dunno for sure though.

For what it is the 525 ain't all that bad i'd guess. The new 530's seem to put down some decent numbers.

Anyone know if the 5 series is getting the 3.0 liter twin turbocharged motor used in the 330i?
