Nope, they have some "smart" knock sensors that will de-tune to run on 87 octane and give you 392HP and if you run 93 octane you get 412, this is on the 11-12 5.0, I haven't looked at the numbers on the 13-14's but I'm sure they are real similar.
Is that like what the Corvettes have had for a decade plus? Hell, I think even Honda has been doing that forever!
Thanks guys, I love both cars. The notch is a track only car. Even though it is an 80 and technically could be registered as an antique, there is just too much that would go into trying to get it street worthy, mainly wiring, tires, and exhaust. I haven't ran it since November and the best pass then was 1.27 sixty, 5.60@124 on Gen 1 Mickey Radials in Ultra street trim at 3120 lbs.
I plan to make the next tank or two, premium 93 octane and see how it affects mileage. I filled up Monday evening and so far on my daily commuting I'm averaging 21 mpg and trying to keep my foot from going more than about 1/4 throttle on the go pedal LOL.
I did have some guy in a BMW trying to jack with me on the highway this morning, a bit too much traffic to get a side by side run. He was rolling 80-90 and kicking it up here and there, but when I had room and laid into it, he was nowhere to be found LOL.

I guess I should take some engine and interior pics, but then again those areas look like every other Coyote mustang you've seen with leather LOL.

sweet ride bro and that "mid life crisis" term imo is for people who have never had something like it and always wanted one and finally pulls the trigger not for somebody who has been involved all their life aka gearhead
