LLEVE MI GT500 A MEDIR SU POTENCIA Y NO FUE LO QUE ESPERABA || JUANITO MARTINEZ

Summary

The video shows Luis reviewing the horsepower of his Ford Mustang Shelby GT500. He takes it to a dyno shop and finds it makes only 637 horsepower, not the 700+ expected. His mechanic says it can be tuned to make 800hp but that would stress the engine. Luis decides not to tune it further for now, wanting a daily driver he can enjoy rather than a race-only car. He will see if it can beat its claimed 640hp first before considering upgrades.
