The Mustang from 2011-2014 has the 227 V6 in the guide. There's actually one racing in Div. 1 in M\SA. Then in 2015 with body style change to what it is now the 138 Turbo 4cyl. is in the guide.

I had to look at it now that I opened my mouth. So hopefully I'm close. If not forgive me. The Dodge 3.5L SOHC is listed as 250 hp and ended in 2010 models. The 3.6L DOHC V6 is rated as 305 hp. 8 speed transmissions came into play 2015. The same 3.6L in a Charger is rated 292 (exhaust or tune better in the Challenger?). Now at the same time the 5.7 Hemi is rated at 376 hp and is in the book at 300. If either V6s were in the book, which they should be. I would think those combos should get the same percentage off on their advertized Hp ratings to start. Not like there is a mad rush to build street 5.7 Hemis either. Some younger folks like new cars. Me too!
