Welcome to the forum, glad to have you.

As for the HP rating, I'm not up on the newer Mustangs, but the members in the Tech section can surely help you out. Start a new thread in the Tech section specific to your year Mustang and someone will tell you there. Good luck

Welcome aboard.

The v-6 has plenty of power. Enjoy it....

The 1999 Mustang Cobra got recalled for not having the specified horsepower. You can bet yours has it.

I was recently told by Ford: "Thank you for choosing Ford. While we do our performance and fuel economy testing with 93 octane, it is perfectly safe to use 87 octane if you wish to do so"

Welcome

Yes that is the rated HP. The acceleration can be slow to respond but a tune can fix that and wake up the engine
