The 2023 Mustang GT stock rear end can handle a decent amount of power. While Ford doesn’t officially publish exact limits, many enthusiasts have pushed the boundaries.
Generally, you can expect the stock rear end to handle around 500-600 horsepower without too much trouble.
Beyond that, you might start seeing issues like gear slippage or even breakage. Of course, factors like driving style, tire quality, and track conditions can influence this.
