I'm not knocking the 4.6 because IMO, it is a nice motor but...
Neither the SOHC or DOHC 4.6 (with of course "the exception" '03+ Cobra ) makes more torque than the LS1, stock vs. stock. Since we're talking '04 GT vs. LS1...ex: average GT: 270-280rwtq...average LS1: 315-325rwtq.
The advantage that the Mustangs have is in gearing, especially in 1st and 2nd (I'm talking manuals here).
T56:1st: 2.66 / 2nd: 1.78 / 3rd: 1.30...rear: 3.42
3650:1st: 3.37 / 2nd: 1.99 / 3rd: 1.33...rear: 3.27 or 3.55 (Mach)
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about those numbers.
Carry on...
