Default Quick Dumb HP question

This is to just resolve an on-going argument between a friend of mine. He has always been a Mustang guy..big time. He knows all sorts of crap about them..mostly the classics, seeing as he owns a 65 289 3 speed auto. Now...he has always been the Ford guy, I the Chevy, so I know not to try to mess with him on Ford issues..but I have to disagree with him here.

On Fox-Body GT's, he claims the 5.0 HO engine makes 235 hp at the REAR WHEELS, and 285 at the fly. I think it's actually 235 at the fly... Which one of us is right?

PS-Even if I show him this he won't believe me..too damn stubborn..but at least I'll know I'm right, which is ALMOST as gratifying as proving him wrong.
