I am in love with this thing… legit 200 mph car tons of power from the factory with a warranty and a back seat for 50 and change 10s and lots of mph with a few boltons big :tup: to Ford on this one. I’ll take mine in Deep Impact Blue with stripe delete. ---

The grille mesh was found to be a hindrance for cooling needed at 200. In true Shelby fashion, instead of wasting time, money, and effort on redesigning it, they just chucked it. ---

Those are amazing stats at the price point that this car is going to be sold at…200mph capable, 662hp, 0-60 in 3.5sec, 60-0 in 101ft, close to 1g of lateral grip? You have to spend closer to $250k to get those kinda numbers out of anything else on the market. It’s out of my price range regardless, but that is way cool. ---

From autoblog article… > Ford built the supercharged 5.8-liter V8 under the hood with an over-rev function that allows the engine to swing past its standard 6,250 rpm redline to a screaming 7,000 rpm for eight seconds at a time. Exceed that window and the ECU will pull the rpm back to more sane levels for a spell. How can that work? It applies the brakes after 8 seconds? It seem crazy to think about a 3800 lb, $60,000 Mustang going this fast. ---
