The S281 was also resistant to stopping, needing 123 feet to erase 60, a feat attributable to its stock brakes |
Hope that helps some. I'm sure some of our local Mustang guys will hop in here and make this right, lol!
*edit* That's for the 3valve version. The article does state there is a 465hp and a 550hp version of the car as well. The one above is a 335hp version. So there are three different ones, hopefully he has the 3 valve! Our LLT v6 cars will damn near run with it, lol.
Link to the whole article Just under $50k for the 3 valve? WOW!!
