WOW! Only the Sierra Club can hate on this ride.

Shadowsong · 08-05-2008, 10:11 PM

Anyone else notice that that car has an AUTO transmission? And who says you have to have a stick to perform well?

Wm Holden · 08-05-2008, 10:20 PM

My wallet prefers a 1 engine 600hp ride.
My eye's... on the other hand...like it their way.

So if it's Twin Turbo running 1000+ hp and torque, why are they claim 100% stock ford engine? So without getting a bottom end, and just slapping on that TT kit, you will run 8's?

I'm confused by it. That car is fast though, no doubt about that.

TRRBGT · 08-05-2008, 10:57 PM

I've seen the same thing done on a Ford GT with the same engine.

That 5.4L comes from the factory ready to go. Tearing it down can't really improve the performance. Bolting on a twin turbo kit alone can make that hp.

well to be fair the engine in the GT has an aluminum block, the GT500 has a iron block and the supercharger in the GT500 has slightly less boost than the GT.

God do I love stock bodied cars running that good of times!

Boost in the GT?

No, its a decent car, but imagine if they had used all that money and time on a camaro or a corvette.

Considering its a tuning company's shop car, I'm sure a camaro is on their list of future toys.

thats what im wondering. stock motor.... from ford production... well what if they ordered a "production" motor? but then again, mustang guys think a cam swap is a bolt-on. that still impressive tho. however the thing that most people forget about all this, is the suspension setup on that car has to be freaking insane to hook like that.
