458HP...517Lb/Ft SHO by Mobsteel




We met up with the Mobsteel crew at Paper Street in Ferndale and had a chance to hop behind the wheel, the difference is palpable. Mash the gas on straightaways and the unrestricted twin-turbo mill delivers a sense of violence the regular SHO lacks. You can light up all four wheels in first gear now, while second pushes the car through the legal speed limit. Where the regular SHO can turn in a respectable 1/4 mile time of 13.7 seconds, the Mobsteel SHO manages a seriously impressive 12.4-second time. That's considerably faster than the Hennessey MaxBoost 435 Lincoln MKS that Matt drove and up there with that fastest of Fords, the 2010 Shelby GT500.

Looks really nice. I saw the SHO at the seattle auto show last year and was very impressed with the fit and finish. Doesn't look to bad either in stock form. This one looks reeel nice.

I wouldn't go that far.

458hp and a stock 11 GT on a tire has run better than that.

I still love the car though.
