and i bet performance wont improve all that much, again .... just like the GT500 is barely faster and quicker than a boss 302, and insignificantly faster than a stock GT v8.
all about grip

800hp shelby....
just trying to think who would be able to drive this thing without smashing it into a wall. I mean, we all can drive it with 1/4 throttle, but then whats the point of 800hp? Im sure the driver would be tempted to press it at some point, and the results without experience would be ugly.

and as much as i enjoy rwd cars. having one with 800hp would be a little to much. and im not a fan of ford ;p

I can't believe anyone would pay 80-100k for a freakin Mustang, unless we're talking vintage collectors Shelby's or something. For a new Cobra is just stupid.

Nice! I just built my own with all the options and it came out at $97k! We'll see how it performs with that much power.
