Wheelnut, i’ve seen pics of the Koenigsegg engines and they where the Quad cam ones. I know what you mean by what you can get out of them.

I believe that Koenigsegg uses a Ford [pushrod] V8 in their 1000hp monster the CCX

I know Koenigsegg isn’t a part of ford but it shows how much power Ford/FPV could create if they wanted to..

Hey you know in the States they use underdrive pulleys on the Stang from the factory to help with more grunt low down,yet in OZ FPV wont cause they say it affects the internal balance of the engine. Not that it stops everyone doing it themselves!

75kws for every 100hp,thats right ha Matt!

They also make a 600 hp one that come with a warranty! Shelby that is! $70,000 US cheap car !

The Viper shown translates to 600bhp (in case any one is wondering), so yeah I reckon the Shelby would give it a fair kickin’.

Ok 8.4 litres is getting out of control !

Hey Frugal One , So don’t you think the new Shelby Super Snake Mustang with 725 horsepower out of a 5.4 with a blower on it would give it a run?

Umm yeah, ‘*****PRIMO!*****’, whatever.

Always loved the car, but not a fan of this treatment, especially the wing. Curvaceous car though, I love that. New cars tend to be a bit blocky these days.

Ohh and 448kw is yummy too.

*****PRIMO!*****

A monster for sure, have they fixed the brakes yet, or don’t they have bends and curves in US roads?

Just in time for the BlueDevil Vette, Ford as usual not even in the game park.
