I think Ken Wilson Ford stated it exactly correctly when they said estimated. Those performance figures are marketing hype to sell the car to unsuspecting wide eyed fools who don't know any better. With 575 FWHP and 500RWHP in a 3400/3500lb vehicle (w/driver) that is at best a low 11 / high 10 sec car at around 130 mph.

Anyone with $125K of mad money who believes those 8 second performance figures will soon be separated from his money only to discover he has an 11 sec hot rod. We all have to go to school sometime. Some of us just choose schools with higher tuition costs than others.

Still a nice hot rod, still way cool but not even close to an 8 sec 160 mph hot rod - at least not in that trim.
