No,
I may be a bit insane but smart enough to know that even 600 hp could kill me quick if I don't respect it and learn how to handle properly. I realize that is will be a big step up form the 450hp restored 67 mustang I had. This all started 35 years ago at the tender age of 6 (1973)when a neighbor down the street had a 427 cobra he would fire up every Saturday and drive. The first time I heard one I was mesmerized and decided I had to have one someday. I was just going to do a garden variety 427 when John told me Roush was releasing a new 8 stack FI in their 511 ci motor and he had acquired serial number 1 of that engine. The "supersnake" twin supercharger idea came from John and I brainstorming how to make the car different from all the others yet still retain the classic shelby basics.

(That and I had to promise my wife I would have my life insurance paid up) Believe it or not my wife wants to learn how to drive it as well. I couldn't get her to even ride in my mustang but she wants to learn how to drive the shelby.
