Only one problem with these motors, price.
I read in Street Machine that the GT 5.4 S/C landed was about $30,000.

An 800 HP "Piston Slapper" that would probably weigh about 100KG less than the Porky Ford motor

The 500HP motor is nice! The ony problem is that the Cobra Mustang weighs almost 5,000 lbs!!! They need to lighten the car.

Good point.
However, I saw on TV the Ford GT converible concept that had a 750hp version of the same motor (5.4 s/c). The man Shelby said himself that the only difference was the tune (more boost) as the bottom end was bullet proof! |

I just got out of boating. You should see the price of motors for a high performance boat!!! The new Mercury Racing 600 (600HP) is approx. $65,000 with the NXT drive!!!! Then you have to but 2 of them 
The Mercury Racing 1075 (1,000HP) costs $125,000 with the number 6 drive.....don't forget you need 2 of them The rebuild time is 25 hours and it costs $26K to rebuild (each)
These cars are ALOT cheaper than a boat--and you can use the car alot more often
