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!
