I paid 26K for it 18months ago as it was only just out, the prices have come down dramatically since then or you could pick up a second hand V8 for about 16k they are out there

I put mine on the dyno when I first got it and it ran at 280bhp, that was good enough for a 13.80 - 0-60 about 5.5 seconds

One of your baby ones Terry, the GTR's are quoted as 276bhp but are normally nearer 300. Still cannot get over that 540lb torque figure :love:

not had mine on the rolling road yet, all I`ve done is fit a De-cat, Kakimoto race back box and Apexi filter. Don`t know what horses I`ll be getting.

That was bog standard, these are pretty quick cars to start with which gives you the choice of settling for what you have when you get it or sliding down the slippery slope like me and plough money in to make it even faster.
One thing people don't seem to realise about the new mustang is that they are extremly advanced, the technology is fantastic and has suprised everyone I have asked to work on it, the trouble comes when you want to start cutting things out and replacing parts as the car knows exactly what you have done and throws up error codes
