    Some salesman alright, car runs low 11's (car&driver mag test at sea level) and are presold at 75k. Heavy optioned could hit 95k

    If you get the parts from the Ford Performance catalog to go with it you could realistically have a 9 second car according to them.

    Probably collectors will snatch em up and stick em in storage.

    There are a few on YouTube running 9's and one cracked off a high 8 I'm saying the h.p. Of the motor is underrated by ford If no changes were made after they picked it up.

    After you buy the Performance Parts from Ford.

    We race extensively You gotta pay the 125k to go fast. (I go 6.96 at over 200 at Bandimere)
    build alot of cars so the HYPE has alot to do with the sales pitch.

    Definitely badass but not worth the money. You can go fast for a lot less than that.

    yep, we only have a little over 20k in our budget build, and we should be in the mid to low 9's. below are a couple of pics while we put the engine back in a few weeks ago.(with the body off) now if the wind stops and the track can stay open a full day, we can see what she will do.

    sweet looking car but for that king of money I will take a top of the line vette and dump some serious cash in it and run other cars for pink slips.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.
