Shucks, neither required fuel available here.  So I will just have to forget it.  Also, I guess if you have to ask how much it is, you cannot afford it.  Now let's see someone use it for a Cannonball run. 8)

Fuel availability might be a problem for that as well? ::)

1200 hp sounds mighty impressive tho.

Not only the 1,200 HP but all the components that had to be upgraded transmission, half shafts, engine,  cooling etc
So it does not implode

The "if you have to ask theory" is correct. This car is probably close to or over $200 k

$200k opens up a lot of different supercar possibilities. Porsche GT3RS for one.

Small block eight so live she feels
There she's parked beside the curb
Engine revving to disturb
She's the princess from his past
Red paint gold stripes damned she's fast"

All I see is bumping up boost and fuel mgmt. editing.  No mods to transmission shafting and gear sets.  Their shop is no more than a hobbyist's.  No labs, manufacturing or serious engineering content.  Having recently considered a Ford performance vehicle researched warranty.  What I discovered may not apply to all cases.  Regarding some, aftermarket packages, the Ford powertrain warranty is void.  Vehicles such as, Shelby/Saleen/Roush/Hennessey carry a 3rd party warranty that can be problematic at non participating dealerships.  Particularly with software.  No thanks.

Very true, but we like to live dangerously

We put vynil stripes on our mustang...
