Post Big 3 Performance 650 Horsepower Limited Edition Mustang!













Big 3 Performance 650 Horsepower Limited Edition Mustang

Big 3 Performance and several of today's leading aftermarket manufacturers have embarked on a project to create a limited production Mustang. For this project Big 3 has taken their experience building one off customs to research what they believe will be the standard of performance for Mustangs in this price group.

August 7, 2007 -- Big 3 Performance has joined up with some of the biggest names in aftermarket performance and restyling to take on the likes of America's premier muscle cars. Big 3 has assembled a group of industry giants that have extensive experience in the Mustang enthusiast market to produce a limited number of 100 vehicles for the 2007-2008 model years. Over the past year Big 3 Performance has combined their research, experience and ambition to offer this hand assembled Limited Edition Mustang. Big 3 not only promises more performance per dollar than their competition but also offers a 3 year/36,000 mile warranty on these vehicles.

The Big 3 Performance Limited Edition Mustang's feature many enhancements that not only stay true to the classic design but also add a modern aggressive twist. Of the 100 vehicles built, Big 3 plans on producing just twenty of these 650 horsepower Mustangs. There will also be thirty 500 horsepower cars and fifty vehicles equipped with this menacing appearance package.

About Big 3 Performance

Big 3 Performance has established a reputation for their dedication to perfection that has made them highly respected among their piers. Their special combination of innovative ideas and ambition has placed them at the forefront of performance for today's modern muscle cars. The release of these Limited Edition Mustang's is a testament to their ongoing pursuit to bring super car performance to all generations of Mustang enthusiasts.

Not necessary, but not a bad thing either. Not unusual for cars to be bumped up in the hp department.

It's actually a supercharger. It's attached with a belt. It's a compressor but it's run with a belt rather than exhaust gas.

I think the color choice on the wheels is good but the wheels themselves don't really look great.

The rotors definitely look like they've gotten some work done.

You can ask that about a lot of vehicles! Depends on your perspective.

Is a Ducati really necessary?
