You shopped for a Shelby Mustang a couple of years ago, didn't you, Russ?
A 1000-HP model is reportedly in the works.

I did Mike, it's only improved ...if I won the lottery, this would be my dream setup
You CAN order a 1100hp Super Snake for $200k.... which points to more confirmation the new Ford GT is right around the corner!!!!
Want!!!!

I'm seriously considering selling my IS and ordering the GT500. I see it as getting supercar performance at the price of an average sports car. Not only does it offer 662hp/202 mph/24 mpg, it also offers all the high quality components that are offered in the supercars. Stuff like;
Dual clutch Tremec TR6060 6 speed (used in the Viper with added re-enforced gears)
cast-aluminum oil pan (high capacity)
Interactive launch control (adjustable rpm)
Adjustable steering (3 settings)
Adjustable stability control (four settings)
Bilstein electronic cockpit adjustable dampers (same as GT-R)
External engine oil, trans and diff coolers (with pumps for track use)
Brembo 6 piston calipers
One-piece carbon-fiber drive shaft
Torsen LSD diff (3.31:1)
Leather Recaro seats
Forged wheels
Gurney spoiler
HID/LED lights (sequential tail lights)
High tech built-in track apps (on a 4.2” LCD dash screen). Stuff like;
air/fuel ratio meter
Accelerometer displays lateral and longitudinal g forces
Acceleration times
Automatic start and countdown start 1/4 mile
Brake performance
Cylinder head & intake temp
Plus much more!

I wonder how well they are going to be able to get all of that power to the ground. Mustangs dont have the most clever suspension set ups. Im sure they would need to do something different for this beast.

My buddy Club Lexus member Koz will be selling his IS350 and buying one.He'll still have a GX460.
A local dealer will have one coming in two weeks but they're talking over sticker and he will only pay sticker tops.
The salesman will call him when it reaches the dealership.
