ABEL Racing has a 10xx HP C5 that cost a heck of a lot less than a Rustang, and also has a cage, and isn't a Ford.
Also, lol @ the Kenne Bell SC. They suck, give it up already.

Ford "performance" overpriced??!! Weird.
The best thing they could have done was put an LS3 in it with an F1.

Back in the late 70's, one of my uncles [who was a Ford mechanic for 30 yrs] beefed-up a '69 Mustang Fastback for me. It was super hot. I had it only 30 days when I had it out on a county road one night seeing what it could do... I was up to 130MPH when I went through a intersection that had a DIP the size of the Grand Canyon with a 4ft wide pot hole 10" deep at the bottom of it! I busted both tie rods, folding the tires underneath like Doc Emmitt Brown's Delorean time machine...went airborn for well over 100 feet and then flipped end-over-end 3 times.
The impact was so hard that the next morning we found the gas cap that had been secured between the rear-tailights where the fill opening is located with a 1/8th inch steel cable .. wedged under the driver's seat-- the cable had been snapped like a wooden match. It is a really strange sensation watching in what seemed like slow motions as the driver's side window & windshield shatter into millions of small pieces and knowing it was my head causing it. No air bags in '69 Mustangs!
So I need another Mustang... you know what they say about getting back into the saddle.... and over-coming your fears.

And I'll bet it struggles to turn into pit row at idle.
In all seriousness, it takes a lot of tech to put that much horsepower down and keep it in one piece. But, it takes a whole lot more to do it AND make it stop, turn and be liveable on the street. I wonder if that 1100hp Stang is very streetable on a daily basis. I'd bet not. In contrast, a Ferrari 458, Lanborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, etc. have actually proven to be insanely fast, relatively quick and liveable on a daily basis. That they look gorgeous doing it is a plus, not the reason they should command prices of $200K or more.
How much does it make on motor Pumkin?
just under 1100 FWHP.
Why would anyone trash a Shelby GT500?
You can never have too much horse power.
