1000 horse Shelby in the 8s

I searched and didn't see this. But I remember someone here talking about stock block mustangs in the 8s, well here is one

WOW! Awesome unit.

He's whooping a "race car" in that 3rd run! I thought the GT500's crank(or bottom end) was not forged like the 03-04 Cobra's

You were misinformed. Steel crank, forged rods, forged pistons. The rods in the GT500 are weaker than the Manley rods that came in the 4.6 Cobras, but as evidenced by the many GT500's running 700+ rwhp, the engine is a stout unit right forom the factory. The key is not to spin it more than 6200rpm.

Yeah, but the interior is ugly.

OK. So the 03-04 Cobra crank is Forged..correct? I guess you can get the same #'s out of the GT500 as the 03-04 Cobra's because of the added displacement. Man that thing is sick.

If I'm not mistaken that car and company were in Hot Rod a while back. That car was bad then, now it's just plain nasty!!! I do believe he used to pick his kids up from school in it.

Verrrry impressive. I might be talked into paying dealer add-on for one exactly like that.

Ford certainly knows how to make their motors boost-friendly. 8s with factory anything is astounding.

Sick ride but I was more interested in the song. Anyone know what song that is?
