After hunting for a short time, I found this on MSN, too.

"While Ford was being environmentally conscientious with the Escape Hybrid, it was quite the opposite with their other unveil at this year's show. Helping to celebrate the Mustang's 40th anniversary, Ford debuted the Mustang GT-R Concept.

This Mustang is pure race car, sporting a carbon fiber hood, a big rear spoiler, full roll cage, and a 440-horsepower aluminum block V8 engine. The Mustang GT-R was built at Saleen Special Vehicles, and was developed by the same folks responsible for the Ford GT.

Although Ford is still calling this a concept car, we wouldn't' be at all surprised to see it on the track very soon. "

440 Horses? That is just a couple SMALL mods on the 03/04 Cobra. What is ford and Saleen trying to get away with here? That's not a Race car - it's a Rice car.
