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.
everything I have read on it says 500 hp/500tq out of the 5.0 cammer engine and it is setup as a road race car just like the cobra R yes I agree the wing looks ricey but if its a road race car with that kind of power it is there for a reason DOWNFORCE

not like the ones you see on a civic they are there cause they seen someone else with one and had to have it
