From the article.
We’ll go straight to the numbers:
360 horsepower at 5,250 rpm
375 ft.-lb. of torque at 3,000 rpm
0-60 in 4.9 seconds
quarter-mile in 12.5 seconds at over 109 miles-per-hour.

Curious. What's your opinion? MSRP $48,975

Ditto. Take a base V6 ,strip it and do the conversion. I would imagine that the involved cost would be a lot less, given you do the work. Mine was--97 V6 with a 95 5.0. Although it was/would be a long term project.

I like it much better then the Saleen's with exception of the S351's, but I never would buy one. 50,000 is way to much to pay for a car. IF I had the money to buy one I would get just a plain mustang, buy the body kit, and do my own performance goodies. It would be better then the Roush and performe better.
