The new Saleen motor thats coming out next month is pretty sick. 5.0L, supercharged, twin intercooled, forged internals, fully ported heads, 620HP/600TQ....... on 5 pounds of boost.

Whoaaaaaa..all that work, and coming right there with teh ZR1. Add the additional weight of all that, putting the Mustang at over 2 tons like the GT500KR, and you have a heavy tank.

Lets see...hand built by master engine techs, titanium connectic rods, forged crank and pistions, all aluminum block, CNC ported heads, titantium valves, dry sump oiling system, and when equiped with a 6spd manual, can possibly achieve 25mpg....
Nuts? Yeah, taht engine is pretty nuts.

nah, its supposed to weigh in at just 3480lbs. It should be pretty quick. Its also coming with a 4:10 posi rear, 6-speed trans, lightweight body panels, the same suspension and brake components as the S7, carbon fiber interior and exterior components, and the rep said that the motor will be built to handle the power of a pulley change and should stand up to over 700hp with no problems. Not saying its a better car, but pretty damn impressive for a pony car.

al's in uber fanboi mode
