Holy crap, that thing is wild. I wonder what the numbers are for that engine?

 

[RedEnuf93]

Yeah right...

That will happen AFTER GM has put a 427 in a Vette.
(and we all know that is not going to happen anytime soon)

I will not be looking a Rustangs taillights anytime soon!

The specs on the car are as follows.............

Why would Ford not put a V-10 in the mustang?
The mustang is lighter than the viper right?
if so, then it would be faster.. ocrrect?
It would make things intersting....

 

[STUGOTS]

Actually its not 3565 curb.
while the gen 2 viper is 3405 curb.
Also the v-10 they are using has less HP and alot less TQ and alot less CI's.

REMEMBER, a HORSE weighs MORE than a SNAKE!

Ford had a wild alloy V-10 slated for their future Cobra

The V10 is very detuned. In bigger Cobra spec it makes over 600hp. If they ever do produce a few tuner V10 Mustangs - a few tweaks will turn them into serious weapons.... the sad thing (for us) about it is the SOUND

The sound of that Ford V10 is so sweet it'll make us Viper fans cry..... not sure what they've done to get that - but it is the meanest sounding V10 on the planet if you like the concept of a sound that combines the bass and note of a big block high winding V8 with the smooth scream of a V12 all in one package.

Same reason GM does not make Caddy 16 or Vette 427...

NO BALLS...

This is the perfect response. The stats on this car ARE impressive. This motor was also looked at by Hot Rod Magazine. The car was a Mustang Mule that they also did an in depth look at as well. My biggest beef with Dodge is that Ford did a great job on the motor, good for 600 hp and the Dodge motor was aching(can I say this? ) at 450 HP. Maybe the next Coupe for the Street will be using a stock block with 600 HP on 8.3Liters. That would be awesome! If you all remember the show on Discovery or The Learning Channel? The program was called Rides? on Tuesdays. They did an in depth ground up look at the newly designed brick err Cobra that even J. Mays, Lead designer at Ford said "I like the car from the back bumper to the middle of the front wheel well Many of us don't like the front fascia either!
