'13 Shelby To Get S/C'd 5.8
Seems the final decision was grow the existing 5.4 to 5.8 and keep it
supercharged. Horsepower swells from 550 to at least 600. http://www.mustangheaven.com/2011/20...-v8/#more-7745 But I have to wonder when the old modular gets exchanged for the newer Coyote V8. Patrick |

I say maybe 10-15 years ago, but not these days. Not when you have regular family sedans running 14 second quarters and trapping in the 90+ mph range. > .......but I would try to drive it as daily driver anyway! I'm with you on that! Patrick |

Hasn't been a problem, although it is not my daily driver. I have driven in rain, and it isn't bad unless you rally get on it. |

Patrick >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> found my kenne bell power-speed slide rule; 600hp at 3800 lbs is a weight/power ratio of 6.5, which should give 10.5 sec 1/4 mile at 126 mph (if you could fix torque limiter, and the bog) an 1993 LX coup weighs 3010 so it would have to have about 460 hp to do the same with a LX 1993 at 3,010 # and 330 hp the weight/power is 9.4 and could do 11.7 sec in 1/4 mile at 112 mph ...... roughly 100 pounds is worth about 15 hp (from slide rule) spare tire, carpet, back seat, headliner, passenger seat, + |
