650bhp and 600lb-ft of torques.
That new stang sounds pretty impressive , I've owned quite a few muscle cars and however hot they make the new models my heart is still stuck in the real 60's ones. RIP Carroll Shelby.
Quite a guy Mr Shelby. One of the longest ever heart transplant survivors too.

Imagine what they could do if was aerodynamic!
PSA - on BBC4 at 8pm this evening is a programme about Carroll and the Cobras v's Ferraris battle. Could be good viewing.
Only just seen this - real shame. If you're in Las Vegas any time, hire a car and drive out to the Shelby factory/museum - it's free as well.

If that is the program I have seen before then don't miss it! Off to set a reminder.
RIP Carroll, there ain't no substitute for cubic inches!
